Graph Paper

Measuring a room (of course for me) the least interesting and challenging part of the creation of a system. However, it is inevitable - just imagine that you are a sofa and they will not fit through your door! After precise measurements is also of vital importance to develop a plan, you need to "test" the system. They have a few things in hand, in order to simplify the measurement. I use a tape measure 30m , which cost as little as about � 5 discount stores, 20 � or from a DIY shop. Evidently, it is also a smaller band. I began with a 5m-band, probably the most adequate room although it is difficult, if a wall is longer than 5m and have two measurements to the full length. Do you have a pad of paper and a pen /pencil practically write the measurements. A second person is very useful for an end to the tape.

1) Draw a general overview of the room standing by the door and Havelock a look at the room. If the court room? Are there any cracks or corners? Is there a fireplace in the great room?

Draw a general overview of your piece of paper, large enough to leave 2cm around the edges, so that you can later add measurements. Also indicate where the door and window are.

2) Measure carefully fairs every wall in its entirety and note the measurements. Then, work on each wall individually.

Draw another breakdown of each wall to you (this is a so-called altitude). Drawing a height allows you to supplement the main drawing of the space with more detailed measurements of elements such as the height of the window from the floor.

All outlets, telephone and TV points have on your drawing. This is very important to understand how much space you actually have for furniture and where certain items should go. (I have seen people buy TV cabinets built, the only one place in space, which happens to be on the opposite side of the TV-point ...)

3) Draw up plan for the graph paper If you have all the measurements, some graph paper and your drawings. I tend to work with a ratio of 1:20, that is 1cm on the graph paper is equivalent to 20cm in reality.

Once you have registered, you can use some fun. Find some books and the measurements of furniture you like. You can also contact the manufacturer or their websites. Now cut paper size and shape at the start put them on your schedule. You will quickly find out what is good and what could fit where.

The next article will show you how to use color and pattern, so that your system can also visualize better.
