Furniture That Fits: The Essential Guide to Measuring Your Space Before You Buy

Dear Valued Customers,

As owners of Hometown Furniture of Mobile and Pascagoula, we understand that choosing the perfect piece of furniture for your home is an exciting experience, but it can also come with its challenges. One of the most common and easily avoidable disappointments we see is when furniture doesn’t quite fit the space as you imagined—whether it’s too big and overwhelms the room, or too small and leaves the space feeling empty. We’ve been in the furniture business for over 15 years, and during that time, we’ve learned that taking the time to measure your room and doorways is one of the most important steps in ensuring your furniture will fit, both physically and aesthetically.

Nothing is more frustrating than falling in love with a beautiful new sofa, only to find that it won’t fit through the door or into the space you had in mind. It’s also disappointing when a piece you thought would be the perfect size for your living room turns out to be too small, leaving your room feeling out of balance. These are the kinds of issues that can be easily avoided with a little preparation. That's why we always recommend our customers take careful measurements of their room, doorways, and hallways before making a purchase.

Having the correct measurements allows us to guide you in selecting furniture that will enhance the space, not hinder it. We’re here to help you make the best choices for your home, and our years of industry experience have taught us how to avoid these potential pitfalls before they happen. If you need assistance in measuring, or if you’re unsure whether a piece will fit, we encourage you to reach out to our team. We’re happy to work with you to ensure that your new furniture fits perfectly in your home, both in size and style.

Thank you for choosing Hometown Furniture. We’re committed to providing you with the best service, and we look forward to helping you find the perfect furniture for your space—without any surprises.

Warm regards,
Allen and Jeremy Kirksey
