How to draw your own 2D Floor Plan?

2D floor plans give a bird’s eye view of a property, outlining the basic details such as the layout, walls, doors, windows, stairs. They can be furnished or unfurnished, depending on the intended purpose of the drawing. 2D floor plans are simple, flat drawings which do not show any angles or depth to the shapes or spaces.

HomeByMe 2D floor plans can be created for online use or printed in high-quality resolution. Facilitate your home renovation project or office refurbishment by planning your design with the HomeByMe floor planner.

Design tips for drawing 2D floor plans:

• Function – Consider the function of the rooms you are creating to make sure their proximity to one another is convenient, without disturbing the peace. Open-plan kitchens are popular for increasing conviviality in the dining and living areas, however should be distanced from quiet rooms such as bedrooms and the study.
• Circulation – Ensure that your rooms and corridors are large enough for you to move easily around the house and that they will fit your intended furniture.
• Customization – Your home should cater to your interests and lifestyle. If you love to cook and envisage that your kitchen will be the central hub of your home, consider making it a large, open space. If you’re a fitness fanatic, a home gym could be a great addition.
• Future-proof – If you plan to stay in the home for years to come, try to take into account how your needs might evolve over time, for example for a growing family or home business.
• Practicality – A loft might seem like a great idea, until you consider the soaring electricity bill for heating such an open space or the impractical mezzanine bedroom. Make sure you take into account practical things like cleaning, maintenance, and running costs before committing to a specific design aesthetic.
