Measuring your space before you buy furniture

Measure the floor footprint, then measure the path the piece must travel: doorway width, lift depth, and any tight stair turns. Our listings publish packed dimensions for exactly this reason.

Leave at least 75 cm of walking clearance around seating, and 45 cm between a sofa and a coffee table.

For dining, allow 60 cm of table edge per person and 90 cm behind each chair so it can be pulled out comfortably.
