Measuring Up
Essential Things to Know
Now you have selected which gorgeous pieces you are going to order it will just take a minute to check that you have enough space. Our trick is to get a tape measure and some masking tape to tape out on the floor the pieces of furniture – Then you can imagine how they will look and whether they are the right size for the space. When you have finished masking tape can be easily peeled off without leaving a mark.
Most importantly, you need to check all access areas including all doors (front and internal doors) inside the architrave especially if you are ordering sofas, dining tables or beds. Our thoughtful team will deliver your sofa with arms that are attached once your sofa is in place, thereby ensuring a smooth fit through doorways. If your new pieces need to come in via lifts, stairways or corridors – don’t forget to check measure these too.
Remember to leave room around furniture to pass by and, in the case of dining chairs and desk chairs etc, room to push the chair back to get in and out. With aesthetics in mind, as long as it will fit, it’s best to go for large scale as things that are too small do not look as chic.
If you are thinking about tall pieces, don’t forget to measure your ceiling height leaving a little bit of breathing space between the top of the furniture and the ceiling! Do you have enough space to get it in!? Having chosen the pieces you love and made sure they will fit in the space you have, you now need to check that they can be delivered into the room.
