Firstly measure your overall room size. Then, using a piece of graph paper, draw a scale outline of the room and then measure and mark out doors, windows and other features that can not be moved (include electrical points, gas points and water / drainage unless you intend to move these). Once you have the outline and features / connection points set out you can start deciding where to put units. It is a good idea to take a few copies of the original outline before starting to set units out on it, this will enable you do do several plans and choose the one that suites you best. Alternatively, you could cut out unit size shapes from another piece of paper and lay them over the outline, these can then be moved around to obtain the best layout. Lay out plans can get confusing once you have base units and wall units set out on it. Try doing a separate lay out for the base units and wall units, show all tall housing and larder units on both as they will span from the base unit level right through to the top of the wall units. You may find it useful to do the wall unit layout on a piece of tracing paper that can be overlaid on the base unit plan. Once you have chosen your ideal layout list all the units required to create your kitchen on a separate sheet. Remember that you will need to list all plinths, pelmets and cornice that you want as well (these are easily forgotten at the planning stage). Keep your plans to hand for when you start building the kitchen.
