There are a couple
of ways that you can check a layout. The first, make a
scale drawing of your room using either some graph paper
or your computer. Then make scale cutouts of the pieces
that you want in the room. This process will allow you to
move the furniture around without a lot of effort or check
to see if the pieces will fit without moving them in
first! 
If you're not good
at visualizing with a drawing, then try it life size.
Trace the measurements of your furniture onto some craft
paper or out of date wrapping paper. Cut the various
pieces of "furniture" to size and take them into the room.
Lay the pieces out on the floor to get an idea of how they
will fit in the room. If you're worried about how high
they will sit on the wall, mark the height of piece on the
wall with some low tack painter's tape.
