How It Works
Set Your Room Dimensions
Enter the width and length of your room in feet. The canvas rescales automatically so everything is drawn to accurate proportions.
Pick a Room Template
Choose Living Room, Bedroom, Home Office, or Dining Room to pre-load a starter layout — or start with a blank room.
Add Furniture From the Library
Click any item in the Furniture Library. Each piece uses real industry-standard dimensions (sofa 84"×36", queen bed 60"×80", etc.). You can also add your own custom furniture — it's saved in your browser for next time.
Drag, Rotate, and Arrange
Drag pieces anywhere inside the room. Click a piece to select it, then rotate or delete using the action buttons.
Validate Traffic Flow
Press "Validate Traffic Flow" to check spacing against interior design standards and get warnings about tight walkways.
Key Facts About Room Layout & Space Planning
- Main traffic paths through a room should be 30–36 inches (76–91 cm) wide for comfortable walking.
- The gap between a sofa and coffee table should be 14–18 inches — close enough to reach, wide enough to walk past.
- A queen-size mattress measures 60" × 80" and requires at least 24" of clearance on each accessible side.
- TVs should be placed 1.5–2.5× the diagonal screen size away from the primary seating.
- Dining chairs need 36" behind them to pull out comfortably.
- A desk in a home office needs 42"+ behind it for the chair to roll back.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much clearance should I leave around furniture?
Leave at least 30–36 inches (76–91 cm) of clearance for main traffic paths and 18 inches (45 cm) between a sofa and coffee table. Proper clearance is a core principle of interior design & home furnishing.
What is the ideal distance between a TV and a sofa?
The recommended viewing distance is 1.5 to 2.5 times the diagonal screen size. For a 55-inch TV, place the sofa 7 to 11 feet away.
How do I arrange furniture in a small living room?
Place the largest piece first, usually the sofa, against the longest wall. Use multi-functional furniture, float pieces away from walls when possible, and keep traffic lanes at least 30 inches wide.
What is the standard size of a queen bed?
A standard queen mattress measures 60 inches wide by 80 inches long (152 × 203 cm). Allow at least 24 inches of walking space on each side.
How do I measure a room for furniture?
Measure the length and width of the room at floor level, note doorways, windows, and outlets. Record ceiling height and sketch the layout to scale using a tool like Fillaroom's Furniture Space Planner.
Can I save my own custom furniture?
Yes. Use the "+ Add Custom Furniture" button in the Furniture Library to enter a name, width, and depth in inches. Your custom pieces are saved to a cookie in your browser so they'll still be there when you return.
