Short answer

Pick the planner for your room, enter the inside measurements and the outside size of your furniture, and it returns up to three layouts that pass every check. At the Standard setting a bedroom layout keeps 24″ beside and at the foot of the bed, 30″ to pull out the desk chair, 16″ + 18″ in front of the dresser to open a drawer and stand, the door’s swing clear and a 24″ path from the door to all of it.

What the planners check

Check	Standard setting	Where it comes from
Beside and at the foot of the bed	24″	Sleep Foundation; our Clearance Checker
Behind a desk chair	30″	Houzz
In front of a dresser	16″ + 18″	A 16″ drawer pulled out, plus 18″ to stand
Walking route from the door	24″	Houzz (secondary path)
Door swing	Kept clear	The door’s own width

The Minimum and Roomy settings change the walkway, chair and standing space; the bedroom planner shows the numbers it uses under its Clearances box.

What to measure first

The room inside wall to inside wall, both ways, at floor level.
The door: which wall it’s on, how far from the corner, how wide it is and which way it swings.
The window and the closet: their wall, where they start and how wide they are.
Your furniture’s outside size: the bed frame, not the mattress; a desk or dresser at its widest point, handles included. Our furniture sizes guide has standard sizes to start from.

Start from a measured layout

If your room is close to a common size, the layout library has the layouts already worked out: bedrooms from 9×10 to 12×12, living rooms from 10×12 to 13×13 and studios from 200 to 600 sq ft. Each one shows what fits, what doesn’t and the inches that decide it.

What the planners don’t do

They plan rectangular rooms, with the doors, window and closet each planner’s form asks for.
They check a set of wall-based arrangements, not every possible one: no result doesn’t prove nothing fits.
They don’t check how furniture gets into the room. Use Will it fit through the door? for the way in.
