Planning a 2×3 Meter Room
2×3 m is the standard family bathroom of European apartments (bath along the 2-m end wall), the box room of a British terrace, and the galley kitchen of a studio flat. Six square metres is exactly the size below which UK space standards refuse to call a room a bedroom.
At 1:1.5 the 300-cm length is a corridor off a 200-cm end. A 170-cm bath spans the end wall with 30 cm to spare, and the 300-cm side wall then takes a WC (75 cm) and a basin (60 cm) in a row with 300 − 70 − 75 − 60 = 95 cm left over for the door and a towel rail.
What this size is best used for
- 1Family bathroom
Bath 170×70 cm across the 2-m end (30 cm for a shelf), WC and 60-cm basin along one long wall: 70 + 75 + 60 = 205 cm of 300, leaving 95 cm at the door end and 200 − 40 = 160 cm of floor in front of the basin.
- 2Galley kitchen (single run)
A 300-cm run on one long wall — fridge 60, sink base 60, counter 60, hob 60, counter 60 — with a 60-cm depth leaving 140 cm to stand and open the oven (60 cm) with 80 cm behind you.
- 3Home office nook
A 140×70-cm desk across the 2-m end wall (30 cm each side) leaves 300 − 70 = 230 cm behind the chair for a 40-cm bookcase on the near wall and a 190-cm gap.
Family bathroom in a 2×3 m space
Furniture sizes are the same true-to-scale pieces in the RoomSketch3D catalog; clearances are what is left after each step.
- Bath 170×70 cm across the far 200-cm wall, taps at the left end; the 30 cm beside it become a tiled shelf.
- Along the right 300-cm wall, straight after the bath: the WC in a 75-cm zone (pan 65 cm deep, 135 cm clear in front), then a 60-cm basin unit 45 cm deep.
- That uses 70 + 75 + 60 = 205 cm of the wall; the last 95 cm hold a heated towel rail and the door's arc.
- Door in the near 200-cm wall, 80-cm leaf hinged on the left, swinging into the 95-cm zone beside the basin; a 15-cm-deep cabinet above the WC at 120 cm.
Mistakes this size invites
- Putting the basin opposite the WC instead of beside it: 200 − 45 = 155 cm minus the pan's 65 cm leaves 90 cm, and the door then opens onto the pan.
- Calling a 2×3 m room a bedroom: a 90×200-cm single bed leaves 110 cm beside it and 100 cm at its foot, which is fine physically, but at 6 m² it is under the 7.5 m² UK single-bedroom standard.

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 2×3 m room, place real furniture at true scale, and check the flow.
That's exactly what RoomSketch3D does. Drag-and-drop true-to-scale furniture pieces into your exact room and walk through it in 3D — before you buy, move, or assemble anything.
