Add furniture in your exact size
Start from the closest catalog piece and make it yours in its panel: type the exact width, depth and height, rename it, and pick its color, fabric or finish. It keeps the real piece's look in 2D and 3D, and Flow Check checks your size.
Your sofa is 91 inches, the catalog's is 84. Your grandmother's dresser is like nothing in any catalog. You don't need a special tool for either: every piece on your plan can be resized, renamed and recoloured in its own panel. Start from the closest piece of the same kind, then type your real measurements.
Starting from a real piece matters. It keeps that piece's detail on the plan and in 3D (a wall TV stays on the wall, a vanity keeps its basin, a sofa keeps its cushions), and Smart Flow Check checks it at the size you typed.

Step by step
- 1
Add the closest piece
In Furnish, search for the kind of thing you have (sofa, dresser, base cabinet, bookshelf…) and pick the one closest in shape. Tap it, then +Add. The size doesn't matter yet.
- 2
Type your measurements
The piece is selected and its panel is open. Tap W, D or H and type your piece's width, depth and height; each one applies on its own. Depending on your settings you type one number, or feet and inches (metres and centimetres) in two boxes. Many pieces also offer Quick sizes (Small, Medium, Large) as a starting point. Measure at the widest points: arms, handles, feet.
Tap W, D or H and type your own size. - 3
Name it and give it your color
Tap the name at the top of the panel to rename it (Grandma's dresser). Pick a Color swatch, or the rainbow swatch for any shade. Pieces with more options show them here too: Fabric on sofas and chairs (Weave, Linen, Velvet, Bouclé, Leather), Finish on wood and cabinets, Front, Shelves and Drawers on storage, Countertop on kitchen cabinets. The color you choose shows on the plan as well as in 3D.
The color you pick shows on the plan too. - 4
Check it fits
Drag it into place. Flow check in the toolbar checks your size against walls, doors and the furniture around it, and the 3D view shows it at that size.
- 5
Nothing close? Tell me
Search for it. When nothing matches, the panel suggests starting from the closest piece and offers Request this item: describe what you need (size, style, where it goes) and you'll hear back by email within 24 hours, with the item added or the closest piece to start from.
No match: start from the closest piece, or request it.
Tips
Measure your real piece first
Width × depth × height with a tape measure, at the widest points (arms, handles, feet). Then Smart Flow Check can tell you honestly whether it fits.
Pick the closest kind, not the closest size
The kind decides how the piece is drawn and checked: a rug lies under furniture, a wall cabinet hangs on the wall, a bed draws as a bed. Size is the easy part: you type it.
Made one you like? Duplicate it
Tap Duplicate in its panel for a second one, or copy it (Ctrl/Cmd + C on a computer) and paste it into another design (Ctrl/Cmd + V).
Common mistakes
Looking for a Custom or Your size tile
They're gone: every category now ends with real pieces only. Add the closest one and set its size in its panel.
Approximating with the wrong kind of piece
A box-shaped storage cabinet standing in for a wall TV sits on the floor in 3D. Search for the real kind first; almost everything is there.
Frequently asked questions
Where did the Custom / Your size tile go?
It was retired in October 2026. A blank piece drew worse than the real one: it lost the detail the catalog piece has on the plan and in 3D, a built floating vanity or wall TV sat on the floor, and a built ceiling fan looked like a plain light. Start from the closest catalog piece and set its exact size in its panel. Pieces you built earlier stay exactly as they are.
Can I still edit a custom piece I made before?
Yes. Select it: its panel has the same size boxes, name, color and options as any other piece.
Can I save a piece for reuse?
Not to a library: a piece lives in the design you made it in. To reuse it, select it, copy it (Ctrl/Cmd + C on a computer), open the other design and paste it (Ctrl/Cmd + V): the copy survives switching designs on the same device. Or duplicate the whole design. My Library only holds the 2D symbols you upload.
My exact piece isn't in the catalog. What are my options?
Two. (1) Add the closest catalog piece and type its real width, depth and height in its panel: almost every piece takes any size, and you can rename and recolour it. (2) Ask for it: search for it in the Furnish panel and, when nothing matches, tap Request this item and describe it. You'll hear back by email within 24 hours.
Is there a size limit?
The size boxes take anything from 4 inches up to 40 feet. A piece is never refused at its own size, though: a thin one such as a picture frame or a wall TV keeps its 1" or 3" depth, and a piece already longer than 40 ft (a 50 ft pool in an older plan) can be re-typed at its own length.
