Room Design Planner — Furnish the room before you buy a thing.
Draw the room, see it in 3D, and know what every piece costs and when to order it — the sofa that fits the stairs, the rug that reaches its legs, the bed that arrives before you do.

Everything in one plan
The measurements, the shopping list and the delivery dates usually live in three places. Here they’re one.
Includes a floor plan in 3D and a room design checklist.
Floor plan
Draw the room. It prices every piece.
Lay out the sofa, the chairs, the rug and the bed to scale, and each piece you draw becomes a line in the budget — with the walkways, the rug under the front legs and the gap to the coffee table checked as you go.

In 3D
Stand in the room before the sofa arrives.
Turn the room you drew and see the sofa, the chairs and the rug where they’ll go, in the colours you picked.
Budget
Know what the whole room costs.
Each room priced at your budget, less what you’re keeping, with paint, delivery and assembly on their own lines — and every piece in pictures, so the list reads like the room.

Idea board
Keep the pieces you keep coming back to.
The secondhand dresser, the bigger rug, the sofa that comes in boxes. Save them from anywhere with a photo, a price and a note, and pass on the ones the floor plan says won’t fit.

Timeline & order-by dates
Order the slow pieces in time.
Made-to-order sofas take eight to fourteen weeks. Give the plan your move-in date and it counts back to an order-by week for each piece, with the measuring, the deliveries and the curtains on one timeline.

Recommendations
The questions a designer would ask.
Guides written for your rooms — what to buy first, what size sofa and rug suit the space, which fabrics survive kids and pets — and local stores once you add your town. Open one and it answers for your plan, with its own numbers and dates.

Furnishing goes room by room, and most of the money lands on a few big pieces — the sofa, the bed, the table — with a long tail of rugs, lamps, curtains and delivery that nobody totals until the card statement arrives. Pick the rooms you are furnishing, a budget tier and how much you are keeping, and each room gets its own lines priced at that tier, plus paint, delivery and assembly.
The slow pieces set the schedule: made-to-order sofas take eight to fourteen weeks. Give the plan your move-in or due date and it counts back to an order-by date for each one. Then draw each room on the floor plan — the same parts library as the renovation planner — and it checks the walkways, the gap between the sofa and the coffee table, the rug under the front legs, the TV distance and the room round the bed.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to furnish a room?
A living room runs about $1,500–2,000 at budget prices, $4,000–6,000 mid-range and well past $10,000 high-end; a bedroom about $1,000–2,500, $2,500–4,000 and up. Delivery, assembly and tax add another 15–30 %, which the plan carries as its own line.
How far ahead should I order furniture?
In-stock pieces arrive in days to two weeks; made-to-order upholstery takes eight to fourteen weeks and sometimes twenty. The plan puts an order-by date on the sofa, the bed and the dining set counted back from the date you need the room finished.
Will my sofa fit?
Measure every door, hall and stair turn it has to pass — a sofa about 36 in deep needs a 37–38 in clear opening. Then draw the room on the floor plan: it checks a walkway round the furniture, the room to pull out a dining chair or open a dresser, and the space beside the bed.
Should I use this or the renovation planner?
Use this to furnish — the furniture, rugs, lighting, curtains and paint. Use the Home Renovation Planner when walls, cabinets, tile or wiring change. They share the same floor plan library, so a kitchen you are not touching can still be drawn to furnish round it.
