Furniture Measuring Guide & Table Fitting Guide for Mayze Interiors
When selecting furniture, especially tables, it's crucial to ensure that your new piece fits perfectly within your space. This guide will provide detailed instructions on measuring your area, selecting the right table size, and utilizing our previous product descriptions as sizing references.
1. Measuring Your Space
Step 1: Gather Your Tools
- Measuring tape (preferably 25 ft or longer)
- Notepad and pen or a digital device for notes
- Level (optional, but useful for ensuring accuracy)
Step 2: Clear the Area
- Remove any obstacles in the area where you plan to place the table. This ensures accurate measurements and gives you a clear view of the space.
Step 3: Measure the Length and Width
-
Measure the length and width of the area where you plan to place the table. Record these dimensions in inches or centimeters.
Tip: Consider the room's overall dimensions, including doors, windows, and any existing furniture that could impact placement.
Step 4: Measure the Height
- Depending on your intended use (dining, coffee, etc.), measure the height of the area as well. Standard dining tables are typically between 28-30 inches (71-76 cm) high, while coffee tables range from 15-18 inches (38-46 cm) in height.
2. Selecting the Right Table Size
When choosing a table, refer to the following sizing guidelines based on our previous product descriptions:
-
Coffee Tables:
- Standard dimensions are around 36" to 60" in diameter for round tables, with a height of about 15" (38 cm).
- Example: The Dardanus Round Travertine Coffee Table is available in sizes of 36" and 48" in diameter and 14" in height. Ensure that the table's size fits comfortably within your seating area.
-
Dining Tables:
- Dining tables vary significantly, typically between 60" to 120" in length and 36" to 48" in width.
- Example: The Agathi Travertine Dining Table comes in sizes of 2000 x 1000 x 760 mm and 2400 x 1050 x 760 mm, suitable for medium to large dining spaces.
-
Side Tables:
- Standard side tables range from 20" to 30" in height and 18" to 24" in diameter.
- Example: The Balasi Side Table is 60 cm x 60 cm x 30 cm (24" x 24" x 12") in height, perfect for placing next to sofas or chairs.
3. Table Fitting Considerations
Step 1: Allow for Space Around the Table
- Leave at least 36 inches (91 cm) of clearance around the table for movement and chair placement. This is crucial for dining tables, where chairs need to be pulled out comfortably.
Step 2: Check for Visual Balance
- Ensure the table size is proportionate to the surrounding furniture. A large dining table can overwhelm a small room, while a tiny coffee table can get lost in a spacious living area.
Step 3: Consider Table Height
- The height of the table should be comfortable relative to the seating it will be paired with. For instance, dining chairs typically have a seat height of 18"-20" (46-51 cm) to pair with dining tables.
4. Visual Reference Instructions
Creating a Diagram:
- Use a piece of graph paper or a digital tool to sketch your room. Mark the dimensions of existing furniture and outline where the new table will fit.
Using Photographs:
- Take photos of your room from different angles. Mark potential table placements on the photos using software or printed overlays. This visual aid can help you visualize how the new table will fit.
Sample Diagrams:
- Include simple diagrams showing examples of how to arrange tables with adequate space around them.
