WEEK 8: Furniture to Floorplans


Last week we focused on drawing/drafting correct and actual floorplans. We scaled them down and got really technical. This week we added furniture and closets and whatever else was necessary. There are certain stencils you can buy and use for floorplans that come with most furniture and already scaled objects you would draw in a floorplan space. I tried mine without a stencil and worked on getting the scale as actual as possible. I plan on getting a stencil soon because it can save time and give you a better and more precise outcome on a floorplan. I got to learn different types of doors you can draw for closets and entryways. I never knew what the dashed lines were that you see in closets or over countertops and now I know that they represent something higher in the space that are not below you drawn cut line. I like how official these floorplans look. I see that for next time however, I should use a straight edge for everything, the free handed dimension lines outside the floorplans do not look good, especially drawn next to a drafted floorplan.
