People and Furniture in Plan View eBook
How to Draw People & Furniture in Plan View
A practical guide for architecture and interior design students who want to bring floor plans to life with accuracy and confidence.
Most students learn how to draw walls and rooms, but are never taught how to populate plans. This eBook fills that gap with clear instructions and practice sheets so you can draw people and furniture correctly, not guess or copy from others.
This guide teaches you how to draw people and furniture in plan view so your floor plans look intentional, proportional, and alive, not empty or improvised.
What You’ll Learn
How to draw people in a plan with realistic proportions and posture
How to draw furniture for kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms and workspaces
How to place people and furniture to show use, circulation, and scale
How to make plans more professional, communicative, and portfolio-ready
How to Use It
Keep the eBook beside you when drawing floor plans to quickly reference shapes, sizes, and placement. Use the practice sheets to build muscle memory so you can populate plans with confidence.
If you struggle to know how big people should be or where furniture should go, this guide shows you step by step so you can draw with certainty instead of guesswork.
Format

Hand-drawn and created by a Chartered Architect and former University Lecturer, this guide reflects how plans are actually taught and reviewed in architecture and interior design education.
