How to Create a Floor Plan

Creating a floor plan will help us visualize how everything will lay out in your space. Once you have your floor plan set, the design can start to take life.

Room Measurement Guide

Not sure how to measure your space properly? No worries, we can help you learn how to draw a basic floor plan. Follow these steps to create a floor plan for your space. Before we start - there are a few things that you will need to get started.

What you need to measure your space:

• 8 x 11 white paper

• Measuring Tape

• Pen

Step 1: Drawing the floor plan

When you are drawing the floor plan - please include all doors, windows, doorways and closets.

Step 2: Overall measurements

It is important to do the outer dimensions of the space first because it will help to ensure you measure everything else correctly. Below is an example of what overall measurements look like. You can write either all in inches or feet/inches.

Step 3: Measuring the details

Measure the doors, windows, and doorway. Please note that you don't include door or window frames - only measure from where the actual window (glass) and door begins and ends. You can see the examples below.

Once you're done with your floor plan drawing, including measurements - use either your smartphone or tablet to snap a picture of it so you can send it to us to get started with your project. Upload the floor plan into the design questionnaire and/or email it to us at littleboomdesigns@gmail.com.  If you have some other details of your space such as stairs, bay windows, curved walls, niches, etc., we'll work with you on how to get the proper measurements of those as they are a bit tricky.
