Learn to Draw Interior Floor Plans by Hand
No Software, No Stress
Learn how to draw floor plans by hand in this beginner-friendly interior design course.
If you’ve ever wanted to sketch real rooms with confidence without software, stress, or prior experience this step-by-step class is for you. You’ll learn how to draw walls, doors, windows, and furniture to create a complete interior floor plan you’re proud of.
Why This Matters
Whether you’re preparing a portfolio, exploring interior design, or reconnecting with your creativity, the skill every designer needs is the ability to bring ideas to life on paper.
But right now, maybe you’re stuck:
〰️ You open your sketchbook and don’t know where to begin
〰️ Your proportions feel wrong
〰️ You’re not sure how to show walls, windows, doors or furniture
〰️ Tutorials feel too fast, too technical, or too overwhelming
〰️ You’re second-guessing your ideas and holding back
The real problem isn’t your drawing, it’s your confidence.
Why You’ve Been Struggling
You were never shown the basics clearly and simply:
How to break down a room into lines and shapes
The logic behind layouts and conventions
The little tricks that make a sketch look intentional
Without that foundation, you’ve been stuck in perfectionism and frustration.
The Solution
This course gives you a clear, supportive drawing method so you can finally feel like a designer.
No perfectionism. No overwhelm.
Just pencil, paper, and a process that works.

“Lovely class to help you loosen up your hand and get practical about drawing a floor plan. It's really easy and straightforward as it's a beginner’s level, you won't be scaling things proportionally or doing any measurements…it's very insightful and helpful for anyone starting up.” - Thais Fairbanks

“This was so much fun for me, I have experience drawing floor plans just from copying existing ones but it was great to understand what all the lines mean, when to use them, and how to draw people in a room” - Lise Roberts

Tips for Learning to Draw Floor Plans (Even as a Beginner)
If you’re just starting with interior design or sketching, here are a few simple ways to build your confidence:
1. Start with basic shapes
Every wall, door, and piece of furniture can be broken down into rectangles and circles. Keep it simple at first.
2. Practice one element at a time
Instead of jumping into a full room, try sketching just a sofa, then a table, then a doorway.
3. Keep proportions loose (not perfect)
As a beginner, don’t worry about exact measurements. Focus on clarity and flow.
4. Don’t be afraid of mistakes
Messy lines are part of the process. You can refine later; progress matters more than perfection.
5. Build consistency
Sketch for 10–15 minutes a day. Small, regular practice beats cramming once a month.
Inside the course, I’ll guide you step by step through this exact process so you don’t have to figure it out alone.
