Planning a 6×9 Meter Room
6×9 m is the open-plan ground floor of a mid-size European detached house, the double garage with a full workshop bay, and the size of a small restaurant dining room. Fifty-four square metres is generous for one room and small for a whole home.
At 1:1.5 the 900-cm length is three equal bands of 300 cm, each 600 cm wide: kitchen with island, dining, living. A 200×100-cm table fits the dining band across the room (90 + 100 + 90 = 280 of 300) but not along it (90 + 200 + 90 = 380), and the living band takes a corner sofa and two chairs with 150 cm of walkway round them.
What this size is best used for
- 1Kitchen, dining and living
An island kitchen fills the far band; the middle band takes a 200×100-cm table across the room with both rows of chairs drawn out (280 of 300 cm); the near band is a corner-sofa group.
- 2Double garage with a full workshop
The front 460 cm park two 185-cm cars with their doors opening fully; the 900 − 460 = 440 cm behind them take a 300-cm bench along the back wall, a table saw on the centreline with 250 cm of outfeed, and 60-cm cabinets down both sides.
- 3Restaurant room for twenty
Ten 70×70-cm two-tops in two rows of five along the long walls, 70 cm apart, with a 120-cm central aisle: 70 + 60 + 120 + 60 + 70 = 380 cm of the 600-cm width (110 cm of wall bench each side) and 5 × 70 + 4 × 70 = 630 cm of the length, leaving 270 cm for a service counter.
Kitchen, dining and living in a 6×9 m room
Furniture sizes are the same true-to-scale pieces in the RoomSketch3D catalog; clearances are what is left after each step.
- Kitchen (far 300 cm): an L of 60-cm-deep units, full width along the far wall and 240 cm down the left; a 200×90-cm island 100 cm out from the far run, its right end level with the run's so nothing blocks the L's corner; three stools along the island's near side end 60 cm beyond its edge, at 310 cm.
- Dining (300 to 600 cm): the 200×100-cm table crosses the room from 400 to 500 cm with 200 cm to each long wall; the far row draws out to 310 cm, meeting the stools' line, the near row to 590 cm.
- Living (600 to 900 cm): corner sofa 280×200 cm in the near right corner, long side along the near wall; two 80-cm armchairs on the left long wall at 650 and 750 cm facing the sofa's return; coffee table 120×60 cm 50 cm from the sofa's long side; the TV on a bracket on the near wall's free 320 cm to the left of the sofa, seen from the sofa's return and both armchairs.
- A door at the near end of the left long wall gives onto the 600 − 280 = 320 cm beside the sofa's long side; a 160×45-cm sideboard against the right long wall in the dining band cuts that side's draw-out to 200 − 45 = 155 cm.
Mistakes this size invites
- One island parallel to the left run instead of the far run: it then sits in the dining zone's line and pushes the table into the living zone.
- Two rows of restaurant tables against the walls with one wide aisle: 70 + 70 = 140 cm of table leaves a 460-cm aisle, and the room seats ten instead of twenty.

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 6×9 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.
