Drawing a simple floor plan for one room or all the rooms a house is not too difficult. It just needs time, care and attention to detail.
Take it step by step and an accurate plan will be the result.
An accurate floor plan is a copy of the shape of the room and all its measurements transferred onto paper.
Measurements are best made in centimetres and millimetres but could also be in inches.
A clear and simple floor plan drawn onto graph paper is extremely useful when you are trawling around the stores looking at household items and wondering if they will fit into your room.
To draw your floor plan you will need to gather some items together.
A sharpened pencil
A soft rubber
One or two A3 or A4 sized sheets of graph paper with 10mm to 1cm squares
A notebook
A metal tape measure to give accurate measurements. (a material one is not so accurate)
Drawing a Rough Plan of your Room
Draw a rough picture of the shape of the floor of the room noting the positions of the doors, windows, corners, immovable, built-in or fitted items such as cupboards or fire places.
You should end up with a rough sketch of the floor plan only.
Only you will need to recognise and understand it!
Measuring the Room
Go round the room, measuring in centimetres, the length and width, including any of the odd shapes, of the room.
Record your measurments on your rough sketch.
Now you must tranfer this information onto you graph paper.

Scaling Down the Measurements of the Room.
The degree of scale will depend on the size of the graph paper.
You may first have to experiment with scaling your measurements onto the graph paper.
You may reckon that for every 10cm true measurement you will draw a 1cm line on the graph paper.
(example) If your room measures 300cm by 250cm then on paper the drawing would measure 30cm by 25cm
If your graph paper is too small for this scale try 20cm true measurement to 1cm on paper.
(example) If the room measures 300 cm by 250cm then the drawing would be 15cm by 12.5cm
When you have finished your floor plan, look at it critically.
Does it look like your room in miniture?
Does it look accurate?
Discuss the outcome with a a friend.
