The working index
Start with the number you actually need.
Each calculator has one job, one short measurement list, and a result that names the assumption worth checking next.
01furniture
View all 23 planning tools Sofa size calculator
See how much wall and walking space a sofa will leave in your room.
02fitDoorway furniture fit checker
Check whether a rigid piece of furniture can pass through the clear doorway.

01
Separate room and delivery sizes
Use assembled dimensions for placement. Check every package for a boxed delivery.
02
Measure the real constraints
Check the usable wall, open floor, and tightest route point.
03
Read pass, check, or pause
See the exact bottleneck, then confirm it physically before checkout.
Working rule
Measure first. Spend second.
Every tool starts with a physical question, shows the working assumptions, and names the constraint that deserves another look.

After the fit check
Test where it could go.
Use the private 2D planner when you need to compare positions, door swings, or several real furniture footprints. It is a scale-checking tool, not a photorealistic design studio.
- Five room-outline starting points
- Exact furniture sizes and positions
- Overlap, boundary, and tight-gap checks
Measurements in practice
Browse all guides The smaller sofa can have the longer box.
Our comparison of three IKEA loveseats shows why room fit and delivery fit need different numbers. Check the source dimensions, repeat the arithmetic, and compare your own room.
Before checkout
Product page open. Tape measure out.
Copy the outside width, depth, and height from each product page. RoomFact will keep the room fixed and show which option has the strongest measured margin.
