How to Create a Floor Plan | For Interior Designers 

Are there available 1/8" furniture templates?

@@mrmcfluffyface8737 yes! 100%. They are harder to find though. The exact ones I have are no longer on Amazon, but there are probably others. Have a look in your local craft store as well!

@@MimiEstelle Gotcha, thanks! :)

Please show us how you photoshopped the features into the plan.

Can you please please release more relatated content? I’m gonna start my first ever floorplan thanks to this video as it was sooooo helpful. Thanks a ton

Samee ahhahha

IF ONLY RU-vid HAD HAHA AND HEART REACT ON IT 😆 but mood tho 👌🏻

Me too!!! lol

Same 😂

I've become a graduate architect after addiction to the Sims when i was younger...to be frank architecture is not like d game..i almost fail my study but managed to grad. 🤣🤣

That was my aim!

i was like I'VE BEEN WATCHING FOR 1.5 HOURS??? xD until realising no hahahh

@@ingridrnilsen omg same ^^

she draws it with a template, how is it possible to do it bad? only if you are an idiot, then maybe

@@Nadia-uv4zw they're talking about the circles on the post-it notes

@@xenvious oh, now I see, from this point it makes sense. But her hand drawn circles are not very well, they are just usual, so that's why I thought about the circles she drew with the ruler (they are the only very-well-circles in my opinion)

M-my weakness-

Agree with u...im thinking to drop out😣

@@navami5935 why

@@ddaphne4718 i had designed many houses but all went wrong and redo🥴🥴😵😵😵😵😵😵

@@navami5935 so it was really hard? But all u do is draw lines not actual houses

@@ddaphne4718 true but we should check line weight quality sheets and all that stuff

Yes I would love to see that too! Loved all the info on this video!

Me too!

What an awesome comment. 😊 👏👏👏

Me too

then I would question the quality of your architectural school and/or teacher...

kristen rosario Wow, that is such an amazing compliment! I really think that some classes/books over complicate the process, so my aim was really to simplify this topic as much as possible. I’m glad that came across so well in this video. Thank you for watching and for sharing your thoughts. It is very much appreciated ❤️

Yeah me too , I’m in my second semester and I never understand about this when my lecturer explain since the first semester. Now I’m glad I found this video to do my last project and I do regret not finding this video sooner ! Thankyou mimi!

I agree, we called it a "dead end"

Imagine you're going to bedroom 1 then halfway through the hallway lights go out.

I would definitely use the end part of the hallway as a closet for the bedroom.... It makes a long dark hallway. Shorten the hallway and turning it into a useful space seems to be the obvious way to go.

See i thought it wouldn’t have made sense in a safety point of view, if a fire starts in the kitchen, it will spread and everyone down that hallway will not be able to get out unless they jump out of a window. I was thinking maybe introduce another door at the end of that hallway or by making a hallway that goes between bedroom 1 and the master bedroom. That way they have a safer exit than all the way on the other side of the house

yes! I was thinking the same, I prefer larger bedroom than longer and unusable hallway space. And she can rotate the bed to the opposite side and put a dresser and TV

Would windsor and newton markers be good

@@heatherclark4959 they would! My ultimate favorite are Copic markers, but WN would work perfectly fine. I used to use those in school

I would love to watch an in depth video! There are lots of people doing floor plan videos, but not so much to teach more so to show. I even feel like you have visual learners in mind as well which is awesome. I’m sure many who come across this while they’re in school could take a lot from this.

Thank you Mimi for making such a great video! I'm taking space planning right now, and trying to learn through zoom has been so difficult. Your video was so helpful explaining the steps of the desing process. I would love to see you rendering process!

Would love a video with this more advanced information! My apologies if you have already made it. I just watched this video and it was AMAZING and SO helpful!! Seriously, thank you so much for making this. About to go watch all your other tutorial videos!!

Me too! I feel the same way. Been doing floor plans by hand all year and feeling lost.

Im a grade 12 student and planning to major in interior design. Wish me luck, and im gonna binge watching every video on this channel.

@@hangezoe1266 OMG SAMEEEEE

I do want to weigh in on the hallway part of your comment. Someone tried to sell me the same idea a long time ago and so I built a house without hallways and it was terrible. I’m living in a house now without hallways and it’s terrible always have a purpose and it’s to separate spaces and to give bedroom areas privacy. It’s well worth the cost.

No me too, and it's 12:18am for me and my brain went "Gasp! You should draw the floor plan right now even though you have very few supplies that are needed!"

same

Same except I'm interested in tiny homes

GOOD FOR YOU lil Sis!!! Go all the way!!! It's wonderful to hear from young people who know who they are and what they want to do early on. Many of us, myself included, take almost a lifetime learning that.

@@Ree-De927 thank u🤗💜

Your welcome sweet one💜 Please keep me posted k! You’re my granddaughter’s age... She wants to pursue cosmetology. Please know I’m rooting for you📣📣📣📣📣📣📣📣📣📣📣📣

I am architect and I think you would be more interested in architecture/b.arch course ,if you are particularly interested in designing buildings? Interior designers deal more with the interiors of the buildings like the furnitures /furniture organisation, color,texture, finishes and ultimately consider how all those spaces are gonna be used by the people

Agreed!!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Now is how to make the career into money

Glad it was helpful!

It is very complicated :)

The real world is a little bit corrupt and money oriented (currently as far as I am concern in Australia with inflatted prices and low quality housing) and not ethical, so be mindful of this before you pursue this line of work or career...

@@ksnjos001 Thank you for your advice. I will look further into this but as far as I heard and read this kind of work can open lots of doors where I am from.

@@paulatrif8606 architecture is a difficult profession everywhere in the world. Particularly for a woman.

@Some Random Person I guess it's true that it takes a lot more for a professional woman to prove their worth than their male counterparts; that's just how it is but that doesn't mean is impossible. My advice to you is to put in the hard work, keep perfecting your skills and learn new ones, be efficient, be responsible, do your work right and people is gonna notice even if you work with all male coleagues like myself. Don't let people talk you out of pursuing your dreams. Take it from someone that just recently received a promotion for my dream job, Head of Architecture in an international AEC company, and 5 years ago as a recent graduate I couldn't even get a second interview mostly for not having any real experience in the field so that'd be my final advice: get as much experience as you can while studing, it is so so important. 😊 good luck!!

@@jocelynzelaya7060 omg! You are really skilled! Congrats! I am happy and thrilled to hear that! I will take your advice as an example and try my best. I wish you good luck and I hope that you are happy with your new job!

Emily Coelho That’s so great to hear. I loved making this video, so I’m sure there will be more to come ❤️

Mimi Estelle Hello, all my life ive always just wanted a job where I make floor plans basically from scratch and the add furniture. Is this what a interior designer does? and if not is there even a job that does just do that?

Quirky Skater it is what an interior designer does, you can’t do so on so many more spaces, not just homes

There is no photoshop in this video. Dude I hope this video owner read comments lol

Wait you are Matt’s wife?!? Just realized!! I watch his videos too!! Very glad I found your channel organically! Nice job. :)

This is litterly 1% of what interior designer do, 60 % goes to autocad and another 35% goes to sending mails. good luck

The difference between them is education. An Interior Designer has a degree in interior design, and an Interior Decorator does not. Hope this helps!

Mimi Estelle thanks so much, i think i want to be an interior designer :)

@@MimiEstelle this is not true. Your are spreading a very false narrative.

Hi’ I’m an interior designer. Interior designer and decorating are VERY VERY different. Interior designers deal with electrical, mechanical and structural. We have to know building code, laws and zones, deal and directly work with tradespersons, reps and architects/engineers. You’re able to work on commercial and public spaces like designing offices, hotels, malls, airports..etc. You produce construction drawings and must know how to draft accurately. Interior decorating is literally picking out furniture, paint, etc.

She's the pro, but I would have tried to connect the mudroom with the laundry.
