Household & decor

Check the footprint and appearance together

1. Measure the space: Record the width, depth and height of the available area. Doors, windows and walkways must remain usable.
2. Decide on the viewing angle: Consider the direction from which the item will mainly be seen and whether both front and back will be visible.
3. Compare proportions: Do not confuse external dimensions with usable internal space. For containers, also check the insert and drainage arrangement of the specific version.
4. Plan for care: Check the surface and manufacturer's instructions against the intended location and regular cleaning routine.

Example: a container on a narrow windowsill

Measure not only the length of the windowsill, but also its depth and the clearance to the opening window. A wide container may look right yet still obstruct the window. Then compare external dimensions, footprint and, where relevant, the planting space needed under Flower pots and planters.
