Avoid costly mistakes by space planning. It only takes a few minutes to do and several furniture manufacturers offer "Room Planners" to help you. They really are easy to use even if you're not great on the computer. Manufacturers offer templates for their products but also for "generic" furniture and, of course, architectural and structural details - all of which you can re-size.
These are also great tools when you are considering buying a new home. Will your furniture fit in to the rooms? Don't forget to leave room for pathways around furniture, especially in the Dining Room.
Here are links to a few that I use:

If you have trouble "visualizing" what something will look like as a finished product in specific fabrics, go to DREXEL HERITAGE'S site and have fun:

HICKORY CHAIR also offers customization on many of their casegood (wood products)

"Measure twice cut once" makes a lot of sense. As always, if you are challenged even with these tools, contact me and save yourself a lot of time, energy, frustration and money.
