About Furniture Fit In Room Calculator

Fitting furniture is as much about circulation as about the piece itself. A main walkway needs 75-90 cm, a secondary route 60 cm, and 30-45 cm between a sofa and a coffee table. Checking the remaining walkway rather than just the wall length is what prevents a cramped room.

Formula

Furniture fit

remaining wall = room length - furniture length; walkway = room width - furniture depth

Assumptions and limits

  • The result is derived only from the 4 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
  • In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
  • Figures are rounded for display to 2 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What clearances should I plan for?

75-90 cm for a main route, 60 cm minimum for a secondary one, 90 cm behind a dining chair, and 30-45 cm from sofa to coffee table.

How do I check a delivery route?

Measure the narrowest doorway, the stair turn diagonal and any low ceiling. Many sofas fit the room but not the route to it.
