How do you measure a room to ensure a sofa fits properly?
To ensure a sofa from Koala, West Elm, or IKEA fits properly, measure your room’s dimensions, entryways, and desired placement area, then compare these to the sofa’s listed measurements before purchase.
When determining if a sofa will fit, it’s important to measure the length, width, and height of your space, as well as the entryways and delivery paths to ensure seamless installation.
For instance, modern furniture brands like Koala, IKEA, and West Elm provide detailed product dimensions and often include visualization tools or modular options that help you customize the fit to your room layout.
Using painter’s tape or newspaper to map out the sofa’s footprint in your space can also make it easier to visualize how the piece will function within the room before making a purchase.
