Sofas, beds, tables, desks, kitchen units, bathroom fittings and storage, sized to real-world footprints.
Every item can be rotated, resized and labelled. Try a dozen designs in minutes without lifting a single piece of furniture.
Interior designers lean on a handful of proportions. Use them as a starting point and adjust to your room.
A well-designed room starts with scale: furniture sized to the room, a clear focal point, and enough space to move round it. Then colour and light. Designing to scale first means the room you see in 3D is the room you will actually get, not one that only works on a mood board.
Size the big pieces to the room first.
| Coffee table length | ~⅔ of the sofa |
| Rug under a sofa | front legs on it |
| Main walkway | ~90 cm (36") |
| Sofa to coffee table | 40–45 cm |
Rules of thumb for paint and lighting.
| Main colour | ~60% |
| Secondary colour | ~30% |
| Accent colour | ~10% |
| Light layers | ambient, task, accent |
Whatever the style, a room comes together in the same order.
Every room needs one thing the eye goes to first: a fireplace, a window, a bed wall or a TV wall. Arrange the main seating or the bed to face it, and keep everything else quieter.
Get the furniture layout right on the plan before choosing colours. A sofa on the wrong wall can’t be fixed with paint, but a layout that works will look good in almost any scheme.
With the layout fixed, try paint colours, floors and lighting in the 3D view. Named paint colours and the full floor range come with Plus, which has a 7-day free trial; the layout itself is free.
The same room designer works for any room. These are the starting points that work most often; each links to a planner set up for that room.
Face the sofa towards the focal point, keep the coffee table 40 to 45 cm from it, and leave a clear route behind or beside the seating. Try the sofa on two walls before you decide. Living room planner
Put the bed head against the longest solid wall, with 60 to 70 cm either side, and keep the wardrobe doors clear to open. Bedroom planner
Plan the kitchen run first, then the table, with about 90 cm behind each chair. A rug or a pendant light over the table marks the dining zone. Kitchen planner
Choose fewer, right-sized pieces, raise furniture on legs so you see more floor, and keep the walkway clear. Check it in 3D: it shows straight away whether a room feels cramped. Space planner
