Why Accurate Measurement Matters 

Imagine you've just clicked 'purchase' on a gorgeous, plush armchair from an online homeware store, only to find it completely overwhelms your cosy reading nook. Frustrating, right? That's precisely the scenario we're here to help you avoid. Getting those measurements spot on is more than just ensuring physical fit; it's about creating that seamless aesthetic flow in your living space. It's the difference between a room that feels 'just right' and one a little 'off.’

At Maccawood Home & Garden, we want to ensure your shopping experience is perfect – no returns, no disappointments. So, let's get those measurements accurate and make your home that truly reflects your style.

Tools You'll Need

Before starting on this furniture fitting adventure, arm yourself with a trusty tape measure, a notepad, and perhaps a digital measuring tool for those high-tech enthusiasts. This arsenal of measuring gear is your first step towards a foolproof online furniture shopping experience. 

Remember, precision is your best friend in home decor. Whether it's a snug sofa or an elegant bookcase from our home goods furniture online collection, these tools will ensure they fit just as beautifully in your home as they do on our website.

Step-by-Step Measuring Guide

Start with a Blueprint

  • Begin by sketching a simple layout of your room, noting the placement of doors, windows, and any permanent fixtures. This visual blueprint is essential, serving as a clear guide and helping you visualise the final arrangement of your furniture.

Measure Room Dimensions

  • Carefully measure the length and width of your room at several points, as walls can sometimes be slightly uneven. This step ensures that you account for any unique characteristics of your room, providing a more accurate view of the available space.

Height Matters Too

  • Height is a vital dimension for taller pieces like bookcases or lamps. Measuring the height ensures these items fit comfortably in your room, enhancing the space rather than overwhelming it.

Navigating Doorways and Hallways

  • Measuring the width and height of your doorways and hallways is crucial. It ensures that any piece you order from our online furniture outlet can be smoothly and effortlessly brought into your home, avoiding any logistical headaches.

Plan for Movement in your space

  • When planning your space, it's crucial to remember that it's not just for furniture. Ensure enough room for comfortable movement and daily activities, creating a functional and welcoming environment.

Furniture-Specific Measurements

  • Each type of furniture demands specific measurements for an ideal fit. For example, when considering sofas, factor in the length, depth, and height, while for tables, focus on length, width, height, and chair clearance. Consider not just the frame of your bed but also the additional space needed for bedding and a walk-around room.

Visualise with Painter’s Tape

  • An effective way to see how your chosen furniture will fit into your space is to use painter’s tape to mark its dimensions on your floor. It can be incredibly helpful in ensuring that the furniture you select from our online homeware store will harmonise with your room's size and layout.

Armed with these detailed measurements, your journey through the virtual aisles of Maccawood Home & Garden becomes a walk in the park. Say goodbye to guesswork and hello to a home that's as functional as it is stylish.

Matching Furniture to Your Space 

With your space measured and mapped, the exciting part begins – choosing furniture that resonates with your style and fits like a dream. As you explore our online homeware store, imagine each piece in your newly measured space. Does it allow for movement? Does it complement the room's dimensions? These are the questions that will lead you to perfect choices. 

At Maccawood, we offer an array of options that cater to every taste and space, ensuring your home looks fantastic but feels right, too.

Expert Tips and Tricks

Beyond the basics, consider the height of your ceiling when selecting tall items and leave space for any doors or drawers to open comfortably. Think about the future. Allow flexibility for rearranging or adding new pieces. Have fun with it! Online furniture shopping at Maccawood Home & Garden is an adventure in making your space uniquely yours.
