How to Measure Your Room Before Buying Furniture in Bangalore

How to Measure Your Room Before Ordering Furniture in Bangalore

The single biggest source of post-delivery regret: "I didn't realise it would be this big." This guide eliminates that.

Tools You Need

  • A tape measure (5m is sufficient for most apartments)
  • A pen and notebook, or a floor plan app (MagicPlan, RoomSketcher work well)

Step 1: Measure the Room

Measure length and width at the widest points. Also note:

  • Door swing arcs - a 90cm door swings 90cm into the room
  • Window sill heights - sofas placed under windows need to clear the sill
  • Power socket positions - relevant for TV units and study desks

Step 2: Mark Out Circulation Space

Furniture placement needs these minimum clearances:

  • Sofa to TV unit: 150–180cm (comfortable viewing distance for a 55" TV)
  • Around dining table: 90cm minimum on all sides
  • Beside bed: 60–75cm minimum for one side

Step 3: Use Masking Tape to Simulate Furniture

Before ordering, use masking tape on your floor to mark out the furniture footprint. Walk through it. Sit in a chair positioned at the sofa location. This takes 10 minutes and prevents weeks of regret.

Step 4: Share Dimensions When Ordering Custom

When you contact us for a custom furniture consultation, share:

  1. Room photos from each corner
  2. A rough sketch with dimensions
  3. Door/window positions

We'll send a designer to take a full measurement before production begins.
