How to Plan a Room Layout

Measure the room. Note wall lengths, doors, windows and anything fixed, like radiators or vents.
Draw it to scale. A scaled floor planner shows what fits before you buy or move anything.
Pick the focal point. A TV, fireplace, window view or bed wall decides where the largest pieces go.
Place the biggest furniture first, then add smaller pieces around it.
Keep walkways clear. Check that doors open fully and you can move through the room without squeezing past furniture.
Check it in 3D. Walk through the layout in a 3D room planner and adjust.
