A step-by-step guide to measuring your room, doorways and stairs before ordering a sofa.

Room footprint
Mark the sofa outline on the floor with tape and live with it for a day.
The delivery route
Measure every doorway, hallway and stair turn on the way to the room. The diagonal depth matters most.
Ceiling and banisters
On stairs, measure headroom and check banisters or radiators that narrow the route.
