Planning a 6×7 Meter Room
6×7 m is the open-plan kitchen-living room of a modern European detached house, the double garage with a workshop, and the size of a small village-hall meeting room. Forty-two square metres holds kitchen, dining and sofa with generous walkways, or two cars and a full bench.
At 1:1.17 the 700-cm length is a 350-cm kitchen-dining half and a 350-cm living half, each at the full 600-cm width, which takes a 300-cm kitchen run plus a 90-cm island with 100-cm aisles (60 + 100 + 90 + 100 = 350) and still leaves 250 cm for a table beside the island. As a garage, the extra metre over the 6×6 m is a 60-cm bench with 140 cm to stand.
What this size is best used for
- 1Kitchen-dining-living room
Kitchen run and island in the far 350 cm with a 160×90-cm table beside the island's end (90 cm from it), and a sofa group in the near 350 cm facing a TV on a long wall.
- 2Double garage with a workshop strip
Two 185-cm cars (80 + 185 + 70 + 185 + 80 = 600), the noses stop 700 − 460 = 240 cm before the back wall, so a bench 60 cm deep fits along it with 180 cm to stand and pass.
- 3Meeting room for twelve
A 300×120-cm boardroom table centred leaves 200 cm per end and 240 cm per side; twelve chairs at 60 cm each fit its perimeter (2 × 300 + 2 × 120 = 840 cm, 14 seats), and a 40-cm credenza on a side wall still leaves 200 cm to pull out.

Furniture sizes are the same true-to-scale pieces in the RoomSketch3D catalog; clearances are what is left after each step.
- Kitchen: a 360-cm run on the far 600-cm wall from the left corner, 60 cm deep, in the order hob, worktop, sink, worktop, oven housing and fridge-freezer (six 60-cm modules), and a 60-cm larder at the run's right end; the far wall's last 180 cm stay free for a window.
- The 200×90-cm island stands 100 cm off the run and flush with its left end, occupying 160 to 250 cm from the far wall and the first 200 cm from the left wall; three stools sit on its right side.
- Table 160×90 cm lengthwise to the right of the island with a 90-cm gap between them, its far end in line with the island's far edge (160 cm from the far wall): the far end chair pulls out into 160 − 60 = 100 cm, the near end chair into 350 − 320 = 30 cm and stays tucked, the left-hand chairs share the 90-cm gap with the stools, and the right-hand chairs pull into 600 − 200 − 90 − 90 = 220 cm.
- Living (near 350 cm): sofa 220×90 cm across the near 6-m wall, centred, facing the kitchen; coffee table 100×50 cm at 40 cm; two 80-cm armchairs on the long walls at 500 cm facing each other; TV on the right wall on a bracket at 520 cm. The door is in the left long wall's near corner.
Mistakes this size invites
- The island across the room: 200 cm in 600 cm of width leaves 200 cm each side, which is fine for circulation but leaves the table nowhere to go except the living zone.
- Cars parked nose-in with the bench on a side wall in the garage plan: 60 cm of bench plus 80 cm of door gap plus 185 cm of car is 325 cm per side, 650 cm for two, against 600.

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 6×7 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.
