The Jiangsu designer fixes ceiling height before drawing and leaves about 25 cm at the top if the ceiling is unfinished. Two more checks: a tall cabinet assembled on its back must tilt up, so its diagonal must clear the ceiling; and a tolerance clause only helps if someone measures the cabinets at inspection before loading.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-do-you-measure-for-appliances-and-what-goes-inside\">How do you measure for appliances and what goes inside?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Measure the contents, not just the room: every appliance from its installation drawing, and the largest items each cabinet must hold.<\/strong> Almost every failure the Jiangsu designer collected was about contents: a 622 mm fridge left protruding from a 600 mm recess, a shoe cabinet 1 cm too shallow for men&#8217;s shoes because an exposed end panel was not counted, a coat section built to the standard 120 cm instead of the 140 cm requested.<\/p>\n<p>The designer&#8217;s pre-measure list: built-in appliance sizes and ventilation (side- or back-venting models need a gap inside the cabinet), sink and hood, robot-vacuum dock, lighting circuits and cable holes, curtain boxes, and air-conditioning outlets that inexperienced designers sometimes place inside a cabinet.
