Planning a 7×10 Meter Room
7×10 m is the footprint of a one-bedroom apartment in most European cities (70 m²), the open-plan ground floor of a large townhouse, and the size of a small function room or dance studio. Seventy square metres is a whole home's worth of floor, which is what a single 7×10 m room feels like.
At 1:1.43 the room measures 1000 by 700 cm. Lengthwise, a 240×100-cm table plus a chair at either end (90 + 240 + 90 = 420 cm) fits between a 300-cm kitchen band and a 280-cm living band, and the width is enough for two sofas to face each other across a fireplace with 200 cm of path around them.
What this size is best used for
- 1Whole-floor open plan for a family
Island kitchen in the far 300 cm, then 420 cm for a 240×100-cm table along the room with end chairs, then 280 cm of living with a corner sofa: 300 + 420 + 280 = 1000.
- 2One-bedroom apartment inside the shell
A 3×4 m bedroom and a 2×3 m bathroom across one end (400 + 200 = 600 of 700, the last 100 cm a hall end), a 100-cm hall, and a 6×7 m living-kitchen of 42 m² beyond it.
- 3Dance or function room
A clear 600×900-cm floor with 50-cm borders holds 36 standing dancers at 1.5 m² each, or 32 seated at four 200×100-cm tables in a row (4 × 100 + 3 × 150 = 850 cm of the 900-cm length, eight per table).

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): L-shaped units, 700 cm across the far wall and 240 cm down the left, 60 cm deep; the 240×90-cm island sits 100 cm off the far arm with its right end flush to the run's end, and four stools bring the kitchen's reach to 310 cm.
- Dining (300 to 720 cm): the 240×100-cm table lies along the centreline from 390 to 630 cm, leaving 390 − 310 = 80 cm at its far end (stools under), 720 − 630 = 90 cm at its near end and 300 cm to each side.
- Living (720 to 1000 cm): a corner sofa in the near right corner, 280 cm on the near wall and a 200-cm return up the right wall; an 80-cm armchair on the left long wall at 780 cm faces its return; a 120×60-cm coffee table 50 cm out from the long side; the TV on the near wall's spare 420 cm.
- The front door, at the near corner of the left long wall, opens toward the 420 cm beside the sofa; a 240×45-cm sideboard lines the right long wall in the dining band, and a 100-cm bookcase stands on the left wall at 700 cm beside the armchair.
Mistakes this size invites
- Kitchen along a long wall: the island's 250 cm of depth then sits in the dining table's line for 300 cm of the length, and the table has to go across the room with its end chairs against the island's stools.
- Facing sofas in the living band: the width takes them (sofa 90, gap 100, table 120, gap 100, sofa 90, 500 of 700), but the band is only 280 cm deep and a 220-cm sofa's length plus a walkway is 310, so the second sofa ends up in the dining band.

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 7×10 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.
