I have attached a picture of a floor plan of a property can anyone help me calculate the floor space so I can see if 2 sofas fit.
Its the part I've drawn the red line around I need to know.
I have asked chat gpt but I don't trust what it's saying.
Thanks.

Do you need to fit a table there as well?

I'm assuming the 7.07 is into the kitchen area, so this area is probably a maximum of 4x4.67 so about 18 square metres.

You'll need circulating space as well, so if you really wanted to fit two sofas (and no table) you could put them facing each other horizontally as per the floor plan, leaving around 1 m between them and the openings (so you have 2.67m for them to fit into). Assuming the sofas need 1m between them to be even usable, you could fit two sofas with a maximum of 80cm depth each.

Wouldn't be a great use of space though.

Alternately you could have them L shaped, with one under the windows on the left. That would work better.

The previous sofas were positioned like this and yes a table needs to fit too.

So the rooms about 4.7 x 3.7

minus the route to the doors into the bedroom and a route around the kitchen island and to get to the balcony ( and assuming you won’t have bar stools at the island)
you have approx

3 x 3 of useable space for a seating area
A couple of 2 seaters or possibly one 3 seater ( located adj left wall ) and a 2 seater

I don't think the sofas in that photo are 2m+ long? Given that between the doors to the balcony and to the bedroom you have 4.67m, if you put the shortest sofa perpendicular to the balcony doors while still being able to open them and get past the sofa (call it 80cm minimum distance) you would be going 2.83m into the room, then you would have the other sofa which is 83 deep so you are at 3.66, so you have 1m to fit the table and chairs, which isn't enough.

It depends on where the room measurements have been taken from. If the width is the short blue you might fit 2 sofas in, if it’s the longer green line it would be a tight squeeze. An L shaped sofa might be better,

AI said it estimates this, I gave it the picture with the red lines on it

An L shaped sofa probably would be better but I need a sofa and sofabed (matching)

the 7m must be the length from the windows in the kitchen to the windows opposite, not from the balcony to the bedroom. Otherwise the layout with the two bedrooms being around 3m doesn't make sense.

So it's around half of the 7m (a bit more) times the other length (4.67m)
