    How It Works

    Step 1: Measure your roomMeasure wall to wall in feet. Length is the longer side, width is the shorter side.
    Step 2: Pick the room typeChoose living room, bedroom, dining room or studio. Each room type follows its own designer size rules.
    Step 3: Shop with your sizesUse the sizes in your plan when you shop, and every piece will fit with room to walk around it.

    Formula Used in This Calculator

    This calculator uses the same clearance rules designers use for apartments: Sofa max length = Longest wall (in) - 24 in of side space Bed max width = Room width (in) - 48 in for both sides Dining table max = Room size (in) - 72 in of chair space Coffee table length = Sofa length x 0.66 TV size = Viewing distance (in) / 1.7 Walkways stay at 30 to 36 inches, and a dining chair needs 36 inches of space behind it to pull out in comfort.

    3 Furniture Rules That Save Every Apartment

    • Measure doors and halls first: a piece that fits the room but not the 30 inch doorway helps no one.
    • Keep the 18 inch gap: leave 18 inches between the sofa and the coffee table, close enough to reach, wide enough to walk.
    • Scale to the short wall: the biggest piece in the room should follow the shortest wall, never fight it.

    Apartment Furniture Size Calculator FAQs

    What size sofa fits a 12 x 10 ft living room?A 72 inch sofa is the sweet spot. It sits on the long wall with space at both ends, and it still leaves a clear walkway across the room.

    What size bed fits a 10 x 10 ft bedroom?A queen bed is the maximum: it leaves about 30 inches on each side for slim nightstands. A full bed feels roomier and takes wider nightstands.

    How much space does a dining table need around it?Keep 36 inches between the table edge and the wall on every side, so chairs pull out and people can walk behind them.

    What size TV suits a small living room?Measure from the sofa to the TV wall in inches and divide by 1.7. Eight feet of viewing distance gives a 55 inch TV.

    The 84 inch sofa I wanted would never have fit my 11 ft wall. This tool stopped me at checkout and the 72 inch one is perfect.
    Grace H., Denver
    ★★★★★
    Queen bed, nightstand width, dresser length, all from two numbers. My 10 x 12 bedroom shopping list was done in a minute.

    ★★★★★
    The dining chair space rule is the one nobody tells you. My table seats six and guests can still get up without a squeeze.
    Amelia F., Portland
    ★★★★★
    Used the studio plan for my first apartment. Bed, loveseat and desk sizes all fit the one room with a walkway to spare.
    Kenji T., San Jose
    ★★★★★
    TV size from viewing distance just makes sense. No more squinting at a tiny screen across the room.
