TIPS ON MEASURING YOUR SPACE FOR E-DESIGN OR PURCHASING FURNITURE.
DRAWING YOUR FLOOR PLAN
Understanding the footprint and the ceiling details of a room essential to designing your space effectively. Noting existing elements such as light fixtures, vents, electrical outlets, windows, and doors helps your designer know how to most effectively and efficiently design your space.
CAPTURE IMPORTANT DETAILS IN AN “ELEVATION” STYLE DRAWING
An elevation drawing in interior design helps to capture vertical measurements of a room and understand important architectural elements that will guide your design.
This helps your designer to plan where you will be adding finishes and fixtures and understand the overall space better. Noting details such as existing moulding measurements, window height, depth, and baseboard measurements help your designer understand more about where to place fixtures, window treatments, and how to chose other items for the room.
MEASURE ENTRANCES AND ACCESS POINTS BEFORE YOU BUY
Plan ahead! Make sure you measure the areas in your home to make sure any items will fit. Buying specialty items means they may not be returnable, so measuring the spaces they must fit through is incredibly important.
