Planning a 8×9 Meter Room
8×9 m is the footprint of a two-bedroom apartment in many European cities (72 m²), the size of a farm machinery shed's smallest bay, and the open-plan ground floor of a large modern house. Seventy-two square metres is more than most people will ever have in a single room.
At 1:1.13 the room is nearly square, with 900 cm on the long axis: three zones of 300 cm at 800 cm wide, each large enough for a full seating or dining group with 150 cm of walkway on every side. The width takes two 200×100-cm tables end to end across the room (400 + 180 of end chairs = 580, 110 cm each side).
What this size is best used for
- 1Two-bedroom apartment inside the shell
A 3×4 m and a 3×3 m bedroom plus a 2×3 m bathroom along one 9-m wall (400 + 300 + 200 = 900), a 100-cm hall beside them, and a living-kitchen strip 800 − 300 − 100 = 400 cm deep along the other side, 36 m² in all.
- 2Great room with kitchen, dining for twelve and lounge
Kitchen run and 240-cm island in the far 300 cm, a 300×120-cm table across the middle 300 cm (90 + 120 + 90 = 300 exactly), and a lounge of 300 cm with two facing sofas.
- 3Machinery bay
A 500×200-cm tractor and a 400×180-cm trailer side by side (200 + 100 + 180 = 480 of 800, 160 cm each side) in the front 500 cm, and 900 − 500 = 400 cm behind for a 400-cm bench and a 200×100-cm parts 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): a 700-cm run along the far 800-cm wall (fridge-freezer 60, freezer 60, oven housing 60, worktop 120, sink 90, worktop 60, hob 90, worktop 100, dishwasher 60), 60 cm deep, 100 cm of wall at the right end; island 240×100 cm parallel to the run, 100 cm in front and centred, its near edge at 60 + 100 + 100 = 260 cm; four stools on its near side, backs at 320 cm.
- Dining (300 to 600 cm): table 300×120 cm across the room with 250 cm to each long wall, from 390 to 510 cm; both rows pull out 90 cm (to 300 and 600 cm, the zone lines exactly); twelve chairs at 60 cm each fit its 300-cm sides (five per side) and its 120-cm ends (one each).
- Lounge (600 to 900 cm): two 220-cm sofas facing each other across the width, each 100 cm off its long wall, 800 − 100 − 90 − 90 − 100 = 420 cm between their front edges; a 120×60-cm coffee table centred between them; the TV on a bracket in the middle of the near wall, seen from both sofas' ends and from an 80-cm armchair on the near wall's left.
- Door in the near 8-m wall at the right corner: the armchair (80 cm) is at the left end and the TV bracket in the middle, so 300 cm of clear wall remain for the door's swing; a 200×45-cm sideboard on the right long wall in the dining zone.
Mistakes this size invites
- The 300-cm table lengthwise: 90 + 300 + 90 = 480 cm in a 300-cm zone, so this table only ever runs across the room.
- Sofas against the long walls in the lounge: 620 cm between them, and the coffee table becomes a landmark rather than a table.

Working from 72 square meters with standard walkway clearances (about 90 cm), here's what comfortably fits depending on how you use the 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 8×9 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.
