Furniture Layout Planner

Set the room size, add furniture — preset sizes or your own measurements — and drag it around a to-scale floor plan. Add more rooms to plan the whole house in one link. It warns you when a walkway gets too tight or a piece doesn't fit — before you buy or move anything.

Drag pieces to move them

Grid squares are 1 ft. Aim for 36" along main walkways and at least 24" between pieces you walk past; a coffee table sits 14"–18" from the sofa.

Shopping list

✓Living room — Sofa: 84" x 36"
✓Living room — Coffee table: 48" x 24"
✓Living room — Armchair: 32" x 34"
✓Living room — TV stand: 60" x 18"

Measure your own pieces — preset sizes are typical. Check doorways and stairs too: a sofa has to get into the room before it can fit in it.

How much space do you need around furniture?

Main walkways: about 36" — enough for one person to pass easily.
Between pieces you walk past: at least 24".
Sofa to coffee table: 14"–18", close enough to reach a drink and far enough for knees.
Around a bed: 24"–30" on the sides you get in from, and in front of a dresser so the drawers open.
Behind dining chairs: 36" from the table edge to a wall, so a chair can pull out.

Measure the path in, too

A sofa has to get through the front door, the hallway and around corners before it can fit in the room. Measure the narrowest opening and compare it with the piece's depth and diagonal.

How to use the plan

Measure the room wall to wall, then measure your own furniture — sizes in the list are typical, not exact. Drag pieces into place; anything that overlaps or sticks out turns clay, and tight gaps are listed above the plan. The grid squares are one foot.
