Will the HOMRELEXA 200cm L-Shaped Sofa with Storage Ottoman fit? How to measure your room and doorways
Measure the space first
Mark out the footprint on the floor with masking tape before you order; the listed width is 200cm. Leave at least 60cm in front for walking and a few centimetres at each end so it does not look jammed in.
Then measure the way in
Most sofa returns are not because of the room, but because the sofa could not get to it. Measure the front door, the narrowest hallway and every stair turn, and compare with the listed dimensions.
Think about height and depth
A seat depth of 46cm means a more upright, easy-to-stand-up-from seat. Also check the back height against windowsills and shelves so the sofa does not block light or clash with a radiator.
A quick checklist
Tape the footprint, measure the route, check the radiator and socket positions, and keep the delivery date clear so someone can be home to help carry.
