What is a floor plan?

A floor plan is a scaled diagram or drawing that represents a room or building's layout, showing the arrangement and dimensions of walls, rooms, doors, windows, and other architectural features. Floor plans are commonly used in architecture, interior design, and real estate to plan, visualize, and communicate the spatial organization and design of a space. They help provide a clear, bird's-eye view of how a space is structured and can be used for various purposes, such as construction, remodeling, or space optimization.

Create your own floor plan

Creating a floor plan is easier than you might think. FigJam's online whiteboard provides the perfect platform to design and share your floor plans. Here are the steps to get started:

  1. Choose the Floor Plan Template, which already includes shapes you can use, copy, or modify to represent objects in your room.
  2. Ensure accuracy by modeling to scale. If you're working with an existing space, take precise measurements of walls, doors, appliances, and furniture. Use the grid on the canvas to maintain scale accuracy (e.g., one square equals one foot or one meter).
  3. Add architectural elements like doors, windows, and appliances using shapes or images to visualize them within your floor plan.
  4. If necessary, include furniture, and ensure it's to scale for an accurate representation of your room.

Tips to make an effective floor plan

To create an effective floor plan for your project, consider the following factors:

  1. Be Specific

    Focus on the areas directly relevant to your project, whether it's a single room or an entire floor. Avoid including unnecessary spaces to save time and streamline your planning.

  2. Accurate Measurements

    Base your decisions on precise measurements and dimensions. If you're planning for an existing space, measure it accurately. For hypothetical plans, use logical and realistic measurements.

  3. Individual Room Design

    When designing individual rooms, remember that there's more to consider beyond doors, windows, and furniture. Pay attention to how the room flows, as the arrangement of elements can impact the overall functionality and aesthetics. For example, consider how the placement of an office desk relative to the door and window affects the room's usability and visual appeal.
