Updated 17 Oct 2026

The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me plan a room layout.

Room size: [approx L x W]
Doors and windows: [rough]
Furniture that must stay: [list with rough sizes if known]
How we use the room: [TV, play, WFH]
Problems now: [walkways, glare, clutter]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. Two layout options with pros and cons.
2. Clearances to watch (doors, drawers).
3. What to measure again before buying anything.
4. A simple sketch description I can tape out on the floor.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, diagnoses or legal outcomes. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. approx L x W: a short note you already have. rough: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
