Lists like this can't tell you if it actually works

"A 3-seater sofa fits" is true — until the door swing eats half a meter of wall, the radiator blocks the long wall, or the walkway to the window shrinks to 50 cm. The only way to know your layout works is to see it: draw the 3×4 m room, place real furniture at true scale, and check the flow.

That's exactly what RoomSketch3D does. Drag-and-drop 650+ true-to-scale furniture pieces into your exact room and walk through it in 3D — before you buy, move, or assemble anything.
