How to Prepare Your Room for Flatpack Furniture Installation

You've ordered your new flatpack furniture, exciting times ahead! Before your professional assembler from BJD Flatpack Assembly arrives, a little preparation can go a long way. Whether you're in Portsmouth, Southampton, or anywhere across Hampshire and West Sussex, these simple steps will help ensure a smooth, efficient, and stress-free installation.

✅ 1. Clear the Space

This is the most important step. Your assembler will need room to unpack, sort, and assemble the furniture. Remove any existing furniture, rugs, or decorative items from the area.

Tip: If it’s a bedroom, clear the bed and surrounding furniture. For dining tables, make sure the dining area is fully accessible.

💡 2. Ensure Good Lighting

Good lighting helps your assembler see instructions and components clearly. Open blinds or curtains and check that overhead lights are working.

Tip: If the room is dim, consider setting up a lamp or task light.

🚪 3. Clear a Path

Make sure there’s a clear route from your front door to the assembly area. This helps us move boxes and tools without delay.

Tip: Move shoes, bags, or small furniture out of the way.

🧱 5. Think About Wall Mounting (If Needed)

Some furniture, like tall wardrobes or bookshelves, will need to be secured to the wall to ensure they are safe. If you know where your wall studs are, marking them can help, but don’t worry, our team can locate them too.

Tip: Let your assembler know your preferred placement when they arrive.

📦 6. Have Instructions and Parts Ready

While our pros rarely need the manual, having it handy, along with all parts, can speed things up, especially for unique or unfamiliar items.

Tip: Keep all boxes and packaging in the designated assembly space.

By following these simple steps, you’ll help us do what we do best—assemble your furniture quickly, safely, and correctly.
