Abstract

We present a system that automatically suggests the furniture layout when one moves into a new house, taking into account the furniture layout in the previous house. In our method, the input to our system comprises the floor plans of the previous and new houses, and the furniture layout in the previous house. The furniture layout for the whole house is suggested. This method builds on a previous furniture layout method with which the furniture layout for a single room only is computed. In this paper, we propose a new method that can suggest the furniture layout for multiple rooms in the new house. To deal with this problem, we took a heuristic approach in developing a cost function by adding some new cost functions to the previous method. We show various layouts computed using our method, which demonstrate the effectiveness of it.
