Have you always wanted to design your own home on your own? Draw a general plan of it with all the rooms. Building your own project is actually easier than you think.

Steps

1. 1 Think about what you want as a result. Before you start creating your plan, think about what kind of home you would like. It is necessary to know in advance how many rooms and floors there will be.
2. 2 Draw the perimeter of the house with a pencil, thus marking its outer walls. Take a large piece of graph paper for convenience.
   • After drawing the perimeter of the house, draw a parallel line next to it. This line should be adjacent to the first, for example, one division from it, but the exact distance between them is not important. This is done for beauty and to accentuate the thickness of the outer walls. If the house will have a second floor, take another sheet of paper and place it on top of the first. Thus, through the top sheet of paper, you will see the outer walls drawn on the bottom sheet, bounding the second floor.
3. 3 The interior walls can now be drawn; as with outside walls, use a double line. Do not forget to include in the drawing any rooms you have planned. At the same time, many forget about a utility room designed to accommodate a heater, washing machine, dryer, water filter, and the like.
4. 4 Draw windows and doors. After you draw all the walls, you can start drawing the windows and two. They can vary in size. For example, the front door is usually larger than the door leading to the washroom.
   • To draw a window, erase a section of the wall where it will be located. Draw a line between the walls. Add thickness to the window by drawing another line extending outward from the first one notch. Since these lines will lie between the lines of the graph paper, you will need a ruler to draw them. As a rule, rooms facing the outer walls have at least one window, but the exact number of windows in each room depends on the designer, that is, you.
   • Doors are a little easier to draw than windows. Simply erase the area in the wall for the door with a rubber band, then connect the walls with a straight line running down the middle. Unlike a window, a second outside line does not need to be drawn.
5. 5 Find a piece with templates to draw the rest of the objects using them. It's time to tackle the interior details. The house will need plumbing sinks, a toilet, a bathroom, closets, a stove, and a refrigerator. All this can be drawn using special templates. If you do not have such templates, just indicate on the plan the locations of various objects, without going into details - if only it was clear where what is located.
6. 6 To get an idea of ​​what you will end up with and how the rooms will look, try drawing pieces of furniture into the drawing. This step is optional, but it's best to imagine what the inside of the house will look like. You can draw beds, TV, sofas, tables and chairs. For furniture, as well as for household objects, there are also special templates. Don't go into small details and draw pieces of furniture in the form of squares and rectangles, using lines on graph paper.
7. 7 Go to the yard layout. There is no need to apply a lot of detail until the next step. Just mark the porch and driveway. Unlike walls, you don't need to specify the thickness of the porch edges, so use a single line.
8. 8 Use a thin black pen for writing. Sign the purpose of each room. So that the inscriptions do not take up too much space, you can use abbreviations, for example, designate the toilet room as TK. To make the labels easy to read, write in block letters. Then trace with a black pen the pencil lines you made earlier. Paint over household objects and furniture with colored markers, and use brown for cabinets. The porch can be painted over with brown or gray felt-tip pen, depending on whether it is wood or cement. Shade the lawn with grass around the house with green. You can use blue for windows, and black or gray for walls.
