Measuring

• How do I measure my room?

  Use your preferred measuring tool and get started with our measuring tips! Two great tools for simply taking accurate measurements are a standard tape measure and a laser measure. Always measure the depth, height and width in three places. Use the smallest value in centimetres.

  Always measure from wall to wall and from floor to ceiling. Our system automatically takes the necessary tolerance into account. If there are any obstacles, such as a window ledge, light fittings or radiators, tell us about these when you place your order so that we can look at the best solution together!

  Pro tip: After you’ve placed your order, we’ll send you a production drawing for you to confirm the measurements. Check these carefully before you give your final approval for your order. In this way you can be sure of getting the best result!

• How do I get the right measurements if my walls are not completely straight?

  It’s no problem at all if your walls are not completely straight! Measure from wall to wall in three places and take the smallest of the measurements. We’ll automatically allow for the tolerance.

  We will compensate for the slope in the wall using infill panels. These panels fit to the wall on the left and right sides. The infill panels have a width of 5 cm as standard, but we can adjust the sizes.

  We recommend two options:

  1. Order oversized infill panels (delivered at 7.8 cm wide) and cut them to size at home.

  2. Have the infill panels delivered in the exact size later (€79 inc. VAT). First install your cabinet or wardrobe and then measure the correct sizes for the infill panels. Once you have provided the measurements, the filler panels will be custom-made and delivered.

  Do you have a low cabinet with a top finish and have you opted for oversized infill panels? In that case, we’ll also supply the top of your low cabinet in a slightly larger size. This way, you can ensure everything fits perfectly into your space.

• How do I get the right measurements if my floor is not completely level?

  If your floor is not completely level, no need to worry. Your bespoke furniture comes on a pedestal with adjustable feet. You can adjust these feet to get your furniture 100% level.

  Measure the height in three places and write down the smallest measurement. Measure from floor to ceiling. We’ll help you by automatically allowing for the tolerance.
