Room Fit Lab
Compare two layouts fairly
Choose the activities first
List the three activities the room must support most often. They might be working at a desk, sharing a meal and opening a wardrobe. Use the same list to compare both layouts so that an attractive drawing does not outweigh an awkward daily routine.
Save a baseline
Enter the current arrangement and save it as an editable plan. Then make one meaningful change, such as rotating the desk or moving a sofa to another wall. Save the alternative under another filename. The local file names let you keep the two versions without an account.
Read the checks precisely
The tool reports rectangle overlaps and boundary crossings. Touching edges are not counted as overlaps. Two furniture pieces that visually overlap may have different heights, but this 2D tool cannot know that. Treat the report as a prompt to inspect the arrangement, not as a complete suitability assessment.
Test the routes
Trace how a person enters, sits down, gets up and leaves. Keep exits clear and review your household escape arrangements. The U.S. Fire Administration’s escape-planning guidance is a primary source for planning ways out; local building requirements can differ.
Try reversible changes first
Move small items before attempting heavy furniture. Check whether cables, light, doors and storage access work in the proposed positions. Arrange suitable help for heavy or wall-mounted pieces. The better layout is the one that supports real use, not simply the one with the most free-looking floor area.
