Moving to a new home can be an exciting adventure, but it can also be a stressful experience if not properly planned! If you are preparing to move or downsize, one of the most important tools you can have in your arsenal is a floor plan.
What is a floor plan?
A floor plan is a scale diagram of a room or suite of rooms viewed from above and used especially for planning effective use and arrangement of furnishings (as per Merriam-Webster). It should include doors, windows, light switches, and outlets.
Why is a floor plan helpful?
A floor plan is a visual representation. It can help you to imagine the layout of your space, prioritize which furniture and belongings will fit into your new space, and plan their arrangement in the new home. You can also plan to give away, sell, or donate items that won’t be making the journey with you.
A floor plan is even more important when downsizing to a smaller home or apartment, because you have less room to work with, and every inch of space counts.
Bonus: on move day, your team will have fewer questions to ask you about furniture placement, because they can follow your pre-made plan. You might even step out to refresh yourself for a few hours while they unload, and then return to make final tweaks and adjustments!
We’ll be following up with more information in a future post, but we’re always happy to help you make a floor plan for your new space.
