How to Measure for Countertops

  1. Measure each run โ€” the straight sections of counter along walls. Include L-shapes and U-shapes as separate runs.
  2. Measure depth โ€” Standard kitchen counter depth is 25 inches (including overhang). Bathroom vanity: 22 inches. Island: 36โ€“42 inches.
  3. Add backsplash โ€” Standard backsplash is 4 inches tall. Full-height backsplash goes to the upper cabinets (15โ€“18 inches).
