What the Furniture Arrangement Generator actually calculates
The longer dimension divided by the shorter chooses one central group or, above 1.45, two linked zones. Primary use adds different placement advice for conversation, family lounging, entertaining, or mixed activities; focal point adds a separate sightline check. Swapping length and width preserves the proportions. The suggested 0.90 m aisle is not verified against furniture or doors.
The calculation path
Room aspect ratio and focal priority select a layout archetype with explicit placement and clearance guidance.
Inputs that can change the answer
- Room length: Enter room length in m.
- Room width: Enter room width in m.
- Focal point: Select the applicable focal point from the listed choices.
- Primary use: Select the applicable primary use from the listed choices.
Checks that stay outside the formula
Draw the generated arrangement to scale before moving heavy pieces.
A practical order for entering the data
- Measure and enter the room's length and width in metres.
- Select the focal point and primary use.
- Draw the suggested arrangement to scale and test the stated aisle against doors and actual furniture dimensions.

Engine check using the prefilled sample
Planning example: room length = 5 m, room width = 4 m, focal point = Television and primary use = Family lounging. These sample choices show the rule path only; use the options that reflect the room and priorities you actually have.
