How do I measure for a sofa to ensure a perfect fit?

Measuring for a new sofa is an important step in ensuring you get the perfect fit for your space. Before you begin, measure the room and determine what type of sofa you’d like to buy (e.g. armchair, loveseat, sectional, etc.). Then measure for the sofa itself.

To measure for a sofa, start by measuring the width of the room from wall to wall. This will give you an idea of what size of sofa will fit in the space. Next, measure the depth of the room from front to back. You’ll want to make sure your sofa is not too deep for your room so it’s not sticking out too far or blocking any doorways.

Then measure the height of the sofa. Make sure it’s high enough to clear any furniture or doorways but low enough that people can easily get in and out of it. The arm height should also be taken into account. If you’re going for a more contemporary look, choose a sofa with low arms as opposed to bulky arms that might overpower the room.

To ensure your new sofa fits perfectly, consider having a professional measure your space and provide you with furniture options that will fit perfectly into your existing space. The upholstery fabric can make all the difference when it comes to size, too. Choosing a print or texture can make a difference in how much fabric is used when upholstering a piece of furniture. Consider all these factors before making your final decision!
