How to Measure Your Space for a Custom Marble Table

Ordering a custom marble table is an exciting way to bring timeless luxury into your home. But before production begins, getting the right measurements is key to ensuring your new piece fits perfectly into your space — both visually and functionally.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you measure accurately for your custom marble table:

1. Measure the Room Size

Start by measuring the full length and width of the room where the table will be placed. Be sure to account for architectural features like columns, wall trims, built-ins, or windows that may impact placement.

💡 Tip: Use painter’s tape to outline the table footprint on your floor for a better visual sense.

2. Determine the Ideal Table Size

Depending on the purpose — dining, coffee, or console — standard guidelines apply:

• Dining Table: Leave at least 36" (91 cm) of clearance on all sides for comfortable movement.

• Coffee Table: Ideal length is about 2/3 the length of your sofa, with 16-18" (40-45 cm) distance between sofa and table.

• Console Table: Typically placed against a wall, allow enough space for foot traffic if near an entryway.

3. Measure Doorways, Elevators & Stairs

A common mistake is forgetting the access path. Always measure:

• Door widths (including entry door to your home)

• Staircases (height clearance & turning angles)

• Elevator dimensions (if applicable)

📏 If delivery access is tight, we may offer your marble table in separate components for easier handling.

4. Consider Seating and Movement Space

If you’re measuring for a dining table, factor in:

• Chair depth (allow 18–24" / 46–60 cm for chairs plus movement)

• Space between walls or other furniture

• Whether you’ll host large gatherings or intimate dinners

5. Think About Proportions & Flow

A beautifully crafted marble table deserves room to shine. Avoid overcrowding. Think about:

• Sightlines and symmetry in the room

• The visual weight of the base (chunky bases need more open space)

• Harmony with nearby furniture

6. Take Photos or a Floor Plan (Optional, but helpful)
