Luxury Kitchen Renovation: Decisions to Make Before Ordering Cabinetry
The structure, service, appliance, lighting and setting-out decisions to resolve before ordering bespoke kitchen cabinetry.

Bespoke cabinetry turns design dimensions into manufactured objects. Once production begins, unresolved room geometry or equipment choices become expensive changes.
Confirm the room is ready to measure
Decide whether the supplier is measuring existing walls or completed plaster. Record finished floor build-up, ceiling construction, service voids and any walls still subject to structural work.

Freeze the appliance and sink schedule
Models affect ventilation, electrical demand, plumbing, door clearances and support. Avoid approving cabinets around nominal appliance sizes where exact technical sheets are available.

Coordinate stone and lighting
Worktop thickness, overhangs, joints and support affect cabinet construction. Pendants, task lighting and controls should relate to the final island and wall elevations.

Create one approved setting-out reference
Architectural, cabinetry, electrical and plumbing drawings can conflict. Resolve differences and issue one coordinated reference before first fix and manufacturing release.
