Room Layout Planner

Sketch your room to scale, place furniture with real measurements, and rearrange it until the layout works — all in your browser.

Quick answer

Draw your room to scale in centimetres or feet and inches, drop in furniture with real measurements, and drag pieces around until the layout works — free, in your browser, with no sign-up. Start from a rectangle or trace L-shapes and alcoves corner by corner.

Test furniture layouts before you move anything heavy

People rearrange rooms constantly — moving in, making space for a desk or a cot, or plain restlessness — and the physical trial-and-error is the worst part of it. A room layout planner moves the sweat into the browser: draw the room once at its real size, then push a to-scale sofa around a to-scale floor plan until the arrangement actually works. Because every piece carries true measurements, “it looks like it fits” becomes “it fits with 62 cm to walk through”.

This is a furniture layout tool rather than an interior-design suite. There is no 3D walkthrough, no render queue and no style advice — just an accurate plan view, real sizes, and pieces you can shove around until something clicks.

Draw the room you actually have

Rectangle quick-start handles simple rooms. Everything else gets drawn corner by corner: L-shapes, alcoves, chimney breasts, that one diagonal wall. Corners lock to right angles as you draw unless you pull them away, and every wall shows its live length so the plan stays honest while you build it.

Two behaviours are worth knowing before you start. Edges snap flush when they come within a few pixels — of a wall or of another piece — which is what makes a sofa sit properly against a wall instead of almost against it; turn snapping off in the toolbar for free placement. And fixtures — radiators, built-in wardrobes, kitchen runs — are placed once and locked so that layout experiments cannot disturb them. Unlock any fixture if you do want to move it.

Real measurements, not vibes

Measure wall to wall at floor level, note which way each door opens, and measure your actual furniture rather than trusting product-page numbers — those routinely omit arms, cushions and the feet. A sofa listed at 200 cm is often 214 cm across the arms, and that difference is exactly the kind that ruins a plan.

The library carries standard sizes for 36 pieces — every number in the table below is the same data the library places — including 6 bed sizes. A person-sized figure and a wheelchair turning circle are in there too, to keep human scale in the plan rather than only furniture. Units switch between cm/m and feet/inches at any time without re-entering anything.

Will it fit — and can you still walk around it?

Pieces get a red outline when they overlap each other or stick out of the room, so a layout that cannot physically exist announces itself. For the gaps that matter, the measure tool reads the distance between any two points — a doorway and the sofa, two chairs, the path from the door to the window — and the clearance table below says what those gaps should be. The most common failures are a main walkway under 90 cm and a dining chair with nowhere to pull out.

For the classic “will my couch fit through the door” question, the measure tool is only half the answer: the door opening is rarely what fails. The turn in the hallway is. Measure the path, not just the doorway.

Private by design

The room you draw and every object you place stay in your browser — layouts save locally, keep working offline after the page has loaded, and leave your device only as a JSON or PNG file you download yourself. No account, no upload, no watermark. You can back up or move your saved layouts to another device whenever you like.

How to plan a room layout with real measurements

From wall measurements to a layout that fits, in five steps.

  1. Set your room’s size

    Measure your room wall to wall and type the width and depth for a rectangular room, or tap "Draw your own shape" and place a corner at every turn of the wall — alcoves, chimney breasts and L-shapes included. Every wall shows its live length as you go.

  2. Add furniture at real size

    Open the library and tap a standard piece — a 3-seat sofa, a queen bed, a 60 cm washing machine — or create a custom object with your own width and depth. Mark radiators and built-ins as fixtures so they stay put.

  3. Drag, rotate, snap

    Drag pieces around the plan; edges snap flush to walls and to other furniture. Rotate in 15-degree steps with the handle or the rotate button. Red outlines warn when something overlaps or pokes out of the room.

  4. Check the walking space

    Switch to the measure tool and drag between a doorway and the sofa, or between two pieces, to read the gap. Compare it against the clearance guide below — main walkways want about 90 cm.

  5. Save or export the plan

    Save named layouts in your browser, download the plan as a PNG image, or export JSON to back it up and import it on another device.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I plan a room layout online for free?

Draw your room’s outline to scale, then place furniture with real measurements and drag it around until the arrangement works. This planner runs entirely in your browser — no account, no download, and it keeps working offline once the page has loaded.

How do I draw a room to scale?

Measure each wall at floor level (skirting to skirting) in centimetres or feet and inches. For a rectangular room, type the width and depth. For L-shapes, bay areas or alcoves, use Draw room and tap a corner at every turn of the wall — each wall shows its live length, and corners lock to right angles unless you pull them away.

Will my couch fit through the door?

Compare the door’s clear opening against the couch’s smallest cross-section — usually its depth, or its height with the legs and cushions off. A rough rule: a couch can tilt through when the square root of (depth² + height²) is less than the door opening plus about 5 cm of wiggle room. Use the measure tool on the hallway path too — the turn is what usually fails, not the door itself.

How much space should I leave between furniture?

About 90 cm (35 in) for main walkways, 60 cm (24 in) for minor paths between pieces, 45 cm (18 in) between a sofa and a coffee table, 75 cm (30 in) beside a bed, and 90 cm (35 in) for a dining chair to pull out. The full clearance table on this page lists the recommended and minimum gap for each situation.

What size is a queen bed?

In Europe a queen is typically 160 × 200 cm; the US queen is 60 × 80 in (152 × 203 cm). The library carries single (90 × 200), double (140 × 200), queen and king (180 × 200) — and every size table on this page is generated from the same data the planner places, so the numbers on the page and the numbers on the canvas are the same numbers.

Can I save my room layout?

Yes — save up to 12 named layouts in your browser, export any layout as a JSON file for backup or to move it to another device, and download the plan as a PNG image to share or print.

Is my floor plan uploaded anywhere?

No. The room you draw and every object you place stay in your browser’s local storage — your drawings and measurements are never uploaded. Export files only exist when you download them yourself.
