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!
