How To Measure a Coffee Table
Measuring a coffee table is an easy task and can be done with minimal tools. Whether you’re planning a DIY project or just need to figure out the dimensions of your living room, here’s how you can measure the perfect coffee table for your home.
Tools Required:
- Measuring Tape
- Pen & Paper
Step 1: Measure the Length and Width
Measure the length and width of the coffee table in inches with a measuring tape. Generally, a coffee table is between 18 and 24 inches in length and width. Don’t worry too much, as the measurements need not be perfect.
Step 2: Measure the Height
To measure the height of the coffee table, use a flexible measuring tape that can reach and stick to the highest point of the table. This could be the top surface, the highest part of a decorative edge, or the highest point of a leg. Jot down the measurement and you’re all set.
Step 3: Optional Measurements
If you want to get even more precise measurements, the circumference of the top surface and the angle of the legs or edges can be measured as well. This may be necessary if you plan to buy a table that’s custom fitted for your home.
Final Thoughts
Measuring your coffee table is relatively simple and does not require any special expertise. All you need is a measuring tape and you will be able to determine the dimensions of your coffee table with ease. With the right measurements you can be sure that the coffee table you buy will fit the room perfectly.
