Room Layout Planner

Room to Breathe / The toolkit / 02

A little planning.
A room that works.

Try your furniture in a measured, top-down room plan. See overlapping pieces and keep a visible route in mind before you move anything heavy.

Measurements
01 / Your room

Use the clear inside dimensions of a rectangular room. Include skirting boards and any fixed projections in your measurements.

02 / Furniture

Example sizes are starting points. Measure your actual pieces, including handles and overhangs.

03 / Doorway & route

For top/bottom walls, measure the start from the left. For side walls, measure from the top. The approach is a simple reserved rectangle; it does not model a swinging door.

    Every save makes a new named copy. Existing layouts stay unchanged. Up to 30 saved layouts and 30 recoverable deleted layouts fit in this browser.

    Opening a layout replaces only your current draft; Undo brings it back. Save or download a backup before leaving this page. Use one tab at a time when saving.

    Recently deleted (0)

    Deleted layouts stay here until this browser’s site data is cleared. There is no permanent-delete button.

    Compare an alternative.

    Save a layout to compare another arrangement.

    Differences are current draft minus saved alternative. A lower conflict count is not a safety or accessibility assessment.

    Take your plan with you.

    JSON only, up to 512 KB. Import is validated before saving, adds new copies and never replaces existing layouts. Old single-plan JSON is supported. Images are not editable backups.

    Saved layouts stay on this browser and device; they do not sync. Private browsing, blocked storage or cleared site data can remove them. Download a JSON backup for safekeeping. JSON may include the room and furniture names you enter.

    This is a two-dimensional planning aid, not an access or safety assessment. It does not check door swings, windows, radiators, furniture stability, drawer opening, turning space, carrying routes, or local building and accessibility requirements. Verify the real room before buying or moving furniture.

    Measure once. Try a few ways.

    1. Measure the clear room width and depth.
    2. Add each furniture footprint and its distance from the top and left walls.
    3. Mark your doorway and a route you want to keep open.
    4. Check every flagged area in the real room before moving anything.

    Small changes, useful clues.

    Try turning a table or swapping a wide cabinet for a shallower footprint. A plan can show that rectangles fit, but only a real-world check tells you whether the room feels comfortable and works for the people using it.

    How to Measure Kitchen Cupboards for Storage Bins

    Image
    A storage bin can fit on a shelf and still be awkward to use. The opening may be too narrow, the handle may catch a hinge, or the contents may be impossible to reach without moving everything else. AI-generated design concept showing a cupboard measurement setup; check your own shelf, opening and hinge clearances. Before choosing a container, check two things separately: where it will sit and how it will move. This guide walks through both, with a simple measurement sheet and a cardboard test you can do before buying anything. The short answer: measure the usable shelf, the narrowest opening and the space needed to pull the bin out. Then check the container's outside dimensions, including its handles and lid. A litre or quart capacity tells you how much it holds, not whether it fits your cupboard. In this guide Choose the bin's job Measure the shelf and the opening Test the movement Choose a useful shape Use the final checklist Compare two storage options 1. Give the bin ...

    How to Check Whether Under-Bed Storage Will Fit

    Image
    The empty-looking space under a bed is not one open rectangle. Side rails, centre supports, floor coverings and the furniture beside the bed can all affect whether a container will fit and whether you can get it out again. AI-generated design concept: leave enough clearance beneath the bed and enough floor space to pull storage out. Before choosing under-bed storage, map the usable space and test the full movement. A box that disappears underneath the frame is only useful if you can retrieve its contents without rearranging the room. The short answer: measure the lowest entry opening, the clear space between supports and the room available for pulling a container out. Check the bed and mattress makers' storage and ventilation guidance, then test a realistic shape before committing. 1. Decide what belongs underneath Start with a small group of belongings and decide how often you will need them. Spare bedding, occasional bags and out-of-season clothing create different access r...

    Three Small Entryway Drop Zones Using What You Own

    Image
    A small entryway has to handle several jobs at once: catching what comes home, keeping everyday things easy to find and reminding you what needs to leave. When all three jobs share one pile, even a generous basket can become difficult to use. AI-generated design concept: a tray, basket and space beneath a bench can become three simple drop zones. Try separating those jobs into three small drop zones. They can be spots on an existing shelf, inside a cupboard or beside a doorway. Start with what you own and test the routine before adding furniture. The short answer: give pocket items a landing place, everyday carry items a home and outgoing things a temporary departure spot. Keep the door and your usual route clear, then limit each zone to what earns its space. 1. Start with the route through the room Clear the loose objects around the entrance. Open the door through its normal movement and notice what happens when you step inside carrying a bag. Include any nearby cupboard doors, ...
