# AI Room Planner

> An AI room planner helps you decide where the furniture goes — bed, sofa, desk, table — and shows you the result. On Kenerate AI it's two pictures: a top-down layout image drawn by Nano Banana 2.1 from your room size and furniture list, then a photo of your own room with that layout placed in it by Seedream 5.0 Pro, keeping the walls, window and door. Be clear on what it isn't: it makes images, not a measured plan — there's no drag-and-drop furniture or scale, so measure the room and check walkways yourself before you move or buy anything.

## Key facts
- What you get: Images: a top-down layout plan and your room photo furnished
- Layout picture: Nano Banana 2.1 · from a text description of the room
- Layout in your photo: Seedream 5.0 Pro · keeps walls, window, door and camera angle
- See it from another side: Camera Angle in Edit Studio · 7.5 credits
- Write real sizes on it: Text and Shapes in Edit Studio
- To scale / drag-and-drop?: No — use a measured planner app for that
- Free plan model: Qwen Image 3.0 (AI Edit, up to 3 images)
- Watermark: None

## Steps
1. Measure the room — Wall lengths, door and its swing, windows, radiators, sockets — and the size of each piece of furniture you're keeping.
2. Draw the layout picture — In /app/image with Nano Banana 2.1, describe the room and the furniture and ask for a clean top-down plan. Sign in free for 25 starter credits.
3. Place it in your room photo — Upload a photo of the room to Seedream 5.0 Pro and describe where each piece goes, plus “keep the same walls, window, door and camera angle”.
4. Check before you move anything — Compare with your measurements, keep a walkway of about 36 inches, and try a second layout if it feels tight.

## In depth

### Can AI plan a room layout?
Yes for ideas, no for measurements. “AI room planner” covers two quite different kinds of tool, and it's worth knowing which one you need before you start:
- Image-based planners (Kenerate AI, and most “room planner AI” sites): you describe the room or upload a photo, and a model draws the layout. Fast, cheap, good for comparing three ideas in ten minutes. Sizes are by eye, nothing is to scale, and there's no furniture you can drag.
- Measured planner apps (Planner 5D, RoomSketcher, Homestyler, SketchUp and similar): you enter the walls and pick furniture with real dimensions, then move it around a to-scale plan or 3D view. Slower, but the numbers are real.
- A good order: sketch two or three layouts as pictures, pick one, then check it with a tape measure or a measured app before anything moves.

### How to plan a room with AI, step by step
The whole workflow on Kenerate, with what each step costs (credits read from the app's price code on 22 October 2026):
- 1. Measure the room: each wall, the door and which way it swings, windows and their height, radiators, sockets, built-ins. Note the size of every piece you're keeping.
- 2. Draw a top-down layout picture with Nano Banana 2.1 in the image studio — 21 credits at 1K. Describe the room shape, the door and window positions and each piece of furniture.
- 3. Make a second and third layout with one change each — bed on the other wall, desk under the window — so you're comparing one decision at a time.
- 4. Write your real measurements on the picture you like with Text and arrows in Edit Studio; those are local tools, so the numbers are exactly what you typed.
- 5. Place the chosen layout in a photo of your room with Seedream 5.0 Pro — 13.5 credits at 1K or 1.5K, 27 at 2K — and pin the walls, window, door and camera angle.
- 6. Look at it from the doorway with Camera Angle (7.5 credits), then check walkways and door swings against your measurements.

### AI room design from a photo: put the layout in your own room
A top-down plan is hard to feel. The same layout in a photo of your room — your floor, your window light — tells you much faster whether a sofa blocks the view or a desk crowds the door. Shoot from a corner or the doorway, level, in daylight, with as much floor visible as possible, and clear loose clutter first (Magic Eraser can remove what you can't move).
Then write the prompt as placements, not styles:
- “Arrange this room: [piece] on [wall], [piece] facing [window / door], [rug] under [piece].”
- “Keep a clear walkway from the door to the window, nothing in the door swing.”
- “Keep the same walls, window, door, radiator, floor and camera angle; keep the existing [piece] where it is.”
- Add product photos of the real furniture as extra references if you're choosing between models.

### Which clearances should you check before you move anything?
This is the part no image model does for you. US homes have no single legal furniture-spacing rule, so a sensible benchmark is the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, which set minimum spaces for public buildings and hotel rooms. If anyone in the home uses a wheelchair, walker or crutches, plan to these numbers; otherwise treat them as comfortable defaults:
- Walking routes: at least 36 inches clear width (ADA 403.5.1), narrowing to 32 inches only for short stretches of up to 24 inches.
- Turning space: a 60-inch diameter circle, or a T-shaped space within a 60-inch square (ADA 304.3).
- Clear floor space beside things you need to reach — a bed, a desk, a wardrobe: 30 by 48 inches (ADA 305.3).
- Doorways: at least 32 inches clear width with the door open 90 degrees (ADA 404.2.3) — and nothing parked in the door's swing.
- Your local building code and lease rules come first; these are planning benchmarks, not a code check of your home.

### Room planner, room redesign, floor plan or staging — which page do you need?
They overlap, so here's the split on Kenerate:
- Moving furniture around one room → this page.
- Same layout, new look (sofa, colours, rug, style) → the AI interior design generator.
- A whole flat or house as a plan → the AI floor plan generator.
- An empty room photo for a property listing → virtual staging AI, which also covers the disclosure rules.
- Bed, bedding, lighting and bedroom styles → the AI bedroom design generator.

### Layout prompts by room
Start from one of these and swap in your own sizes and furniture:
- Living room — “top-down plan of a 12 × 15 ft living room, door bottom-left, window centred on the top wall: three-seat sofa facing the window, two armchairs, coffee table, TV unit under the window, clear path from the door”.
- Bedroom — “top-down plan of an 11 × 12 ft bedroom: queen bed centred on the wall opposite the window with a nightstand on each side, wardrobe beside the door, nothing in front of the window”.
- Studio apartment — “top-down plan of a 20 × 14 ft studio: bed in the corner away from the door behind a low bookcase, two-seat sofa and a small dining table near the window, kitchen run on the right wall”.
- Home office — “top-down plan of a 9 × 10 ft spare room: desk side-on to the window, chair with room to roll back, bookcase on the wall behind, a reading chair in the corner”.
- Dining room — “top-down plan of a 12 × 12 ft dining room: round table for six centred under the light, sideboard on the long wall, walkway all the way round”.

### From picture to a plan you can trust
Use the AI pictures to choose a direction and to show other people what you mean. When you've picked one, mark it out on the floor with painter's tape or cardboard at real size, open every door and drawer, and walk through it. If you need a plan that is drawn to scale for a contractor, redraw it in a measured planner app or with a designer — the AI image is the brief, not the drawing.

## FAQ
Q: What is an AI room planner?
A: A tool that helps you work out where furniture goes in a room and shows you the result. Measured planner apps let you drag furniture onto a to-scale plan; image-based planners like Kenerate AI draw the layout as a picture — a top-down plan from your description, or your own room photo with the furniture placed — so you can compare ideas quickly before measuring them properly.

Q: Can AI plan my room layout from a photo?
A: It can show a layout in your photo, but it doesn't measure it. Upload the room to Seedream 5.0 Pro, say where each piece goes — “sofa on the long wall facing the window, desk under the window” — and add “keep the same walls, window, door and camera angle”. The model guesses sizes from the picture, so check every piece against the tape measure before you move or buy anything.

Q: Is Kenerate a room planner app with drag-and-drop furniture?
A: No. Kenerate AI makes images: a layout picture and a furnished version of your room photo. It has no drag-and-drop furniture, no scale and no 3D model or CAD export. If you need exact dimensions, use a measured planner such as Planner 5D, RoomSketcher, Homestyler or SketchUp, and use Kenerate to see what the finished room could look like.

Q: Is there a free AI room planner?
A: You can start free. A new Kenerate account gets 25 starter credits, and Qwen Image 3.0 is on the free plan — an edit with one room photo costs 9.9 credits. Nano Banana 2.1, the best pick for clean top-down layout pictures, costs 21 credits at 1K; Seedream 5.0 Pro, for placing the layout in your room photo, costs 13.5 at 1K or 1.5K. Downloads have no watermark.

Q: What's the difference between an AI room planner and AI room redesign?
A: A room planner changes where things go — the bed moves to another wall, the desk goes under the window. A room redesign keeps the layout and changes the look: new sofa, colours, rug and style. For a restyle of the same layout, use the AI interior design generator; for an empty room you're listing for sale, use virtual staging.

Q: How much space should I leave between furniture?
A: There's no single rule for homes, but the US 2010 ADA Standards give a useful benchmark: walking routes at least 36 inches wide, a 60-inch circle to turn a wheelchair, 30 by 48 inches of clear floor space next to things people need to reach, and doorways with 32 inches of clear width. They're written for public buildings and hotels, not private homes — but they're the numbers to plan to if anyone in the home uses a wheelchair or walker.

Q: Can it show my room from a different angle?
A: Yes, as a picture. In Edit Studio, the Camera Angle tool re-shoots the scene from another viewpoint for 7.5 credits, so you can see a layout from the door instead of from the window. It invents what the original photo didn't show — the wall behind the camera, say — so treat that part as a guess.

Q: Can I use photos of the furniture I'm thinking of buying?
A: Yes. Add the product photos as extra references next to your room photo and say where each goes — “put the sofa in image 2 on the left wall, the rug in image 3 under it”. Nano Banana 2.1 takes up to 14 images, Seedream 5.0 Pro up to 10. Scale is the weak point: the model sizes the sofa by eye, so measure the wall and the sofa before ordering.

Q: Which rooms can I plan?
A: Living rooms, bedrooms, studio apartments, home offices, dining rooms, guest rooms and open-plan spaces all work the same way: describe the room, the door and window positions and the furniture, then compare two or three layouts. Kitchens and bathrooms have plumbing and fixed appliances, so they have their own pages with the relevant clearances.
