Furniture dimensions, as a dataset

The 279 footprints the Poché app places on a floor plan — sofas, beds, dining tables, dressers, appliances, rugs, lighting — with the clearance each piece needs, in inches. One CSV, one JSON, free to use with a link back. 17 categories, 51 size families, updated 2026-08-23.

The PDF is one printable letter page — the sizes and clearances people actually look up, in the drafting style, for the wall of wherever you're measuring.

279 rows — the app's 280-entry library minus its one annotation (the room label), which is not furniture. Licensed CC BY 4.0: use it, chart it, load it into a spreadsheet or a model, and credit Poché with a link. The JSON carries the same rows plus the field notes below and the version stamp.

What a row looks like

PieceW × D (in)Ring (in)Front (in)
Standard Sofa 84"84 × 3818
Dining Table 84" (6–8)84 × 4036
Queen Bed 60×8060 × 8030
Dresser 60" (6-drawer)60 × 20836
Rug 8×1096 × 1200

Beds are mattress footprints; a frame adds 2–5 inches on each axis. Round pieces give their diameter as the width. The ring is the free space Poché keeps round a piece on every side; the front figure, where there is one, is the whole requirement in front of a piece you open or use — a dresser's drawer travel plus somewhere to stand.

Where the numbers come from

Footprints are the standard retail sizes for each piece, checked against Architectural Graphic Standards, Time-Saver Standards, NKBA and manufacturer specifications; mattress sizes are the industry standard sizes; kitchen appliances are the standard cabinet widths. The clearances are Poché's own allowances, sourced to a published figure where one exists and marked as convention in the field guides where it does not. Every figure the guides publish carries its tier there: code, standard, or convention. Corrections are welcome — the app has a change-request form in its title block.
