1.  What is Home Plan

In architecture and building engineering, a home plan is a drawing to scale, showing a view from above, of the relationships between different rooms, spaces, patterns, and other physical features at one level of a structure. A color home plan design starts with understanding dimension as it plays a critical part in the floor plan, and before one gets into individual elements like bed placements, the most important part is finalizing the layout. 

2. Tips for Creating Home Plan

By creating a colored home plan, a designer can scale drawings that will provide a way to visualize how people will move through space. In a color home plan, space planning is important in new structures, but it’s also important in rethinking existing spaces to determine how to use them more efficiently.

3. How to Create a Home Plan

Step 1: Pick a location. Determine the drawing area. If the structure already exists, determine how much of it to sketch (a room, a floor, or the full structure). If the structure does not yet exist, come up with design ideas depending on the size and shape of the site.

Step 2: Measure everything. If the structure already exists, take measurements of the walls, doors, and relevant furnishings to ensure that the floor plan is accurate. If you're designing a layout for a completely new region, make sure the overall area will fit where it'll be erected. It's a good idea to look at buildings in similar places to get a sense of how much this floor plan will cost.

Step 3: Make a wall. Add walls to each of the building's rooms, making sure they're drawn to scale.

Step 4: Include architectural details. Begin by putting in the non-removable components, such as doors and windows, as well as the refrigerator, dishwasher, dryer, and other vital appliances that must be installed in a precise area.

Step 5: Fill in the gaps with furniture. If the floor plan allows it, add furnishings.
