2 Doors and windows

Walls are lettered on the sketch above. Positions are measured from the left corner of the wall as you face it from inside the room.

3 Furniture you need

Basic What most bedrooms need.

  • Walk around the bed and make it; full and larger beds need a way in on both sides for two sleepers. Two beds: each sleeper needs a way in.

  • Sits beside the headboard; reached from the bed.

  • Pull the drawers all the way out (about 16 in) and still stand in front.

  • 34" x 18"

    Pull the drawers out and stand in front.

  • Swing the doors open (each leaf is about half the width) and stand in front.

  • Pull the chair back and sit down.

Extras Add only what you really want in the room.

  • Open the doors and walk past; the TV should face the bed.

  • 30" x 32"

    Leg room in front of the seat.

  • 60" x 36"

    Leg room in front of the seat.

  • 79" x 41"

    A twin mattress with its long side to the wall and a back and arms, so it works as a sofa by day; sit or lie down from the front.

  • 55" x 31"

    Reach in from the long side; keep it away from windows and blind cords.

  • 82" x 42"

    Long side to the wall; climb the ladder from the open side. Needs at least 30 in between the top mattress and the ceiling.

  • 80" x 42"

    A twin bed up high with a desk underneath: pull the chair out and climb the ladder. Needs at least 30 in between the mattress and the ceiling.

  • Folds down out of a wall cabinet: the whole open bed plus a walkway must stay clear of furniture. Closed, that floor is free.

  • Sits at the foot of the bed; the walkway is measured from the bench.

  • 32" x 12"

    Stand in front and reach the shelves.

  • 40" x 20"

    Pull the stool back and sit down.

  • 22" x 12"

    Step back far enough to see yourself head to toe.

  • Picked to suit the bed size and room; it can sit under furniture. Runners go along the sides of the bed.

Your plans

Move, turn, add or remove pieces by hand. We re-check every walkway as you go.
  • 30 in or more
  • 24–29 in, tight
  • under 24 in
    How we check a plan
    • The bed's headboard goes against a solid wall. A window behind it is allowed but noted.
    • Door swings and a 30 in entry zone stay clear, and we measure the narrowest point on the way from the door to every piece.
    • Nightstands sit beside the headboard. Full, queen and king beds get a way in on both sides when the room allows.
    • Drawers, wardrobe doors, desk chairs and stools keep their pull-out space (30–36 in).
    • Desks and vanities prefer a spot near a window; a TV stand faces the bed. Tall pieces never block a window.
    • Walkways: 30 in is comfortable, 24 in is the minimum. Sizes are typical US sizes; measure your own furniture.

    A free bedroom layout planner that measures the walkways

    Most room planners let you drop furniture anywhere and never say whether you can still walk past the bed. This bedroom layout generator does the opposite: you choose the furniture you actually need, it builds up to three arrangements for your room, and every piece gets an honest verdict — fits, tight or doesn't fit — with the walkway measured in inches.

    How to use it

    1. Enter your room. Width and length in feet and inches, ceiling height, and the shape: rectangle, L-shaped, a room with a nook, or one with an angled wall.
    2. Add doors and windows. Put them on the right walls and tell us how the door swings. Windows can be on two walls.
    3. Pick your furniture. Start with the basics (bed size, nightstands, dresser, wardrobe, desk) and add extras only if you want them (TV stand, accent chair, bench, bookshelf, vanity).
    4. Compare the plans, then fine-tune. Open a plan in edit mode to drag, turn, add or remove pieces; every rule is re-checked as you move.

    We plan with the frame, not the mattress

    A queen mattress is 60" x 80", but a queen bed with its frame and headboard takes about 64" x 88" of floor. The planner uses the full footprint of each piece plus the space you need to use it: drawers pulled out, wardrobe doors open, a chair pushed back from the desk. That is why a layout that looks fine on paper can come back as "tight" here.

    Questions people ask

    Is the planner free? Do I need an account?

    Yes, it is free and there is no signup. Your plan is saved in the link and on your device; use "Copy link to this plan" to keep or share it.

    How much space do I need around a bed?

    About 30 in of walkway beside and at the foot of the bed is comfortable; 24 in is a tight minimum. Full, queen and king beds work best with a way in on both sides.

    Can it plan an L-shaped room or a room with a slanted wall?

    Yes. Choose "L-shaped", "Extra nook" or "Angled wall" in step 1. Furniture is placed along straight walls; the angled wall stays open floor.

    Is this a building-code check?

    No. Walkway numbers are common US guidance, not law. Egress windows, smoke alarms and anything you build are governed by your local building code.
