How to draw a floor plan
A floor plan looks technical, but drawing a useful one is refreshingly simple. You do not need CAD or training — just a tape measure and a grid.
Measure and scale
Start by measuring the room: each wall's length, and note where doors and windows sit. Then pick a scale so the room fits your page or screen — the plan just has to be proportional, every metre the same number of squares. In this tool you set how much a grid square means (say 0.5 m), and as you draw, each wall is labelled with its real length, so you can match your measurements exactly. Getting the scale right is what separates a plan you can trust from a rough doodle.
Trace and furnish
Now trace the walls: click corner to corner; the points snap to the grid so lines stay straight and square. Close the outline, then add internal walls the same way. Drop in furniture — sized to the same scale, so if the sofa overlaps the doorway on screen, it will in real life too. That is the whole point: to test arrangements and clearances before you lift anything. Label the rooms, export a PNG, and you have a plan to share with a landlord, a partner or a removals firm — drawn in minutes, for free, without a single measurement leaving your device.
