How to measure correctly

If you want to get precise measurement possible, you should take the measurement at different points. You can then use the smallest value for further planning. If the furniture is to be placed against a wall, please also remember to draw in sockets, light switches or a skirting board if necessary. If you have any questions about measuring or the measuring service, please feel free to contact us at any time.

Frequently asked questions

1. Which tools do I need?

The classic method is, of course, a tape measure or folding rule. Alternatively, you can also take measurements with a standard laser measuring device. We also recommend using our sketch template. There you will find all the important measurements at a glance. You are welcome to send us this sketch and we will implement your planning.

2. Can I also plan built-in wardrobes in an old building?

Our custom-made built-in wardrobes can also be planned in an old building. However, you should measure particularly precisely and in different places. You can also check the floor and walls with a spirit level.
