Planning a 4×6 Meter Room
4×6 m is the standard living room of a British 1930s semi with the bay, the lounge-diner of an Australian brick veneer, and the double garage's smaller cousin (it takes two small cars with no door clearance). Twenty-four square metres is the size at which a room can have a proper dining end.
At 1:1.5 the 600-cm length divides into a 350-cm seating zone and a 250-cm dining zone; the 400-cm width takes a 160×90-cm table across the room with chairs on both long sides (90 + 90 + 90 = 270 cm) and 130 cm of passage beside it.
What this size is best used for
- 1Lounge-diner with the table across
Sofa group in the far 350 cm, a 160×90-cm table across the near 250 cm with 90 cm of pull-out toward the sofa and 70 cm toward the near wall — so the near row is a bench.
- 2Main bedroom with dressing zone
Bed 180×200 cm against the 4-m wall; after a 90-cm walkway, 150 cm of 60-cm-deep wardrobes line both long walls (400 − 120 = 280 cm between them), and 600 − 200 − 90 − 150 = 160 cm at the near end for the door and a chest.
- 3Garage for two small cars
Two 170-cm-wide cars need 340 cm plus 60 cm between them for one door to open partly: 400 cm exactly, with nothing at the sides; a 400-cm car length leaves 200 cm at the end for a bench.

Furniture sizes are the same true-to-scale pieces in the RoomSketch3D catalog; clearances are what is left after each step.
- Seating (far 350 cm): the 220×90-cm sofa sits along the left wall starting in the far corner, then 40 cm of gap, a 100×50-cm coffee table, and across the room a 120×40-cm TV unit on the right wall; path 400 − 90 − 40 − 50 − 40 = 180 cm. An 80-cm armchair on the far 4-m wall beside the sofa.
- A 40-cm side table at the sofa's near arm ends the seating zone at 260 cm; dining begins at 350 cm after a 90-cm gap.
- Table 160×90 cm across the room, 120 cm from each long wall, its far edge at 350 + 90 = 440 cm so the far row of chairs pulls out into the 90-cm gap; its near edge at 530 cm leaves 70 cm to the near wall, where a 40-cm bench tucks under.
- The door takes the left corner of the near 4-m wall and opens into the 120-cm strip beside the table's left end; a 120×40-cm sideboard on the right wall beside the table.
Mistakes this size invites
- A 200-cm table across the room: 100 cm per side is a path, but the far pull-out of 90 cm plus the table's 90 cm plus 90 cm for the near row is 270 of the 250-cm dining zone.
- Both cars in the garage plan with a bench along a side wall: 340 + 60 + 60 = 460 cm of width against 400.

Maximum Furniture Sizes for a 4×6 m Room
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 4×6 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.
