Calculation method

Calculation method

Rug edge clearances: left, front, right, back (cm)

Rug x,y, room width−x−rug width, room depth−y−rug depth. Negative means a boundary crossing.

Furniture footprint covered by rug (%)

Intersection area of each furniture rectangle with rug / furniture area × 100.

Rectangles outside room boundaries

Count the rug and each furniture footprint crossing any room boundary.

Furniture overlap pairs

Count furniture pairs with positive overlapping area; shared edges are not overlaps.

Symbols and units
a
Room width (cm)
b
Room depth (cm)
c
Rug: left x, front y, width, depth cm
d
Furniture: name, left x, front y, width, depth cm

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Top-down axis-aligned rectangle intersections, with dimensions measured from one front-left room origin. It reports conflicts rather than moving furniture. Door swings, walking routes and aesthetic placement are excluded.
