Bücherregal ausmessen
Wall space, shelf depth, ceiling height, doorway clearance, bookshelf measurements that prevent a return trip to IKEA.
Bookshelves come in fixed dimensions, IKEA Billy is 80 cm wide × 28 cm deep × 202 cm tall, for example. Your job is to make sure those dimensions fit your space, your books, and your doorway.
Warum messen
- Wall space fit
- Doorway clearance for delivery
- Floor flatness (for tall shelves)
- Adjacent furniture clearance
Was du brauchst
- iPhone with Ruler AR
- Length and Height modes
Schritt für Schritt
- Wall width available. Tap left obstacle (wall, other furniture, door frame) to right. This is your max shelf width.
- Ceiling height. Floor to ceiling. Tall bookshelves (200+ cm) need to clear when tilted into position, subtract about 2 cm of tilt clearance.
- Depth (toward room). Distance from wall to nearest obstacle (sofa, coffee table, walking path). Most shelves 28-40 cm deep.
- Doorway for delivery. Many bookshelves ship in one piece. Compare shipping box dimensions to your front door, hallway, room door.
Tipps
- Floor must be level, wedges or shims fix small slope
- Anchor tall shelves to the wall, earthquake/child safety
Häufige Fehler
- Forgetting ceiling tilt clearance, bookshelf doesn't stand up
- Buying too-deep shelves for narrow rooms
