How to Draw Room Designs
A great room design shows off your creativity, and can often save money in the process of creating a business or home. With a small amount of work, you can come up with proper spacing, color schemes and furniture arrangements for the room.
Supplies:
- Architectural ruler
- Trace paper
- Tape measure
- Take some measuring tape to the length of the walls. Begin in the corner and work around the entire room. Write down the distances on a sketch of the room and include where the doors and windows break the plane of the walls. Record the window and door heights, as well as the distance between the window sills and floor.
- Sketch a view of the space with an architectural ruler. Include doors, windows, or any other features that can affect the layout. Mark where the electrical outlets, phone jacks, and cable outlets are located.
- Sketch elevations of the walls in your room with the ruler. Cover the elevations with some trace paper to draw in some design elements such as drapes, furniture, or wallpaper.
- Copy the last elevations with the trace paper overlays in place. The final version of the room design can include the elements that were drawn before. Color the finished product with markers, colored pencils, or pastels. After all of this, you have finished drawing a room design. Completing the design provides you with great direction when completing the designing of the actual room. The final result is sure to be fantastic.
