Selecting new furniture is an exciting step in transforming your house into a home. Accurately measuring your space and delivery route is essential to ensure your new piece fits beautifully and is delivered without hassle. Follow this guide to learn how to measure furniture dimensions and your space to make the process smooth and stress-free.
The first step is to measure the room where the furniture will reside. Ensure you have the product dimensions handy. Our website lists them in width (W) x depth (D) x height (H) format.
Sketch Your Room Layout: Use graph paper to draw your room's shape and dimensions. Include existing furniture to visualize how the new piece will fit. The grid lines will help you determine placement and spacing.
Create a Life-Size Template: Use painter's tape, masking tape, newspaper, or butcher paper to replicate the dimensions of your chosen piece. Place the template on the floor or wall to understand the space it will occupy.
Tip: Consider your existing furniture and decor. Does the new piece complement your current items? Compare dimensions and profiles to ensure a cohesive look.
After confirming that your furniture will fit in your space, measuring your delivery route is crucial. Ensuring the furniture can pass through doorways, hallways, and stairwells will make delivery hassle-free.
Plan the Delivery Path: Identify the most straightforward route from the delivery point to the furniture's final destination.
Measure Doorways and Hallways
Measure the width (W), height (H), and diagonal height (DH) of doorways and hallways.
Account for corners and tight turns the piece may need to clear.
Check Elevators and Staircases: If you live in an apartment or need to navigate stairs or elevators, measure these spaces too.
Consider Obstacles: Note any permanent fixtures, like light fixtures or built-ins, that might obstruct the delivery path.
Verify Furniture Dimensions: When considering the total dimensions, remember to include legs, feet, and bases. Some parts may be removable, but consult Customer Care for guidance if space is tight.
Once you've measured your space and delivery route, you're ready to complete your order. When your new furniture arrives, you can enjoy the perfect addition to your home, knowing it fits seamlessly in your space.
