How to Prepare Your Space for a Flatpack Furniture Installation

So, you’ve just bought that shiny new wardrobe, TV unit, or office desk — now it’s time to make sure your space is ready for the flatpack furniture installation. Whether you’re building it yourself or booking a pro (like us at Home Flat Pack), a little preparation can save a lot of headaches!

Here’s how to get your home “flatpack-ready” in five simple steps:

Clear the area – Give your new furniture room to breathe! Move any obstacles or clutter so there’s space to unpack and assemble safely.

Check the floor – A clean, flat surface makes assembly easier and protects your panels from scratches or damage.

 

Keep pets and kids clear – Tiny helpers are cute… until they run off with a crucial screw! Keep your workspace distraction-free.

Unpack and inspect – Before the build begins, lay out all parts and check for missing or damaged pieces. It saves time and stress later.

Have the right tools ready – Screwdrivers, Allen keys, and a bit of patience go a long way. (Or skip the stress and let our experts handle it!)

Why Preparation Matters

A well-prepared space means a smoother build, fewer delays, and a flawless finish. At Home Flat Pack, we handle everything — from flatpack assembly to furniture installation — quickly, safely, and professionally.
