How to lay out a bedroom that actually works
Minimum dimensions, bed sizes, wardrobe depths and the three layouts that work in Bangkok condominium bedrooms of 10, 14 and 20 square metres, with the numbers to check before you buy furniture.
Room planner
Set the size of the room, then place the furniture at its real dimensions. The plan lives in the link: send it to someone, or to the studio with your brief.

Dimensions the studio draws with
The clearances the atelier checks on every plan before anything is ordered. Leave these free and the room works.

- In front of a wardrobe
- 70 cm for hinged doors, 50 cm for sliding doors
- Wardrobe depth
- 60 cm inside for hanging, 65 – 70 cm with sliding doors
- Around a dining table
- 90 cm from the table edge to a wall behind a chair
- Sofa to coffee table
- 40 – 45 cm, close enough to reach a cup
- Kitchen aisle
- 100 – 120 cm between counters, 120 cm around an island
- In front of a WC or basin
- 60 cm clear, 70 cm is comfortable
- Door swing

Questions
Is the room planner free?
Yes. It runs in your browser, needs no account and keeps nothing on our side. The plan lives in the link, so anyone you send it to sees the same room.
How accurate is it?
Every piece is drawn at its real size, in centimetres, on a 5 cm grid. Thai bed sizes include 5 cm of frame on each side. It is a layout sketch, not a survey: measure the room wall to wall and check the position of sockets, air-conditioning and columns before you buy.
Can the studio work from my plan?
Yes. Press "Send to the studio" and the link is attached to your brief. The atelier will visit, measure the room and draw it properly, including joinery and lighting.
