You don’t need professional drawings or specialist tools — a tape measure and a quick sketch are perfect. The goal is to give us a clear understanding of your space so we can design accurately and confidently.
- A tape measure or laser
- Pen and paper (or tablet)
- Your phone to take photos/videos of the space
Draw a rough outline of the room shape from above (a floor-plan view).
This does not need to be to scale — a simple rectangle or shape is fine.
If the room isn’t perfectly square, sketch it as best you can.
Step 2: Measure Each Wall
Measure wall to wall and write the measurements directly onto your sketch.
- Measure each wall individually
- Write measurements in millimetres (mm) or centimetres (cm)
- If walls differ slightly, note the actual measurement for each wall
- Don't forget to include the widths of doors, windows and openings
Step 3: Measure Door + Window Heights
On your sketch, draw an arrow away from the plan connecting to each window and note the below:
- Window height
- Distance from floor to window sill
If you’re unsure, be approximate — we’ll sense-check everything during design.
Step 4: Ceiling Height
Measure from floor to ceiling at one point in the room and make note of the height.
- If the ceiling slopes or varies, note the lowest and highest points
- If you can’t measure, estimate and flag it as an estimate
Step 5: Fixed Elements to Note
Please mark or note with dimensions anything that can’t be moved, such as:
- Radiators
- Fireplaces
- Built-in wardrobes
- Structural columns or beams
- Fixed sockets or switches (approximate position is fine)
To help us understand proportions, light, and layout far better than measurements alone, please upload:
- Wide shots of each wall
- Close-ups of key details
- A slow video walking around the room (if possible)
