Trust us when we say they will make your life a lot easier. When it comes to working with clients and other design professionals \u2013 visuals are better! Otherwise it can feel a lot like playing Marco Polo in the dark.\n\nTechnical drawings may not be the reason you want to become an Interior Decorator, but they are very important. You can\u2019t make a foolproof decor plan without them. Your clients wouldn\u2019t be too happy if that gorgeous grey suede sofa didn\u2019t fit in their living room! So, think of floorplanning as the bread to your butter. Once you nail it down, you can start working on the fun stuff!\n\nContinue reading for a peek into what you\u2019ll learn about floorplans in your interior decorating course![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/youtu.be\/f6TjoYbtvI4&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Types of floorplans<\/h3>\nDepending on what you are working on, you may need to use different types of floorplans. There are three main types- space plans, elevations and isometrics. As an interior decorator, you\u2019ll find yourself mostly using space plans.\n\nSpace plans show a bird\u2019s eye view of a given room. This allows anyone to visualize the space and the room\u2019s layout. The basic structure of a space plan includes any structural elements in a room that are fixed to the space. This is why designers draw things like walls, fireplaces, doors and windows first.\n\nSpace plans also allow designers to play with furniture layouts. Trust us &#8211; this is a lot more fun than hauling a sofa from corner to corner. Floorplans are also a great tool when shopping for furniture. If your clients need convincing of that chaise lounge, a floorplan can be just the tool to make it happen.\n<h3>Measuring<\/h3>\nMeasuring happens before the floorplan. Accuracy is key. Be sure to measure in the units typical of your industry. For most of you this will be feet and inches.\n\nThe easiest way to start is to measure the walls from east to west. Once you\u2019ve completed this and recorded your measurements, you can measure north to south. Depending on the room it can be slightly trickier. Baseboards make it harder to get accurate results. To avoid this, don\u2019t measure from one baseboard to the other. Use another part of the wall, and be sure to round to the nearest inch![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;11628&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Designer\u2019s scale<\/h3>\nScale is all about proportions. Your floorplan needs to be a smaller version of the actual space you are designing. Otherwise you won\u2019t be able to plan properly!\n\nBoth rooms and furniture are drawn to scale in floorplan drawings. This way you can get a good idea of how a room will feel once furniture is inside it. Drawing to scale also acts as a communication tool. If you are working with a contractor, a scaled drawing can provide them with room measurements and an idea of the finished product.\n\nYou\u2019ll be surprised at how easy it is to draw to scale. Basically, one unit on paper should equal one real life unit. For example, a one inch line on paper could equal one foot in real life. This would be a 1:12 scale. However, the scale used most often is a \u00bc scale. This means that for every foot in real life is a \u00bc inch on paper. Be sure to mark down the scale you choose on your drawing!\n\nWe know that all those ratios do not make it sound easy, but have some faith. There are a ton of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2015\/12\/top-floorplanning-software-for-design-professionals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tools<\/a> out there to help you out. Graphing paper is amazing! Plus special rulers exist that have scales marked on them. These six sided \u201carchitect\u2019s rulers\u201d can be found at any hardware store.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;11629&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Drawing your own floorplan<\/h3>\nWe hope you didn\u2019t think you only had one shot to draw a floorplan. In reality, a floorplan starts out as a simple sketch. The first thing you need to do is mark down the walls. Don\u2019t worry about making sure they are straight. At this point you just need a basic outline with your recorded measurements.\n\nAfter outlining the walls you can start worrying about some of the other elements. Draw in any fixed elements like doors and windows. With mobile elements like doors, make sure you note which way the door swings open. Otherwise you may run into trouble later on. Elements like fireplaces or kitchen islands should be drawn to scale. You want to make sure you have a good estimate of how much area they take up in real life.\n\nYou also need to take lighting into account. The most important ones to include are wall and ceiling fixtures. Unless your clients are doing a full renovation, they likely don\u2019t want to start moving electrical wires! Lighting will play a role in where you position furniture as well. You wouldn\u2019t want a dining room table in the corner of the room if the chandelier is in the middle!\n\nYour first floorplan probably won\u2019t look pretty. But it will be a good start. Make sure you re-create a more polished copy to show your clients and any industry professionals.\n\nThis is just a basic guide to floorplans. Hopefully you have learned a bit about their importance and what goes into them. With some practice and studying, we\u2019re sure you will be able to whip them up in no time![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;11630&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;none&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Think you\u2019re ready to master drawing floorplans?
