How to draw floor plans: A beginner's guide to creating accurate floor plans

As an aspiring interior designer, it's important to be able to create accurate floor plans to bring your design ideas to life. Here's a beginner's guide to drawing floor plans:

1. Measure the space you want to design and record the dimensions.

2. Scale the measurements down to fit on a piece of grid paper. For example, if 1 inch on the paper represents 1 foot in real life, then a room that is 10 feet by 12 feet would be drawn as 10 squares by 12 squares on the paper.

3. Draw the outline of the space, including any doors, windows, and other features.

4. Add in the furniture and fixtures you want to include, making sure they fit within the space.

5. Double-check your measurements and make any necessary adjustments.

With practice, you'll be able to create accurate and detailed floor plans that will help bring your interior design ideas to life.
