Free Living Room & Bedroom Furniture Planner
Will the sectional fit? Draw your living room or bedroom to scale, drop in sofas, beds, dressers, media consoles, and a rug at real US dimensions, and see instantly what works — before you buy or move anything. Overlap and clearance warnings flag layouts that are too tight, and you can export a PNG, scaled print, or CAD-ready DXF. Free, no sign-up.
How to arrange a living room that flows
The mistake most layouts make is pushing everything against the walls and hoping the middle works out. Instead, start from the walkways: keep 30–36 inches of clear path through the room and anywhere people pass behind seating. Then place the biggest piece first — the sofa or sectional, usually facing the TV wall or a focal point — and keep the coffee table about 16–18 inches from the sofa’s front edge: close enough to reach a drink, far enough to walk past.
For the TV, a comfortable viewing distance is roughly 1.5× the screen’s diagonal — about 8 feet for a 65-inch set. Drop the wall-mounted TV from the catalog on the wall opposite your seating and check the distance with the planner’s live dimensions. Finally, size the rug so at least the front legs of every seat sit on it — an 8×10 is the workhorse size for most living rooms, and the rug in this planner is resizable so you can test your exact size.
Bedroom layouts: the bed decides everything
A bedroom plan is really a bed plan. Center the bed on the wall opposite the door where you can, and leave at least 24 inches on each side you get in and out of — 30 inches is comfortable. A queen (about 62×82 inches with its frame) fits well in a 10×10 room; a king (78×82) really wants 12×12 or more once you add nightstands.
Dressers need about 36 inches of clear floor in front so the drawers open with you standing there, and a wardrobe or closet door needs its full swing. The planner’s warnings flag overlapping pieces and tight clearances as you drag things around, so you can test "what if the bed went on the other wall" in seconds instead of an afternoon of heavy lifting.
Standard room dimensions to design around
Furniture comes in predictable sizes; measure your own pieces, but these US standards (built into the catalog) are what stores sell:
| Element | Standard size | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sofa | 78–96" W × 38" D | Loveseat 60"; keep 30–36" walkway in front |
| Sectional (L) | ~100 × 84" | Resizable in the planner to match yours |
| Queen bed | 62 × 82" (with frame) | 24"+ clear on each side you use |
| King bed | 78 × 82" (with frame) | Wants a 12×12 room with nightstands |
| Dresser | 36–60" W × 19" D | 36" clear in front for drawers |
| Nightstand | 20 × 16" | Top near mattress height (~24") |
| Coffee table | 48 × 24" | 16–18" from the sofa edge |
| Media console | 58–70" W × 16" D | Wider than the TV looks best |
| TV viewing distance | ~1.5× diagonal | 65" TV ≈ 8 ft from seating |
| Area rug | 5×8, 8×10, 9×12 ft | Front legs of all seating on the rug |
Frequently asked questions
Is the furniture planner really free?
Yes — completely free with no account and no email. Drawing your room, placing furniture, clearance warnings, and every export (PNG, print-to-scale, SVG, and CAD-ready DXF) are all free, and nothing is uploaded to a server.
How much walkway space should I leave between furniture?
Keep major walkways at 30–36 inches, at least 24 inches beside each side of a bed you get in and out of, about 36 inches in front of dressers so drawers open, and 16–18 inches between a sofa and the coffee table.
What size room fits a king bed?
A king bed with its frame is about 78 by 82 inches. It fits in a 10×12 room, but a 12×12 or larger room is much more comfortable once you add nightstands and keep 24–30 inches of clearance on both sides. Draw your room above and test it in seconds.
What size rug do I need for my living room?
The classic rule: at least the front legs of every seating piece should sit on the rug. For a typical sofa-plus-chairs arrangement that means an 8×10; a large sectional usually wants a 9×12. The rug in this planner is resizable, so you can test the exact size before buying.
How far should the couch be from the TV?
A comfortable starting point is about 1.5 times the screen’s diagonal — roughly 7 feet for a 55-inch TV, 8 feet for a 65-inch, and 9.5 feet for a 75-inch. Place the wall-mounted TV from the catalog and use the planner’s live dimensions to check yours.
