Consider the following aspects when designing a floor plan: the purpose of the room (entertaining, working, sleeping), cost, your requirements and the needs of your family, traffic habits, comfort features, source of light, safety, wiring, plumbing, ventilation, room décor, furniture, and... the list goes on! A designer can help you consider all these factors so that you end up with a plan that meets your needs while still giving you freedom to change things around as your life changes.
The main effect that the design of the floor plan has is determining how we use space. By deciding what functions we want our rooms to serve, we are able to create a plan that is efficient in its use of space. For example, if one of the goals in designing a bedroom is to give the illusion of more space by using smaller beds, then a loft or storage area for clothes or books is necessary. In contrast, if the goal is to make the most of the available space by using a large bed, then it isn't necessary to include a closet in the design.
In addition to determining how we use space, the design of the floor plan affects other aspects of the house such as security, accessibility, and cost. If you require complete privacy in a particular room, for example, a walk-through wall may be required to ensure visitor compliance with building regulations. This would mean including a door with a lock on the inside of the room for extra security.
Floor plans help purchasers and tenants comprehend the heart of the property: the areas, how they interact, the outlooks, and the flow. The most crucial feature of a floor layout is its precise scale. If you can't estimate the size of objects accurately from the drawing alone, do not buy or rent this property.
The room locations shown on the floor plan also are important. For example, if a bathroom is shown in an area with other rooms, then that space must be accessible by a separate door from other parts of the house. A garage that connects to a home office would not be accessible from outside the building.
Other features shown on the floor plan include entry ways, stairs, and landings. An entrance hall with access to several rooms helps make the house feel larger than it is. Stairs allow for different levels of living within the same house, while landings are spotless places where you can put a plant or two to give the feeling of depth and size to the lower floors.
Now that you know what these drawings are used for, get out your pen and paper and start drafting!
