Scale Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator determines the proportional scale between a room's dimensions and furniture dimensions.
Purpose: It helps interior designers and homeowners ensure furniture is appropriately sized for a given space.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The ratio shows how many times larger the room is compared to the furniture piece.
Details: Proper scaling ensures furniture fits comfortably in a space without appearing too large or too small.
Tips: Enter the room dimension and corresponding furniture dimension in meters. Both values must be > 0.
Q1: What's an ideal scale ratio?
A: Generally, ratios between 3:1 and 5:1 work well for most furniture in living spaces.
Q2: Should I use length, width, or height?
A: Calculate scale for each dimension separately to ensure proper proportions.
Q3: How does this apply to multiple furniture pieces?
A: Calculate scale for each major piece relative to the room's dimensions.
Q4: What if my furniture has irregular dimensions?
A: Use the largest dimension (length, width, or height) that impacts room flow.
Q5: Does this account for walking space?
A: No, this is purely dimensional. Allow additional space for circulation around furniture.
