One of the most painful renovation mistakes is building cabinets before confirming appliance sizes. A fridge that sticks out, an oven that won’t fit, or a washing machine door that hits the wall — all come from poor planning.
Before carpentry begins, finalize:
fridge width and height
cooker/oven type (tabletop, built-in, standing)
microwave location
dishwasher or washing machine location
Once cabinets are built, changing them costs money and heartbreak. Real renovators measure twice, not once. And they leave small allowance space because walls are not always perfectly straight. Precision here saves money later.
