Explanation & Answer

All you need to do to create a proportional model is divide both dimensions by the same number. For example, your room dimensions(assuming feet) can be scaled down to any scale factor you wish but first, to make things easier, convert them to inches. Your dimensions are now: 120 x 132 inches. Divide that by twelve an you get again 10 x 11 except they are inches. You have a scale factor of twelve now you can use that scale factor with your other pieces of furniture. 


***Convert from feet to inches first********

Hope this helped :-)
