Floor plan tips

Furniture, doors and windows on metric plans are in centimeters: a 90 cm door is 35.43 in, an 80 cm door is 31.5 in, and a 60 cm kitchen cabinet is 23.62 in wide.

US standard interior doors come in 32, 34 and 36 in, which are 81.3, 86.4 and 91.4 cm. If a metric plan shows an 80 cm door, a 32 in door is the closest match.

A 60 cm appliance slot is 23.62 in. US appliances are nominally 24 in (60.96 cm), about 1 cm wider, so check the exact width before you buy.
