Using Open-Source Tools to Plan Furniture and Room Layouts

Has anyone here used open-source design software to plan a living room or dining area before buying furniture?

Tools for creating basic floor plans and 3D room layouts seem really useful for checking whether larger storage pieces will fit comfortably without making a room feel overcrowded. For example, when considering something like a sideboard cabinet, having the width, depth, and placement mapped out digitally beforehand could make choosing the right size much easier.

I’d be interested to know which open-source tools people recommend for basic interior layouts and furniture visualization. Are there any beginner-friendly options that let you create accurate room dimensions without requiring advanced CAD experience?
