Abstract

An automated furniture arrangement system using a specialized dataset and vision-language model with procedural reasoning and preference optimization to generate valid and plausible room layouts.

Furnished floor plans support real-estate visualization, interior design, and architectural workflows, yet automatic furnishing remains challenged by limited real-world data and the need to satisfy interacting geometric and functional constraints. We ask whether professional furnishing knowledge can be learned from real floor plans using a pretrained model, enabling direct constraint-aware layout generation without relying on costly iterative agentic inference. We introduce AntPlan, a curated dataset of 505 real professional architectural floor plans with dense furniture annotations spanning 92 object classes and ten residential room categories, and Architect-Ant, a framework for generating furniture layouts. Architect-Ant represents layouts with an editable coordinate-based DSL and first learns professional furnishing patterns through supervised fine-tuning. It is then optimized with GRPO using a Layout Rule Score (LRS) that aggregates geometric and functional constraints derived from professional plans, providing outcome-level supervision without prescribed reasoning traces. Experiments against diverse state-of-the-art baselines show that Architect-Ant combines low geometric violation rates with high functional completeness, while qualitative results more closely reflect real-world residential furnishing patterns. The resulting layouts remain object-level editable and can be converted into 3D scenes.

We introduce a new approach to automatic furniture layout generation for real architectural floor plans that combines a curated real-world dataset with rule-guided reinforcement learning. We release AntPlan, 505 professional floor plans with dense annotations across 92 furniture classes and 10 room types, and Architect-Ant, a framework that fine-tunes a vision-language model on these professional layouts and then optimizes it with GRPO using a room-aware Layout Rule Score built from geometric and functional constraints, without requiring prescribed reasoning traces. The method achieves the highest functional completeness and overall layout-rule scores among compared baselines while keeping geometric violations low, and generates layouts substantially faster than iterative agentic approaches, since no search or critique loop is needed at inference time. The resulting layouts stay object-level editable and convert directly into furnished 3D scenes. We believe this work, along with the AntPlan dataset, may be useful for researchers working on floor-plan furnishing, indoor scene synthesis, and constraint-aware layout generation more broadly.
