How to Draw a Floor Plan

A floor plan is the foundation of every interior design project. It tells the full story of a space — how
people move through it, where the light falls, what fits and what doesn't. Getting it right means
understanding not just the big dimensions, but all the small ones that catch students out: skirting boards
eating into floor space, door swings blocking furniture, radiators dictating where a sofa can actually go.
This guide takes you through the process layer by layer, from your first site visit measurements to
placing the final furniture piece at the correct scale.
