    Furnishing the Basement

    You've found it. The perfect sofa or sectional for the basement! It's the perfect fabric, the right colour, comfortable and the right price! BUT... Will it fit? Basements can sometimes be tricky to furnish since stairways can be narrow and steep. Don't be discouraged; there are a few methods and tricks to use, so hopefully you can find out if your sofa will fit before you leave the store! First things first: using a measuring tape, find the dimensions of the tightest space you need to navigate to get to the basement. If you have multiple entrances to the basement, like an exterior door, measure that too - it might be a little wider or easier to get through. Now, armed with those dimensions, visit the store. Find the dimensions of the sofa. You need to know the height from the floor to the highest point on the back, the depth from front to back as well as it's length from one arm to the other.
