Furniture Sizing Tip #1: Measure the Area of the Room

The first thing you are going to want to do before purchasing furniture is to measure the area of the room you are working with.

Furniture Sizing Tip #2: Measure the Size of the Furniture You Want to Purchase

Once you have found the ideal piece of furniture for your home, you need to measure it. It will be no good if the couch you are wanting to purchase is three times too big for your home. Once you have measured the item, go home and do a quick mark out of the furniture’s size using tape or chalk; this will give you an idea of how much space the furniture piece will take up in the room.

Furniture Sizing Tip #3: Check the Points of Entry

A common mistake we hear people make is not measuring the points of entry. If you find a perfect piece of furniture, ensure that there is a way to get it into your home through a doorway, window or balcony. Some items are the perfect size for the living room, however, they are way too big for your doorway. Make sure that you are able to get your purchase into your home.

Furniture Sizing Tip #4: Consider the Spacing

Once you have done the measuring and concluded that the furniture will fit through an entry point and fit in the chosen room, it is time to evaluate the other furniture items. Take into consideration the other furniture items in the room and how much space lies between them and your new item. You don’t want to be squeezing between furniture every time you need to get to the door- make sure that there is enough moving room too!
