"takes too much room" -sofa

The "-sofa" is to remove references to this particular sentence from the search results.
You're right that there are Google results with this pattern, but there are 49,000 results without "up" and 312,000 with "up". I think it's safe to say that "takes too much room" is not a very natural sentence in English.
I've also checked in a number of dictionaries just now and don't see this definition of the word "take". Looking up "take up" in any dictionary, however, shows that it refers to occupying space.
