1. MEASURE YOUR SPACE
Here is a quick step-by-step guide on how to measure and draw your space efficiently and accurately.
  • Do a rough sketch of your layout, and then transfer it to graph paper.
  • This is your “base plan” and is a record of the layout of the space as it exists.
  • Indicate light fixtures, electrical outlets, and heat registers.
  • Measure ceiling & bulkheads heights.
  • Make a list of what you don’t like or want to change.

Measure the length and width of the room and the height of the walls.
  • From one corner, measure the location of windows and doors.
  • Record the swing of each door, opening in or out, right or left.
  • Record each dimension to the nearest 1/4 inch.
  • Include measurements for everything.
  • Include the width of every doorway and window, including casings.
  • If there’s an island or peninsula, measure its length, height and depth.
  • Check and double-check your measurements for accuracy.
2. DRAW A NEW FLOORPLAN
  • Do a rough sketch of your layout, and then transfer it to graph paper.
  • This is your “base plan” and is a record the layout of the space as it exists.

  • Indicate light fixtures, electrical outlets, and heat registers.

  • Measure ceiling & bulkheads heights.

  • Make a list of what you don’t like or want to change.

  • Keep in mind that your plan does not have to be professionally drawn, only accurate in its rendition of the current space.
