Designing your own kitchen is easy. To start, you need to draw up measured floor and wall plans. This means measuring your kitchen's width (wall to wall), its height (floor to ceiling), and the location of the doors and windows.
 
Once you have your kitchen measured, you can plan where to place components. Download our planning kit to see how your kitchen might look with standard cabinet sizes.
 
Don't forget to consider where you would like your sink, oven, cooktop, fridge and dishwasher. And remember to leave yourself room to move.
 
Designing your own kitchen will save you at least 10% on a typical kitchen cost, as you are not paying for the designer's commission. If you get stuck, for a small service fee, Umakem can always help you out.
