## How can I check if new furniture fits my living room?

Ask Gemini to build a to-scale room planner in Canvas, then drag your furniture around in it. As of October 2026, Canvas is in the Gemini app, and the source built this with Gemini 4 Argon, which needs a Google AI Pro or Ultra plan. If you'd rather not pay, give the same prompt to ChatGPT or Claude with exact sizes typed in. If you're shopping online, paste product links so the sizes come from the listings.

## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
Build me an interactive room planner app I can use right here. My room is [ROOM SIZE, e.g. 14 ft by 12 ft] with [DOORS AND WINDOWS, e.g. door on left wall, window opposite]. Here are the pieces I'm thinking about: [FURNITURE LIST OR LINKS, e.g. sofa 84 x 36 in, table 48 x 24 in]. If I gave you product links, look up each item's size and color and use them. Show a top-down view of the room drawn to scale, with every piece as a shape I can drag and rotate. Let me change the room size, add or remove pieces, and see a warning when something blocks a door or leaves less than 30 inches to walk through. Add a short list of which pieces fit and which don't.
```

## Step by step

1. Measure your room and note doors and windows
2. Open Gemini and pick Canvas from the tools menu
3. Paste the prompt with your room size and furniture links or sizes
4. Drag pieces around in the planner and ask for changes until it fits

## What you'll get

A clickable, to-scale room planner with your furniture in it, plus a quick list of what fits and what blocks the way.
