Floor plans are scaled 2D drawings that give you a bird’s eye view of a room, house, or building. Used by interior designers, architects, and contractors, floor plans help you establish where walls, windows, doors, and other structural elements are.
Floor plans are the foundation of a well-designed room. They can help you visualize what’s possible with your space and help show you the relationship between rooms, as well as how they flow together. They are also important because they help you visualize and communicate design ideas with designers, architects, contractors, or even your significant other.

Floor plans are used to allow potential property buyers or tenants to view the property layout prior to arranging a viewing and decide whether the property size and measurements meet their requirements. For this reason, Property Floor Plans are an essential marketing tool to advertise your property
What is the difference between a 2D and a 3D floor plan?
A 3D floor plan is an image that shows the structure (walls, doors, windows) and layout (fixtures, fittings, furniture) of a building, property, office, or home, in three dimensions. It’s usually in color and shown from a birds-eye view. 2D floor plans are much simpler than 3D plans, usually drawn in black and white, and often feature additional information such as dimensions or areas.
You might be wondering when you should use a 2D floor plan and what are the main advantages of a 3D floor plan? Well, it depends on your objectives and the specific information you want to convey. 2D floor plans are better when precision, detail, and facts are your top priority. For example, providing dimensions to a building contractor or submitting a building permit application. Due to their simplicity, they’re also faster to draw so work great as a first draft or starting point for a project. However, they do little to convey the look and feel of a space so you may struggle to visualize the environment and get a sense of the atmosphere. 3D floor plans are the preferred option when technical details are less important but you need to bring the property to life. They allow you to instantly get a feel for a property, in terms of layout, color, design, and furniture. 3D plans are easy to digest at a glance so are great for selling an off-plan property or visualizing the incredible potential of an empty home.
2D Floor Plan
3D Floor Plan
- Showcase a Property: People have extremely short attention spans, especially in the world of sales and marketing. 3D floor plans ensure you deliver your message fast and efficiently without sending anyone to sleep! Ideal for real estate agents and property listing websites, especially for selling off-plan homes.
- Compare Different Designs: Once you’ve created your design template, you can let your imagination run wild. Whether you want to change the wall color, mix up the furniture layout, or see how that extra large corner sofa looks, a 3D floor plan lets you quickly assess all your available options.
- Communicate Ideas: If you have a great kitchen renovation idea but your significant other doesn’t quite understand it, why not help them visualize your design by creating a 3D floor plan. We can’t guarantee they’ll actually agree with you, but at least you’ll be on the same page!
- Unlock Creativity: Just going through the steps of creating a 3D floor plan can dramatically help you in the design process. If you’re an interior designer struggling for inspiration or lacking ideas, sketching a floor plan can give you that eureka moment.
- Avoid Mistakes: That luxurious king-sized bed might have looked (and felt) great in the showroom. But if it takes up your whole bedroom and forces you to squeeze along the wall just to get into bed, it rather loses its appeal. A 3D floor plan ensures you know exactly how much space you’ve got and the effect large pieces of furniture will have on room aesthetics.
