i have found a photo which i want to recreate. however, my normal visualisations are done using plans sent to me. so my 'by eye measuring' i have just discovered is way off. i've posted the image. if anyone wants to put some rough dims on in p.shop and repost it then please do.

 

so far i'm going off the basis that the table top for those stools (in a row) is around 1250 with a ceiling height of around 2750. i worked this out from a rough idea that the units by the fridge are of a rough height of 600mm

 

but as i say i have a feeling i'm way off the mark

Come on Dave, do you not have a kitchen at home... My kitchen worktop is 900mm to top of surface and worktop depth of approx 30mm, which is uk standard.

 

Come on Neil, you not have a kitchen at home? Are you seriously telling me your worktops are only 30mm deep? ;)

Been in the cabinet biz my whole life. European standards are 870mm from floor to top of cabinet, another 30mm for a countertop, which brings the total to 900mm. If you have a eating bar or just an elevated island or section of counter, it is usually 1067mm (42") high. Typical cabinets are 630mm deep. Visit Subzero.com for average fridge dimensions. (Note: obviously dimensions of cabinets vary by manufacturer and region but these would be the safest bet.) Hope this helps.

The whole metric thing still throws me off. but it looks like ceiling tiles in the uk are 600mm x 600mm

 

Which is 2 foot x 2 foot...

 

1 foot is 297mm, so throw away the 3mm when eyeballing or guess-a-mating.

I've discovered a LOT of things here in Australia (which is metric) has their basis in Imperial.

 

Lots of things are either 300mm or 150mm or 450mm... all based around the foot or half-foot.
