## How it works

The tool calculates layout configurations by processing the dimensions of the room along with the specific measurements of the selected furniture pieces. Each furniture item has defined dimensions that are taken into account to ensure they fit within the room’s boundaries. The system uses a grid-based algorithm to allow users to see how various arrangements will look, ensuring that all objects adhere to spatial constraints. When a user places furniture, the tool checks for overlaps and provides real-time feedback on how the layout adjustments impact the overall space.

## Who should use this

Interior designers creating space plans for residential or commercial properties, real estate agents staging homes for sale, and homeowners planning renovations or new furniture purchases are specific users who can benefit from this tool. Additionally, architects may use it for preliminary space planning before finalizing design details.

## Worked examples

Example 1: A user has a room measuring 15 feet by 20 feet (length x width). They want to place a 6-foot sofa and a 4-foot coffee table. The total length occupied by the sofa is 6 feet, and the coffee table takes 4 feet, totaling 10 feet. The remaining space on the 15-foot wall is 5 feet. Hence, the sofa can be positioned along one wall with the coffee table in front of it, leaving adequate space for walking. Example 2: A user measures a room at 12 feet by 12 feet and wants to include a king-size bed (6.5 feet x 6 feet) and two nightstands (2 feet each). The bed takes up 6.5 feet of one wall, and the combined width of the nightstands is 4 feet, totaling 10.5 feet. This leaves 1.5 feet of space on that wall, allowing furniture placement without obstruction.

## Limitations

The tool may have limitations such as a maximum room size that can be accurately represented, which could affect larger spaces. The precision of furniture dimensions may vary based on the database from which they are sourced. Users may encounter inaccuracies when placing irregularly shaped furniture that doesn't conform to standard sizes. Additionally, the tool assumes a flat, unobstructed floor space and does not account for architectural features like windows or doors unless manually inputted, which may lead to layout complications.

## FAQs

**Q:** How does the tool handle different furniture shapes?


**A:** The tool allows users to select various shapes and sizes of furniture, which can be rotated and resized to fit the room’s layout.


**Q:** Can the tool accommodate multiple rooms in a single layout?


**A:** Currently, the tool is designed for single-room layouts; users must create separate layouts for additional rooms.


**Q:** What unit measurements can be used in the tool?


**A:** Users can input dimensions in feet or meters, with the tool automatically converting between the two as needed.


**Q:** Is there a way to visualize the layout in 3D?


**A:** The current version of the tool provides a 2D layout view only; 3D visualization is not yet supported.
