Measuring your sofa is seriously important. There are so many instances when sofas get delivered and can't fit through the front door, so we urge you to measure absolutely everything.
Firstly, always measure the length and width of your room. A standard size sofa is around 90 inches wide, while a small sofa can be as small as 70 inches.
Measure space between walls, doors and plot out your sofa's route to its new home. Look out for dado rails and shelves that might obstruct your sofa's passage. ‘If you’re going large, use masking tape to measure,’ advises Samuel Pye, creative manager at interior studio, Echlin.
‘With smaller sofas and rooms, just make sure you have enough space to get everyone sat down,' advises Samuel. 'Usually even in small spaces, it's important and possible to have a conversational set up with an armchair across the room so that all your seating is not in one piece of furniture, with everyone sitting in a line.'
