Home Appliances

When considering getting new kitchen appliances, it is important that they fit properly in your kitchen. Poorly fitting kitchen appliance can cause traffic flow problems which reduces the functionality of a kitchen. In order to ensure a kitchen appliance will fit correctly, make sure to take and write down several different measurements to bring with you when you go shopping for any new kitchen appliance.

Instructions

1 Measure the height and width of all the doorways between where the appliance will be brought in and the kitchen and write down each set of dimensions. In order to have a kitchen appliance that will fit in your kitchen, it must first be able to get there. So do not assume that an appliance will fit through a doorway.
2 Measure the distance from the floor to the bottom of the cabinet where your kitchen appliance will be fitting and write this number down. Subtract an inch from this number to allow for ventilation. This is how high your kitchen appliance can be. This number is particularly important with taller appliances like refrigerators.
3 Measure the space from the end of the wall or cabinet on the left side of where your appliance will be going to the end of the right side of the wall or cabinet. Subtract 1/2 inch from this number to allow for easy installation. This is how wide your kitchen appliance can be. Subtract an additional 2 to 3 inches when a light switch or electrical outlet is next to where the appliance will be.
4 Measure the length from the back wall to the end of the front cabinet. This is the maximum depth you will want you kitchen appliance to be in order to fit properly.
5 Measure the distance from the back wall to the closest opposing object, like a cabinet or island. This is the maximum depth your cabinet can be with the door open.
6 Bring these measurements with you when you go to buy your appliances to ensure they will fit properly. Make sure to check the appliance height, width, depth and depth with the door open. If any of measurements is greater than the ones you wrote down, then you need to consider a different appliance.
