Measuring Guides

Designing your room starts with the measurements.

Read this quick guide to measuring before you start to make sure you include all the details we need. Use our graph paper to map out your space and bring it into your local showroom.

Alternatively, one of our surveyors will visit your home and take some measurements so that you can plan a room that fits perfectly into your home.

What to measure

These details will help you and your designer make a room that fits perfectly into your home.

Diagram 1 - the floor plan

Measure each individual wall, including window openings. Your space could be square, T-shaped or L shaped, as shown.

Mark on where all the windows and doors are as well as which way they open, noting whether they are external or internal doors.

Add in electrical sockets and any existing plumbing as well as fixed objects such as boilers, radiators, or boxed-in pipes.
