Measuring Guide
Whether you're ordering a single piece from our collection or furnishing an entire space through Design Advisory, accurate measurements are essential. This quick guide will help ensure everything fits beautifully—without surprises.
A quick but important note
We’ll use your measurements to recommend furniture and plan layouts—but we’re not able to verify them on our end. That means:
If a measurement is off, it may affect how your furniture fits — and our return policy doesn’t cover those kinds of issues.
We highly recommend double-checking everything before you order. If you’re unsure about anything, we’re happy to guide you.
Furniture Planning
Measure Your Space Before You Buy
Check the dimensions listed on each product page to understand the full scale of the piece you’re considering—width (W), depth (D), and height (H). Just as important, think through how the item will move through your space. Measure key access points like front doors, stairwells, elevators, and interior doorways. Planning ahead ensures your furniture arrives smoothly and fits comfortably into your home.
How to Measure A Room
1. Start with the Room Itself
Grab a tape measure (25' is ideal for accuracy) and begin with:
- Length & width of the room (wall to wall)
- Ceiling height (floor to ceiling)
- Note sloped ceilings, ceiling beams, or any height changes
2. Check Entry Points
Furniture needs to get in first—measure all access points:
- Doorways – height and width
- Hallways, stairwells, and elevators – include any tight turns
- Note clearance around corners or low ceilings
3. Measure Key Features in the Room
These details help us design around existing elements:
- Windows – width, height, and height from floor
- Built-ins, fireplaces, vents, or radiators – note their placement and size
- Wall-mounted ACs or heating units – anything that affects layout
4. Don’t Skip the Small Stuff
Minor elements make a big impact on function:
- Outlets, switches, and thermostats – measure placement
- These details help avoid blocking important utilities
Labeling Measurements for your Designer
Clear notes help our team turn your measurements into beautiful, functional spaces.
Use Feet-Inches or Inches—Not Both
Either is great, just stay consistent:
How to Label the Walls in Your Room
Skip north/south confusion. Use this consistent method:
Start at the Entry:
Stand in the main doorway facing into the room. This is Wall A.
Label Clockwise:
- Wall A – The wall with the entry door
- Wall B – Wall to the right
- Wall C – Opposite Wall A
- Wall D – Wall to the left
Example Notes:
- Wall A (entry door) – 12’4”, 9’0” ceilings
- Wall B (windows) – 10’2”, window is 6’0” wide, 2’6” from floor
- Wall C (TV wall) – 11’0”, no obstructions
- Wall D – 10’5”, open to kitchen
What to Include in Your Notes:
You don’t need a sketch—just include:
- Window sizes and placements
- Doorways to other rooms
- Built-ins, radiators, or anything permanent
- Furniture that’s staying
Add quick notes if something’s unusual:
- "Radiator sticks out 6” from Wall B”
- “Ceilings slope slightly above the windows”
- “Crown molding is 4” deep”
