Furniture Layout Simulation for Multiple Rooms

Abstract

When you move into a new home, you need to arrange the living room furniture. But furniture placement is challenging because it requires jointly optimizing a variety of functional and visual criteria. So, many researchers have developed computer-aided systems that help people, who have no prior knowledge on interior design, to arrange the furniture layout. Merrell et al. developed such a system based on a set of interior design guidelines. This system generates layout suggestions by using some cost function. But this system layouts for a single room. In this paper, we extend the Merrell’s method to layouts for multiple rooms by adding a new translation rule and cost functions. We test our system whether we can suggest layouts for multiple rooms.
