How to Use the Sofa Size & Room Layout Tool
Adjust the room length and width, then set the overall width and depth of your sofa. Use the unit selector to switch all measurements between feet, inches, meters and centimeters. The room changes proportion as you adjust its dimensions, while the sofa stays anchored in its current position.
Measure the usable room
Measure the practical floor area available for furniture. Consider doors, fireplaces, built-ins, radiators and other features that reduce the usable space.
Use the sofa's overall dimensions
Use the overall sofa width and depth listed by the furniture manufacturer. These measurements are more useful for layout planning than seat dimensions alone.
Check the space around the sofa
Drag the sofa around the room and watch the distance indicators update. This gives you a quick visual way to compare wall clearance, coffee table spacing and the overall balance of the room.
Why Sofa Depth Matters
Sofa depth affects how far a sofa extends into the room. Two sofas with the same width can require noticeably different layouts when one is deeper than the other.
