Things You'll Need:
- Measuring tape
- Chalk
- Chalk line
-
Step 1
Locate the exact center of each wall and make a mark at that center spot.
-
Step 2
Set up a chalk line running from the center spots of two facing walls, and snap it on the floor.
-
Step 3
Repeat Step 2 on the other two facing walls, to make a chalk line between their center spots. The exact center of the room will be marked by a point at which the two lines cross each other.
-
Step 4
Check for accuracy. From the center spot, measure 3 feet in along one of the chalk lines, and make a mark. Measure 4 feet from the center spot along the second chalk line and make another mark. Measure the distance across from the 3-foot mark to the 4-foot mark. When the two are measured from a true center, the distance between the two marks will be exactly 5 feet. If this is not the case, you will need to re-measure and re-chalk each wall to ensure a quality finish.
