How to plan your kitchen layout
- Measure the room from inside wall to inside wall, and note where doors and windows are.
- Pick a starting layout close to your kitchen, then set the room size in the Room tab.
- Place the big three first: sink, range, and refrigerator. Watch the work triangle check turn green.
- Fill in cabinets with standard widths, and add wall cabinets above.
- Add doors and windows and drag them along the walls. Door swings show you what they'll hit.
- Check clearances: select any item to see its distance to walls and other cabinets.
- Switch to 3D, try finishes, then share the plan or download the cabinet list for quotes.
Kitchen planning rules of thumb
- Work triangle: 13–26 ft total, each leg 4–9 ft, with no traffic cutting through.
- Aisles: 42″ for one cook, 48″ for two, 36″ minimum for walkways.
- Landing space: 12″ and 15″ beside the range, 24″ and 18″ beside the sink, 15″ beside the fridge.
- Dishwasher within 36″ of the sink.
