How to Draw a Home Plan

Step 1. Make a list of the number of bathrooms and bedrooms you will require. Then add a list of amenities such as garage, office and laundry room.

Step 2. Search design websites and magazines to see if you may find some features that you may want in your home.The type of windows you want will influence the size of your rooms. All of your decisions should be made before you begin designing, although you can go back and add things later.

Step 3. On your graph paper, draw an initial plan. This does not have to be professional-looking, it just has to convey the basics of what you want. This will help you when you begin using the software or website to do the home planning.

Step 4. Sign up for an account with an online house planner like Floor Planner that is free to use, or install the software that you have purchased for this purpose.

Step 5. Draw up your first room, then the website or software will ask you for additional rooms.

Step 6. Complete your home and save your work. Go over all the details and make sure that you are satisfied with them. Change anything that you were not satisfied with and save the changes. This will become your blueprints that will be used by contractors to build your home.
