When you are redesigning a space, it’s easy to get carried away with the design and you may forget about making it practical. Measuring a room should be one of the first things you do before you start accessories, appliances, and fixtures – This allows you to know exactly what is and is not doable for your space.
If this sounds complicated and challenging, do not worry Remodel Republic is here to help. Follow these steps below and you will be on your way to having the room of your dreams!
Quick Reminders Before You Get Started
Draw your space using a ruler and a pencil. This does not have to be a masterpiece. We just need to know the details of what is in the space you want to redesign. This includes where windows, doors, heaters, odd angles, obstructions, or anything else you need to account for in your renovation.
Take a tape measurer and measure out the walls of the space to the exact Inch. If you have a door, make sure to show which way the door will open (Refer to the diagram). Be sure to take overall measuring’s as well as the details.
If your space is a kitchen measure remember to measure all parts of the island, if you have one. Be sure to mark the pantry door, if you have one. Please refer to the diagram designed by one of our in-house designers.
This is where you measure the doors and windows. First, start at the top left of your drawing and work your way around going clockwise. This helps you keep track of what you need to measure in your drawing. This also allows you to get every measurement because you know your starting position.
Remember with windows, you have to measure the distance from the floor to the bottom of the window and from the top of the window to the ceiling.
If you have any adjacent rooms that you might need to knock a wall down for, be sure to measure that room too. This will make the process a lot smoother and save lots of time. You do not need to map out the whole room, just the parts that come in contact with the space you are remodeling.
This is when you write down the measurements of all fixtures, fittings, radiators, air vents, and pipes. Remember to measure in width across the front x then height x then depth. Also, measure from the floor to the bottom of the fixture, or fixture to the ceiling if possible.
Measure the space between fixtures and the nearest wall. This is a key step because we can see if there are going to be any challenges when need to shift, remove, or add new items.
For measuring the height of the ceiling, take measurements from different parts of the space. Some spaces have spots of the ceiling that differ several inches in height. This is more commonly found in homes that are older.
Finally, we reached the last step. The last thing you need to do is check your measurements. This is probably the most important step of all because it could potently save you thousands of dollars and save you some stress. There is an old saying that goes “measure twice and cut once”. Always double check your work to make sure you are confident with the end result.
Boom, just like that you are done. Above we have provided a sample design from one of our designers, so please, feel free to reference this to help you with your sketch. Send your rendering to us and we will start getting to work and designing your new space.

If your space is a bathroom for example, when measuring the shower, measure the drain from the 2 closest 90-degree shower walls. Please show the shower arm and head in the drawing. Also, please put down what type of toilet you have. We need to know how and if we need to remove it.

Thank you for choosing Remodel Republic for your remodeling needs.
To measure your kitchen, you need a tape measure, graph paper, and straight edge. Remember to measure clockwise and keep a record of the length of each wall. Note down the width and height and find your center.
There’s no fixed standard measurement. Most kitchens have 10×10 in homes under 1500 sq ft. In big homes, size is near 200 sq ft, or 12×15. In huge houses, the kitchen is rarely bigger than 20×20 or 400 sqft.
As per the National Kitchen and Bathroom Association, 70+ Square Feet is considered to be the most common size for an average small kitchen, which you will normally find in smaller homes, apartments, and condos.
You can measure your new kitchen cabinets by figuring the number of the space you’re using. Then you multiply the number of drawers, cabinet depth and width. A wall cabinet is about 12-24 inches deep and comes in various heights.
To measure your bathroom, check the width-length of your shower enclosure or its perimeter. Then measure the width-length of the cabinets. Note down the measurements in your bathroom floor plan and label it for future reference.
The average size of a bathroom would normally be 40 sq ft or 5×8 or, however, the typical size is between 40 sq ft-100 sq ft. For a bigger master bathroom, the size would be 110-200 sq ft or more.
The size of a small bathroom with shower is generally around 15 sq ft for a room with just the sink and a toilet. You will need 30 to 36 sq ft more if you want to add a tub or a shower, to both the combination onto one.
The minimum space or distance required to be kept or built between a shower and toilet is around 15 inches from the centerline of a toilet to the wall, or any bathroom fixture.
