Why plan one room before buying furniture?
Most Indian homeowners search for bedroom layout planner or 10×12 bedroom design when a flat is handed over or before a renovation. A king bed, wardrobe, and AC unit all have fixed footprints in feet — squeezing them on paper is faster than discovering a blocked wardrobe door on site.
This tool focuses on one room at a time: circulation, clearance in front of wardrobes, kitchen work triangle distance, and soft Vastu nudges (bed direction, stove wall). It complements — not replaces — our whole-plot Vastu floor plan designer, which maps nine zones across your full house plan.
Pre-furnished layout presets
Start from a sensible baseline, then adjust. Open the tool and pick a preset in the sidebar, or use these deep links:
Common Indian room sizes (feet)
| Room | Typical sizes | What usually fits |
|---|---|---|
| Master bedroom | 10×12, 11×13, 12×14 | King or double bed, wardrobe, dresser, AC |
| Living room | 12×14, 12×16, 14×16 | 3-seat sofa, TV unit, coffee table, armchair |
| Kitchen | 8×10, 10×10, 8×12 | Parallel or L counter, hob, sink, fridge |
| Dining | 8×10, 10×12 | 4- or 6-seater table with 2.5 ft walkways |
| Study / WFH | 8×10, 10×10 | Desk, chair, bookshelf |
| Pooja room | 4×5, 5×6 | Pooja unit, offering table, seating |
| Children’s bedroom | 9×10, 10×11 | Single bed, study desk, wardrobe |
Sizes vary by city, builder, and Vastu preferences. Treat these as starting points — measure your carpet area before finalising purchases.
Clearance norms used in the tool
The planner draws a 1.5 ft band around each furniture piece (minimum clearance zone). Layout analysis flags when the walkway between items drops below 2.5 ft — a practical minimum for opening wardrobe doors and passing between sofa and coffee table. Door swing arcs are shown in amber; overlapping furniture inside the arc triggers a warning.
For kitchens, the dashed work triangle (hob–sink–fridge) highlights when the total perimeter falls outside the commonly cited 12–26 ft band — a planning hint, not a building-code rule.

A practical sequence for one room: sketch furniture here → check clearance and Vastu hints → export PNG for your carpenter or interior designer → run paint & tile estimates → when ready for the full house, move to the Vastu floor plan designer and rough construction cost. Licensed architects still produce compliant drawings; this tool helps you arrive prepared.
Frequently asked questions
What is the standard bedroom size in India?
Master bedrooms in Indian apartments and independent houses often fall between 10×12 ft (120 sq ft) and 12×14 ft (168 sq ft). Smaller secondary bedrooms may be 9×10 ft. The tool includes presets at these sizes so you can test bed and wardrobe placement before buying.
Can a 10×12 room fit a king bed?
Yes, with planning. A king bed is roughly 6×7 ft plus circulation. A 10×12 room can fit a king bed, wardrobe, and nightstands if the wardrobe is on the shorter wall and you maintain about 1.5 ft clearance on the sides — load the compact master preset to see one workable arrangement.
How much space do you need around a bed?
Allow at least 1.5 ft on accessible sides for making the bed and walking past. Prefer 2.5 ft in front of wardrobes and dressing areas so doors swing fully open. The tool highlights tight zones automatically when Clearance is enabled.
What is the best direction for a bed in a bedroom?
Many Vastu references suggest sleeping with the head toward South or East, and avoiding head toward North. Schools differ; the tool shows educational hints only — not guaranteed outcomes. For detailed entrance-based advice, use our Vastu room advisor.
How do I plan a small bedroom layout?
Start with room dimensions, pick a smaller bed if needed (double or single), place the wardrobe on the wall with no window, and keep the door swing arc clear. Use presets or drag items one at a time while watching clearance shading.
Is 12×14 a good living room size?
12×14 ft (168 sq ft) is a common living room in 2–3 BHK flats — enough for a 3-seat sofa, TV unit, and coffee table with modest circulation. Larger 14×16 ft layouts allow an armchair or bookshelf. Try the small living preset.
How to arrange furniture in a 10×10 room?
Prioritise one anchor piece (bed or sofa), place storage against the longest wall, and leave a clear path from door to window. Reduce item count before reducing clearance — a 10×10 kitchen works for parallel counters; a 10×10 bedroom usually needs a double or single bed instead of king.
Is this room layout planner free?
Yes. No signup, no account. Export PNG, print, copy a furniture list, or share a link to your layout. Speak Arch tools are free educational aids for Indian homeowners.
