(PRWEB) -- How many of us have bought a room full of furniture and only on delivery day find that it doesn’t fit! Add re-stocking and re-ordering fees to the nightmare and you know why the echoing cry in every furniture store is, "I wonder if it will fit?"

Two entrepreneuring women, founders of Design Yourself Interiors, Inc., have created and copyrighted a product that takes the intimidation factor out of furniture purchasing. DYI™ Life Sized Furniture Templates were created after Kathy Wagner and Melody Davidson, both interior designers, saw a market need and decided to capitalize on the soaring renovation and home design scene.

Don’t think "templates" means you’re going to make furniture - this clever product consists of pre-printed craft paper template kits that make it easy to "place" furniture and determine its appropriate size and best location and allow shoppers to arrange furniture in their rooms before they ever venture to the store.

A very user-friendly alternative to traditional ¼-inch scale drawings, this space planning tool allows you to be your own designer. Lay people and Designers alike across the country are laying out these sturdy brown paper "footprints" on their floors in order to fit sofas with coffee tables, and accent chairs, or dining tables, chairs and china cabinets, as well as king size beds with night stands and armoires.

Kathy Wagner, one of the product’s original developers explains, "The great advantage is the templates are 'life size' that you can touch them, feel them walk around them, put them on an angle to picture what the room will actually look like." Melody Davidson, co-owner of DYI™ and a Kansas City interior designer herself, adds, "It also helps spouses and other family members understand what you’re trying to achieve. And you can determine whether or not something will fit through a door or up the stairs, avoiding a lot of disappointment when you get it wrong!."

Both Kathy and Melody agree that they have received a lot of attention and support from both consumers and the trade with other designers calling to thank them for saving them money.

"The templates kept me from ordering the wrong furniture for a client’s new home," said Tammy Henderson, a Grain Valley, Missouri Design Consultant. One of the first people to purchase the new product after its launch last October, Tammy took the kits and tested her design plan for a current client. In a very short time she realized her original plan was not going to work. The templates allowed her to adjust her plan and determine just the right fit for the homeowner. She is sold on the concept.

There are several kits to choose from: Living Room, Dining Room, Family Room and Bedroom are the foundation of the collection with new kits and other design related products in the works. Patents are pending.

The kits sell for an affordable $39.99 each or $149.99 for a set of four and are available on line at http://www.designyourselfinteriors.com or on eBay at http://stores.ebay.com/DYI-Inc
