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:
- Choose the Floor Plan Template, which already includes shapes you can use, copy, or modify to represent objects in your room.
- 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).
- Add architectural elements like doors, windows, and appliances using shapes or images to visualize them within your floor plan.
- If necessary, include furniture, and ensure it's to scale for an accurate representation of your room.
