How to Measure for an Artificial Tree
Measure for an Artificial Tree. Measure ceiling clearance, canopy width and delivery access before choosing an indoor artificial tree.
Start with the lowest point
Measure from the floor to the lowest light fitting, beam or fan in the intended spot. Check whether the listed height includes the planter. Measure the canopy at its widest point, then compare it with the space between nearby furniture and the wall.

Check the delivery route
Write down the clear width and height of the entrance, lift and any tight turns. Send the measurements and a photo to the seller if you are considering a tall or wide tree. Keep the original packaging until you confirm that the tree fits.
Before you decide
Before ordering, write down three figures together: usable height, maximum canopy width and the smallest opening along the delivery route. Ask which figure is most likely to vary between units.
Check the seller’s dimensions in both feet and centimetres if you are comparing listings. Take a second measurement at canopy height because the wall-to-furniture gap can be narrower higher up. If the tree sits on a rug, measure with the rug in place and test whether the base stands level. Photograph the proposed spot with the measuring tape visible so the supplier can see what you measured.
