While measuring may not be as exciting as picking out new furniture, it's essential to ensure your
new piece fits into your home. Here's how to measure both your space and the furniture:
Measuring Your Space:
Identify the Delivery Pathway: Map out the best route from the outside of your home to where the furniture will be placed. Consider the following:- Elevators
- Hallways
- Corners
- Stairways
- Doorways
- Banisters
- Drop ceilings
- Light fixtures
- Bulkheads
Measure for Fit and Accessibility:
Measure all these areas to ensure the furniture can pass through without issues.
Measuring Your Furniture
Final Location: Determine if the new piece will fit in its intended spot. Use painter's tape to outline
the area where the furniture will be placed.
Key Dimensions: Ensure you have the height (H), width (W), depth (D), and diagonal (DI) measurements of the furniture.
These measurements are crucial for:
- Confirming the furniture fits in its final location.
- Ensuring it can navigate through the delivery path, especially around corners and through doorways.
