The bedroom measures 3.7 meters in length from north to south and 3.5 meters from east to west. When choosing between a 1.5-meter or 1.8-meter bed, don’t assume there's enough space to make a decision on your own. A professional designer would quickly recommend the 1.5-meter bed as it fits better in this space.
It might seem surprising how quickly an interior designer can provide such accurate measurements. This is because they rely on industry-standard dimensions that are commonly followed by manufacturers. Each designer also has their own set of reference sizes, which falls under the field of ergonomics. This is a fundamental part of their training. According to one designer we spoke with, while every home layout is unique, human body proportions remain fairly consistent. Even if on-site furniture is made to match specific sizes, understanding basic dimensions helps homeowners choose more practical and comfortable furnishings.
**Every piece of furniture has a standard body**
As Designer Chen Ping explained, the depth of a wardrobe is typically around 600 mm. If you're installing a sliding door, it may need to be slightly wider to accommodate the track. This measurement is based on average shoulder width, which usually doesn't exceed 600 mm. A 600 mm deep wardrobe ensures that clothes hanging sideways won't hit the door. If the family members have narrower shoulders, a 550 mm deep wardrobe could work. However, anything less than 500 mm is generally too small for practical use.
For cabinets, the depth usually ranges between 550 mm and 600 mm, while the depth of lower cabinets is around 300–350 mm. The distance between countertops is typically 800 mm, and the height of the cabinets is around 850 mm. These measurements are designed with the average housewife’s height in mind—between 150 cm and 165 cm. These dimensions ensure ease of use. Sales representatives at cabinet brands often help adjust these sizes according to the customer’s needs. If you're having custom cabinets made, it's important to note these dimensions.

**Shoe depth is guaranteed to be 300 mm**
Other furniture items like shoe cabinets, dining tables, and chairs also follow specific "standard body" guidelines. The depth of a shoe cabinet should be at least 300 mm, and if the space is tight, a diagonal partition can help. The typical bed height is around 450 mm, while dining tables are usually 750 mm high. Dining chairs range from 400 mm to 450 mm in height, and bookshelves should be at least 22 cm deep to hold books properly. These dimensions come from four different designers who shared their real-world experience. These standards are very close to national regulations and serve as a useful guide for beginners.
Designers also point out that Western furniture tends to be larger than Chinese furniture. For example, Chinese dining tables are typically 700–800 mm high, while Western tables are at least 760 mm. Chair heights also increase proportionally.
**There is also a safe distance in the decoration**
Beyond furniture, there are also important safety distances to consider during home decoration. Senior designer Mr. Duan advises homeowners to review construction specifications before starting any renovation. It's essential to think about dimensions early on, even during the initial planning stages like laying electrical wiring.
He mentioned that one of the most concerning issues he sees is the height of electrical outlets and the safety of floor-to-ceiling windows. “If the outlet is too low, there’s a risk of electric shock when adults are cleaning the floor or children are playing nearby.†He also emphasized the importance of proper railings. “Stair railings and window guards should not have gaps wider than 11 cm, and their height should be no less than 1.05 meters. If the spacing is too wide or the railing is too low, children could climb out.â€
