- How to Measure Your Living Room for Proportional Fit
- 1. Wall Width Measure the wall where the bookcase will sit. Leave 10–15 cm clearance on each side for breathing room and styling flexibility.
- 2. Ceiling Height For tall bookcases, ensure the unit sits at least 20–30 cm below the ceiling to avoid visual crowding and allow for top-shelf styling.
- 3. Depth & Flow Allow 60–90 cm of walking space in front of the bookcase, especially if placed near seating or doorways.
- 4. Visual Mockup Use masking tape or cardboard to outline the bookcase’s footprint on your wall and floor. This gives a real-world sense of scale and helps avoid surprises.
- 5. Styling Considerations If pairing with other oak pieces (like sideboards or cube units), align heights and spacing to create a cohesive rhythm across the room.
