Planning a 4×7 Meter Room
4×7 m is the living room of a large European apartment, the knocked-through lounge-diner of a British semi, and the open-plan kitchen-living space of a modern flat. Twenty-eight square metres holds a full sofa group and a six-seat table with walkways round both.
At 1:1.75 the 700-cm length is a 350-cm seating zone plus a 350-cm dining or kitchen zone, each the full 400-cm width. A 180×90-cm table runs lengthwise in the dining half with an end chair at each end (90 + 180 + 90 = 360, so either the table drops to 170 cm or one end chair stays tucked under).
What this size is best used for
- 1Living-dining room
The far 350 cm are the sofa group; the near 350 cm hold a 160×90-cm table lengthwise with an end chair each end (90 + 160 + 90 = 340), chairs on the long sides pulling into 400 − 90 = 310 cm, or 155 per side.
- 2Kitchen-living room
A 300-cm kitchen run on the far 4-m wall with a 90×180-cm island 100 cm in front of it (60 + 100 + 90 = 250 cm of the 700-cm length), and a sofa group in the near 350 cm with 100 cm between island stools and sofa back.
- 3Main bedroom suite
Bed 180×200 cm headboard to the 4-m wall, 90 cm to walk, wardrobes 60 cm deep down both long walls for 200 cm, a 160-cm two-seater across the near wall, and 700 − 200 − 90 − 200 − 90 = 120 cm of walkway before the sofa.
Kitchen-living room in a 4×7 m room
Furniture sizes are the same true-to-scale pieces in the RoomSketch3D catalog; clearances are what is left after each step.
- Kitchen run 300 cm on the far 400-cm wall from the left corner (fridge-freezer 60, worktop 60, sink 60, worktop 60, hob 60), 60 cm deep; the right 100 cm of that wall take a 60-cm tall larder and 40 cm of wall.
- Island 180×90 cm parallel to the run, 100 cm in front of it, aligned with the run's left end; its front edge is 60 + 100 + 90 = 250 cm from the far wall. Three stools on the front side, 60 cm each.
- Seating zone from 350 cm: sofa 220×90 cm on the left wall with its far arm at 350 cm, facing the right wall where the TV hangs above a 120×40-cm unit; coffee table 100×50 cm at 40 cm; path to the unit 400 − 90 − 40 − 50 − 40 = 180 cm.
- The gap between the island's stools (250 + 60 = 310 cm) and the sofa's far arm at 350 cm would be only 40 cm, so the sofa slides to 390 cm, and the door in the near 4-m wall at the right corner opens into the 400 − 120 = 280 cm beside the TV unit.
Mistakes this size invites
- The island across the room: 180 cm of island in 400 cm of width leaves 110 cm each side, and the route from the door to the kitchen runs through the stools.
- A 200-cm table lengthwise with end chairs: 90 + 200 + 90 = 380 cm in a 350-cm zone.

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 4×7 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.
