Tips to make sure your furniture will fit

How to Calculate if Your Sofa Will Fit Through the Door

1. Measure narrowest doorway where the sofa will pass through and ceiling height for maneuvering large sofas. 

The best way to calculate whether or not your sofa will fit through your door is to measure the door - along with the hallway and any stairs or lift you may need to navigate - and then check these measurements against the height and width of your sofa. Once you have the sofa dimensions and the measurements of the room, all that’s left to do is place the sofa in the already measured spot and adjust it to your liking.

• Furniture Dimensions: Know the exact dimensions of the furniture, including height, width, depth, and diagonal measurements. This helps in determining if the piece can be maneuvered through doorways, stairwells, and hallways.
• Doorways and Hallways: Measure the height and width of all doorways, hallways, and entryways the furniture will pass through. Don’t forget to account for door frames, moldings, and other architectural features.
• Stairwells and Landings: Measure the width, height, and depth of stairwells and landings. Consider the turning radius and any handrails or fixtures that could obstruct the movement of the furniture.
• LIft Size: If you live in a building with a lift measure the lift’s door width, interior dimensions, and ceiling height. Make sure the furniture will fit inside, both horizontally and vertically.

2. Consider the Pathway

• Clearances: Ensure there’s enough clearance around corners, in hallways, and through doorways to maneuver the furniture. Angled or curved pathways may require additional clearance.
• Obstructions: Check for potential obstacles like light fixtures, ceiling fans, or narrow doorways that could make it difficult to move the furniture. Plan to remove or temporarily adjust these if necessary.
