Free tools

Seven small calculators that answer one furnishing question each — free, no sign-up, and every one of them shows its arithmetic and names the source. The same research-verified figures Poché draws on your floor plan.

01

What size rug do I need?

Room size and the sofa, table or bed in it — returns the standard rug size from 3 × 5 to 9 × 12, the reveal it leaves, and the rule that picked it.

02

What size sofa fits my wall?

Wall run in, sofa width band out — with the end tables and the walkway subtracted, and the standard sizes that land in it named.

SeatingWall mathLiving
03

How many people fit at my table?

Honest seat counts from the 24-inch-per-diner rule, plus the room size the table needs once every chair pulls back 36 inches.

TV viewing distance calculator

Screen size in, seating distance out — or the reverse. THX immersion, the ITU acuity floor, real panel widths, and the mounting-height angle.

Closet rod length calculator

Opening width and wall height in — usable rod, the double-hang verdict, the drop each garment needs, and what the doors quietly cost you.

Will the bed fit the bedroom?

Room size and bed size in — the real walk-around clearances with the frame counted, the dresser wall checked, and the largest bed the room wants.

Will it fit through the door?

Depth, height, doorway — one honest verdict: clears flat, tilt territory, or not without disassembly.

Why these show their working

Every calculator here runs on the same figures as the field guides and the app's own furniture library — researched against Architectural Graphic Standards, Time-Saver Standards, NKBA, the IRC and the ADA, with each number tiered as code, standard or convention. Where a figure is a styling convention rather than a published standard, the tool says so on screen rather than dressing it up. Where nobody publishes a number at all — hanger spacing, how high a TV goes above a fireplace — it says that too.

That is the whole house rule: assert the geometry, label the judgement. A calculator that returns a confident wrong number is worse than no calculator, because you cannot tell which one you got.

Every one of these, on your actual plan.

These tools answer a question at a time. The app answers all of them at once — upload the floor plan you already have, set the scale in seconds, and place real furniture at true scale with the clearances drawn.
