Making a floor plan is a good idea if you are building a new home or reorganizing your home. A well-planned floor plan can prevent the unpleasant experience of moving furniture around the house without a plan and feeling bad about the end result later. Using software is faster and easier than creating the plan with pencil and paper. You can also view the plan in 3D mode which gives you a pretty good idea of ​​what the plan will look like in real life.

Try the following two floor plan freeware. They are online software, which means you don’t have to install anything. Floor plans made using the software can also be easily shared with other people. Although there are other freeware both online and offline, these two outperform the others in quality.

1.Autodesk Homestyler

With Autodesk Homestyler, you can create floor plans by dragging and dropping rooms, doors, and furniture. You can also view your designs in 2D and 3D format.

Once a plan is made, you can save it to the design gallery and invite friends to view it by sending an email or posting a link on Facebook. The design can also be shared on other websites, printed, or saved as a JPG, DWG, or RVT format for other software.

On the website (www.homestyler.com), you can see several example designs for the kitchen, bathroom, dining room, garage, and more that were made by other users. This is great for getting an idea of ​​designs that other people have come up with.

You can start making a floor plan by clicking the “Start Now” button. Using menus like build, furnish, and landscape, you can draw rooms and walls, furnish bathrooms, furniture, and electronics, and place landscapes like grass and pond. Clicking the 2D and 3D button allows you to view the floor plan immediately in each mode.

2. Floor planner

Floorplanner has almost the same features as Autodesk Homestyler, such as the drag and drop tool to make floor plans. You can use the same 2D and 3D formatting and built-in library for doors, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and furniture.

However, there are two main differences with Autodesk Homestyler. First, Floorplanner has a very detailed tutorial that guides you step by step in making the plan. Second, Floorplanner’s 3D rendering is a bit slower than Autodesk Homestyler’s. If you need a detailed guide to make floor plans, you must try this software. You can create a floor plan by clicking demo at the top of the website (www.floorplanner.com).

With a free account, you can create a house. Paid accounts start with a Floorplanner Plus that allows you to build up to 5 homes with a $29 annual subscription.

Which to choose?

In summary, if you already have some experience in creating floor plans, Autodesk Homestyler is recommended. If you need a friendly step-by-step tutorial, give Floorplanner a try. In terms of pricing, Autodesk Homestyler looks better as it is completely free compared to Floorplanner with a free account with some limitations. Of course, price alone can’t help you determine your choice. Give both programs a try and find out the one that best suits your purpose.
