Gather Your Tools

You likely have everything you need at home. Fifteen minutes and a steady hand are all this takes.

Tape Measure

A 25-foot metal tape is ideal. A laser measure works beautifully too, if you have one.

Type your measurements straight into the worksheet below as you go.

Your Phone

For photos of each wall — and of your paper sketch, if you draw one.

A Second Set of Hands

Optional, but holding the tape across a long wall is far easier with a helper.

Before You BeginMeasure in inches, to the nearest ¼ inch. Round measurements lead to furniture that almost fits — and almost is expensive.

Map the Room

Picture the room from above. Label each wall with a letter, moving clockwise from the main entry — Wall A is the entry wall. Every measurement you enter below will reference these letters, so we can read your sheet exactly as you intended.

Wall A is the entry wall; continue B, C, D clockwise. Keep this order as you fill in the worksheet.

How to Measure

Each wall, corner to corner. Run the tape along the baseboard for the truest line, and keep it taut and level.
Ceiling height, floor to ceiling, in at least two spots — older homes are rarely perfectly level. Note sloped or vaulted ceilings.
Doors, windows & openings: width and height trim to trim, the distance from the nearest corner to the edge of the trim, and the sill height for windows.
Fixed features — fireplaces, built-ins, radiators, vents, and anything else that can't move. Note the wall it sits on.
Furniture you're keeping: width, depth, and height. For sofas and chairs, add seat height and arm height.
Photos: one straight-on shot of each wall, one from each corner, and close-ups of anything notable. Daytime, lights on, blinds open.

Measure TwiceTake each measurement twice — if the numbers disagree, measure a third time. Enter measurements as feet and inches (9' 4½") or total inches (112.5") — whichever you prefer, just stay consistent.

The Worksheet

Fill this in as you measure. When you're done, we'll turn it into a clean measurement sheet you can print or save as a PDF — one room at a time.

Your Floor Plan

Draw the room right here — or sketch it on paper, snap a photo, and upload it. It doesn't need to be pretty; it needs to show the shape of the room, walls A–D, and where doors, windows, and fixed features sit.

Draw with your mouse or finger. Start with the room outline, then add door openings, windows, and anything fixed. Label the walls A–D if you can — the grid will help you keep lines straight-ish. Perfection not required.

Add a photo of your sketch
