Measure before buying
Measure the room, doorways, staircases and lifts before ordering. Allow space for movement around furniture: around 75 to 90 centimetres for walkways is comfortable. Check assembled and packaged dimensions.
Chairs and sofas
Choose seating by comfort, size and use. Office chairs should support the lower back and adjust in height. Sofas and chaise lounges should suit the room size and seating needs. Check fabric durability for homes with children and pets.
Tables
Dining tables should allow around 60 centimetres per person. Folding and extending tables save space. Desks should suit work equipment and posture.
Storage furniture
Cabinets, shelves, dressers, bookcases, TV cabinets and shoe racks keep homes organised. Trolley shelves add mobile storage for kitchens and bathrooms. Storage chairs and ottomans combine seating and storage.
Beds
Beds and folding beds should match mattress sizes, which vary by country. Folding beds suit guest rooms and small homes.
Massage tables
Portable massage tables suit therapists and beauty professionals. Check weight capacity, height adjustment and padding.
Safety
Anchor tall furniture, such as bookcases and dressers, to the wall to prevent tipping, especially in homes with children.
Assembly
Many items are flat-packed. Check whether tools are included and follow instructions carefully. Tighten screws again after a few weeks.
Materials
Solid wood is durable, engineered wood is affordable, metal is strong and plastic is light and weather-resistant for outdoor use.
Practical tips
- Measure spaces and access routes.
- Anchor tall furniture.
- Choose durable fabrics for busy homes.
- Consider multi-functional furniture for small spaces.
Well-chosen furniture makes homes more comfortable and practical.
