You can, but the maths is against you: a fireplace mantel pushes the screen centre to 150 cm or higher, while seated eye level is around 100–110 cm. Keep 30 cm from the...
Solid hardwood lasts 30–50 years, veneered plywood 10–15, MDF 7–10. Refinish every 8–10 years and the top outlives the joints, which is where tables actually fail.
Put the front 15–20 cm of the sofa on the rug. A 200 × 140 cm rug suits a two-seater; a three-seater with a coffee table wants 250 × 350 cm if the rug goes fully underneath.
Expect 60–80 kg on a solid wood table, 30–40 kg on MDF, 25–40 kg on glass. Point loads cut those numbers roughly in half, which is why a 70 kg adult should never sit...
Yes, provided the closet is at least 60 cm deep and you leave 45 cm of clear floor in front of the drawers. Below 55 cm of depth the drawer fronts foul the...
Hang the clock's centre at 150–160 cm — standing eye level. Above a doorway leave 15 cm; above a sofa 20–25 cm. Diameter should be about wall width divided by four.
A rectangular table for six needs 180 × 90 cm; a round one needs 120 cm diameter. Allow 60 cm of edge per person and 90–100 cm of floor behind each chair.
45–50 cm is the distance that lets you sit, reach a mug and still walk past. Under 35 cm is a shin trap, over 60 cm means everyone leans forward like they are...
Plan on five to six drawers per adult and six to eight for a couple. Anything under 40 cm of internal drawer depth will not hold a folded jumper, and drawers...
A box spring is only needed under an innerspring mattress or wherever the warranty demands one. Foam, latex and most hybrids want a flat slatted base instead, and a box...
