Opening your page
Record your space before planning furniture. Work through dimensions, obstacles and installation conditions, keeping every measurement and photograph.
Print this page or save it as a PDF, fill it in at home, then start designing.
Measure the clear width between finished wall surfaces at the top, middle and bottom. Record all three values, the smallest available width and any projecting skirting boards. Keep room measurements separate from furniture dimensions; fitting clearances need confirmation.
Measure floor-to-ceiling height at the left, center and right. Record all three values and the smallest available height. Keep room measurements separate from furniture dimensions; installation clearances need review.
Measure from the back wall to the intended front edge at floor level and again at waist height. Record the available depth and the space needed to open doors and drawers. The final furniture depth needs confirmation.
Note the position of every electrical socket, light switch or data outlet near the furniture. Measure from the floor and nearest wall to its center. Any changes to these fittings or the furniture layout need confirmation.
Record visible pipes and ventilation ducts, including their size and position. Add photographs and notes to your inquiry so a suitable arrangement can be reviewed; the online design does not confirm cut-outs or service relocation.
Measure the width, height and projection of beams or pillars. Record their position relative to the walls and include these notes in your inquiry.
Measure the height and projection of skirting boards and note any ceiling mouldings. How the furniture fits around these features needs confirmation before installation.
Walls and floors may not be square or level. Record any variation and leave final fitting allowances to the design and installation review. The preview cannot verify your room measurements.
Note ventilation openings, damp areas and nearby heat sources. Suitable clearances depend on the room and furniture and must be confirmed before production.
Check the complete path of opening doors and drawers, including handles. Record nearby walls, room doors and other furniture. The online illustration cannot confirm opening clearances in your home.
Furniture positioned independently in front of a wall. Measure its available space and discuss anchoring and installation requirements with the supplier or installer. Freestanding does not mean anti-tip anchoring is unnecessary.
Furniture planned for a recess or between walls. Measure width, height and depth at several points, recording every value and the smallest available space. Furniture dimensions, fixing methods and fitting allowances need confirmation for the actual site.
Measure floor-to-ceiling height at several points and record any differences. The final furniture height, top clearance and finishing details need confirmation for the actual space.
Record the wall type, intended position and nearby fittings. Load capacity and fixing methods need confirmation based on both the wall and the furniture; dimensions alone do not confirm suitability.
Record the width at several points and any unevenness. Furniture dimensions, fillers and fitting allowances need confirmation for the actual space.
Record the window position, dimensions and opening clearance. Furniture dimensions and layouts around the window need further confirmation.
Enter dimensions in whole millimeters (mm). Confirm each change and check the updated design.
Record room measurements separately from the furniture's overall dimensions. Board thickness affects usable interior space; final construction and storage dimensions need confirmation.
If a measurement is wrong, measure again and update the design. The online preview cannot verify your room; final dimensions need to be checked again.
