floorplan software

stevetiler · 23 Oct 2017

Hi all,
Does anyone know of a fairly easy and preferably free floorplan software for designing Bathroom layouts?
Just to show customers what their bathroom layout will look like from a top-down perspective and to scale?
Tried a few free trials but seem over-complicated and "Americanised"
Thanks

Not sure if it would have all of what you need, but would sketchup do it?

RoomSketcher looks like it might be useful.

It’s not free but not expensive

I bought this to plan my garage conversion to my office and a laundry.
Seemed to work okay.

Sweet home 3D seems ok- anyone used it?

Sketchup by Google had a free version without some of the more advanced tools.

Tried Sketchup but would only let me go so far without buying a licence- I’ve no problem paying for software but seeing as I won’t use it all the time I don’t want to spend a fortune

I was thinking the same thing, the ikea one is dead easy, drag and drop, both Wickes and B&Q had online kitchen planners too.
Only problem was was that cabinet sizes and availability differ between manufacturers/stockists.....not a problem if you use Ikea planner and actually buy from them.
I suppose they can all give you a decent idea of what you need and roughly what it would look like..

I used to use Metropix, which was superb. But it's quite pricey now.
