The simple guide to measuring a corner sofa

Before you start (2 minutes)

Paper, a tape measure, a pencil. Note the doors, radiators, and sockets. That is it.

Step 1: Choose your side

Look at the sofa from the front. The part that extends (the chaise) tells you: on your left means a left corner, on your right means a right corner.

Step 2: Measure your space

• Wall 1 length: ____ cm
• Wall 2 length: ____ cm
• Leave a 10 cm gap from the wall.
• Note any obstacles (door, radiator, column).

Step 3: Check the sofa size

• Long part (the back): ____ cm
• Side, the chaise: ____ cm
• Depth: ____ cm · Height: ____ cm

Step 4: Comfortable clearances

• Sofa to coffee table: 35 to 45 cm
• Walkway to pass through: 80 cm or more

Step 5: Will it get into the house?

Measure the doors, the stairs, and the lift (width by height). If it is tight, ask us about a modular option or removable legs and arms.

Quick size guide

• Small living room: up to 250 to 260 cm
