I have linked all of my interior design tools, as well as helpful books, to my Amazon storefront: www.Amazon.com/shop/mimiestelle (link also in description box)
Are there available 1/8" furniture templates?
@@mrmcfluffyface8737 yes! 100%. They are harder to find though. The exact ones I have are no longer on Amazon, but there are probably others. Have a look in your local craft store as well!
@@MimiEstelle Gotcha, thanks! :)
Please show us how you photoshopped the features into the plan.
Can you please please release more relatated content? I’m gonna start my first ever floorplan thanks to this video as it was sooooo helpful. Thanks a ton
I'm not even a legit interior designer, I'm just into building in the sims lmao. Helpful for building realistic houses there.
Samee ahhahha
IF ONLY RUclips HAD HAHA AND HEART REACT ON IT 😆 but mood tho 👌🏻
Me too!!! lol
Same 😂
I've become a graduate architect after addiction to the Sims when i was younger...to be frank architecture is not like d game..i almost fail my study but managed to grad. 🤣🤣
This was so cool. It felt like 8 lectures on floor planning combined in 1 30 min video!
That was my aim!
i was like I'VE BEEN WATCHING FOR 1.5 HOURS??? xD until realising no hahahh
@@ingridrnilsen omg same ^^
why is no one talking about how well she draws circles
she draws it with a template, how is it possible to do it bad? only if you are an idiot, then maybe
@@Nadia-uv4zw they're talking about the circles on the post-it notes
@@xenvious oh, now I see, from this point it makes sense. But her hand drawn circles are not very well, they are just usual, so that's why I thought about the circles she drew with the ruler (they are the only very-well-circles in my opinion)

M-my weakness-
honestly if my teachers had explained things this easily, I wouldn't have dropped out
Agree with u...im thinking to drop out😣
@@navami5935 why
@@ddaphne4718 i had designed many houses but all went wrong and redo🥴🥴😵😵😵😵😵😵
@@navami5935 so it was really hard? But all u do is draw lines not actual houses
@@ddaphne4718 true but we should check line weight quality sheets and all that stuff
Can u make a video of what is an interior designer? Salary? Education? Life after college?
I don't know why I'm here but this is fascinating.
What an awesome comment. 😊 👏👏👏
Me too
Would love to see your AutoCAD and Photoshop process! Super informative video; thanks so much for sharing!
Yes I would love to see that too! Loved all the info on this video!
Me too!
We just bought an older home in Hockley, TX. The home was built in 1994 by the man who lived in it. It’s a crazy lay out. There’s only one bathroom on the bottom floor which happens to be the master . So all guest have to use it. All contractors are stumped on how to add a powder room to the bottom floor. The house has NO closets other than the ones in the bedroom. Every time we try to correct one problem, we have to correct ten others problems to fix the one we started with. I have been completely lost trying to figure things out and have the lay out make sense. This video has been a God send to me. I wish you were here to help. Thank you so much for your detailed explanation. You have made a difference for this tired homeowner.
This kind of video makes me so giddy! Makes me confident that interior design is the right field for me to go into. Also, I can build a floor plan portfolio by creating my characters' homes, rooms, and work buildings!
Wow! I'm learned so much in this video than when I took at class for interior design at acclaimed community college in my hometown. Crazy! I sent two semesters trying to understand and this 38 minute taught me everything and visuals go along. Thank you Mimi, you content is exactly what I needed on this platform as there not many interior designers on YT. Much love and happy creating!
kristen rosario Wow, that is such an amazing compliment! I really think that some classes/books over complicate the process, so my aim was really to simplify this topic as much as possible. I’m glad that came across so well in this video. Thank you for watching and for sharing your thoughts. It is very much appreciated ❤️
Yeah me too , I’m in my second semester and I never understand about this when my lecturer explain since the first semester. Now I’m glad I found this video to do my last project and I do regret not finding this video sooner ! Thankyou mimi!
Finally an interior design video that gets to the point with Good information, so many you tubers just ramble on and on without really saying anything. Great video
I’m just starting my architecture studies and my teacher randomly asked us to make a basic floor plan and I’ve felt so lost during the process. This video is so helpful thank you so much
then I would question the quality of your architectural school and/or teacher...
You could "stop" the hallway to the bedroom 1 before, having more space into the bedroom and put the door in the other side. That end of the halway is just an empty and unusable space
I did it a lot in college, and the teachers have told me that. I hope you understand, my english is not that good xD
I agree, we called it a "dead end"
Imagine you're going to bedroom 1 then halfway through the hallway lights go out.
I would definitely use the end part of the hallway as a closet for the bedroom.... It makes a long dark hallway. Shorten the hallway and turning it into a useful space seems to be the obvious way to go.
See i thought it wouldn’t have made sense in a safety point of view, if a fire starts in the kitchen, it will spread and everyone down that hallway will not be able to get out unless they jump out of a window. I was thinking maybe introduce another door at the end of that hallway or by making a hallway that goes between bedroom 1 and the master bedroom. That way they have a safer exit than all the way on the other side of the house
yes! I was thinking the same, I prefer larger bedroom than longer and unusable hallway space. And she can rotate the bed to the opposite side and put a dresser and TV
Thank you all for the feedback! Just wanted to clarify to those who are concerned that I did not address certain parameters which would definitely be addressed in a real world application.... This is a VERY rudimentary overview of how the floor plan process works. I eliminated A LOT of parameters including most aspects of a usual program. I believed that adding information about sunlight, circulation, acoustics, privacy, site maps, etc. would be too advanced for this basic of a video. Of course this video does not cover the full extent of developing a floor plan, but I think that’s implied.
Would windsor and newton markers be good
@@heatherclark4959 they would! My ultimate favorite are Copic markers, but WN would work perfectly fine. I used to use those in school
I would love to watch an in depth video! There are lots of people doing floor plan videos, but not so much to teach more so to show. I even feel like you have visual learners in mind as well which is awesome. I’m sure many who come across this while they’re in school could take a lot from this.
Thank you Mimi for making such a great video! I'm taking space planning right now, and trying to learn through zoom has been so difficult. Your video was so helpful explaining the steps of the desing process. I would love to see you rendering process!
Would love a video with this more advanced information! My apologies if you have already made it. I just watched this video and it was AMAZING and SO helpful!! Seriously, thank you so much for making this. About to go watch all your other tutorial videos!!
Thank you for doing this. As a builder, a square or rectangle shape w/o a lot of pop-outs is very cost-efficient. I like to locate kitchens in proximity to attached garages (so you don't have to drag groceries through the house). Hallways are expensive, wasted space (minimize where you can - unless cost is no object). I like to locate laundry rooms near (not in) the garage - away from any living space (noisy). A good plan (for me) is to enter the house through the garage, go through the laundry room, then into the back of the kitchen. Of course, there is a formal front entry and a rear entry off the kitchen/breakfast nook.
I do want to weigh in on the hallway part of your comment. Someone tried to sell me the same idea a long time ago and so I built a house without hallways and it was terrible. I’m living in a house now without hallways and it’s terrible always have a purpose and it’s to separate spaces and to give bedroom areas privacy. It’s well worth the cost.
The goal is to show clarity, not perfection. That's exactly what you've done. Good video!
I haven't even finished the whole video, but I'm studying interior design 1st-year at university and you have honestly taught me more in this video then all my teachers and lecturers combined!!! you deserve so much recognition because you explained everything so simply, So helpful!!! Xxx
As an interior design student currently in space planning, thank you so much! Trying to learn this through Zoom has been so difficult, but I feel so ready for my next project now thanks to this video!
Me too! I feel the same way. Been doing floor plans by hand all year and feeling lost.
Im a grade 12 student and planning to major in interior design. Wish me luck, and im gonna binge watching every video on this channel.

Hey Mimi, I am a construction manager by profession & I am mostly into execution & designing is something that I do in my free time. The things that you covered here and the way you’ve explained everything is simply awesome and really resourceful & I have to say that I’ve never seen this kind of visualization before that makes things so clear & easier to understand.
I stumbled upon your video and it brought back great memories of studying to become an interior designer. I ended up staying in the industry for a short time before going into something else, but I have fond memories of that time. It is interesting how each person would interpret the same needs and floorplan completely differently. For instance, I would have eliminated the wasted space created by the dead end hallway near the bedrooms and used it to create a closet for the adjacent bedroom, or extended the bathroom space instead.
Thank you for the great explanation, it makes me realize how little time my professors spent teaching us the mechanics of designing a floorplan from scratch. We had the same tools, just don't remember seeing the process come to life the way you did here.
I can’t get over the background music 😭😭😭 it’s BEAUTIFUL
I trusted the process and it turned out absolutely logical and intellectual to plan the layout this way.
That is so helpful !!!! , im 13 yrs old and im so interested in designing and art thanksss for this video
I'm making a Dream home folder with this. Also I love your writting.
I'm so stoked how many ppl love this. I draw floorplans. And this is my twin
Great process. Everyone has their own design ideas and preferences. This is not an open plan. All spaces have no effective cross ventilation due to the hallway running through. Also such a long curving hallway could feel cramped. But again, every designer has their own style and the reason for the placing has been explained well
I've never taken an interior design class before but I've drawn hundreds of floor plans, this was pretty neat to watch how someone that went to school develops a layout!
LOVED this so much!! You summed up so much in such a straight forward and creative way - would love to see your AutoCAD & Photoshop process
The start was so creative and fluffy, and then you went straight into just drawing out furniture placements which changed the vibe of the process. And, the feng Shui stuff is missing!
As someone who is considering switching careers to become an architect, your channel feels like a superpower I just unlocked. The way you describe your workflow is so thorough yet succinct and easy to understand. If I could like a video more than once I would. Thank you!
just thinking about how i wish you’d of gone more into why immediate adjacency gets two lines and what acoustical privacy is. i’m so intrigued - love your account
I'm just 14 and im interested in designing houses(not ordinary ones like mansions, like the ones propertygrams post) and I wanted to get a head start before i go to uni/college and i know there are going to be some challenges during the journey of being an achitect and its not easy but i have to give it to you this was clearly demonstrated so THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same except I'm interested in tiny homes
GOOD FOR YOU lil Sis!!! Go all the way!!! It's wonderful to hear from young people who know who they are and what they want to do early on. Many of us, myself included, take almost a lifetime learning that.
@@Ree-De927 thank u🤗💜
Your welcome sweet one💜 Please keep me posted k! You’re my granddaughter’s age... She wants to pursue cosmetology.
Please know I’m rooting for you📣📣📣📣📣📣📣📣📣📣📣📣
I am architect and I think you would be more interested in architecture/b.arch course ,if you are particularly interested in designing buildings? Interior designers deal more with the interiors of the buildings like the furnitures /furniture organisation, color,texture, finishes and ultimately consider how all those spaces are gonna be used by the people
This video is very helpful and the fact that you admit the wrong things
Super helpful. Just a few minutes of information and I learned a whole lot. Will start on my own design for my house now
Hi Mimi I'm Mai from UAE Dubai and I just wanna say thank so much for making this video it's so helpful. Plz plz make more videos like this one. ❣
nobody
me: trying to learn floor plans so me and my friends can move in together in the future
No me too, and it's 12:18am for me and my brain went "Gasp! You should draw the floor plan right now even though you have very few supplies that are needed!"
It's funny to see such manual job in a digital world! The procedures were fun to watch!
You're actually amazing! I'm an interior design student in college and this helps so much to get a distinction on my projects!
I'm still in middle school but I love learning about interior design and floor plans. Me and and my friend design houses first on paper then online, we both work together to create every house. I am definitely sharing this video with her, thank you so much for all the tips I will definitely be coming back to this pretty often.
same
Amazing content..that why women are goOd at planning than men period... Love from india
😮this just blew my mind. I thank you from my heart. I learned a lot today. Be bless.
I've been watching interior design videos for years, but this is the most thorough video I've ever seen that explains the whole planning process from start to finish! The matrix and circle techniques are so simple yet useful! I've seen a lot of videos about design "rules" (such as how big of an area rug you need), but not ones like this that really force you to plan for the relationships between spaces.
I would love to see how you render it! Low-key I watched this to understand how to build better Sims houses (and because I've always been in love with interior design) and it was super useful, your process is really something!
Thank you so much for making this video! I am considering a career change into interior design and have been wanting to see the nuts and bolts of actually what goes into creating a floor plan so I really appreciate your video!
This is the best demonstration video of Creating a floor plan on the Internet I have seen. Will be watching every video that's coming.
This video was amazing and so helpful! I enjoy drawing floorplans and making them as realistic as possible. Thank you so much for laying out this process so well! I can't wait to watch more.
I loved this video and to see how your process is! I know this isn’t the most viewed video of yours but I’d love to see more of these!!
Please make more videos like this! I will be trying to build my own house next year and I have the physical know how but When it comes to design and layout, I'm lost. This helped so much with that aspect! I would love to learn more!
Thank you for having the time to explain your process. ❤️🙏
its amazing how easily she managed to explain the whole process step by step. I loved it!
THIS WAS SO DOPE!! Thank you so much for sharing your gift ❣️!
I got into designing from decorating my home in Final Fantasy XIV, and now I'm interested in designing my future home. Thank you for all of the useful and condensed information that will help me to achieve this goal! :D
Oh, I like that sticky note part to get a visual of the very rough idea.
I need this as a series! This was amazing and comprehensive. Good job!
this is so organized and detailed.. great work there
I am an interior design student and love seeing how your process works. Please upload more videos on interior design! Thanks for your content :)
Agreed!!
This is great! Thank you so much for your help! Would love to see ALL the steps from the beginning to the completion of the project. You are such a good teacher!
You have no idea how much you helped me with this vid, thank you Mimi, this is so valuable!!!!
thank you so much for thisss! tomorrow i’m starting to practice my floor plans & this really helped.
thank you so much for this, i really want to become an interior designer when i grow up so this helped me 💛
Best online teacher so far!
Please do more videos like this! As a student in Interior Design it’s so insightful and educational to see the process and choices you make as you go! Thank you so much for sharing 😄
Yes an AutoCAD and photoshop proccess would be awesome! You do such a great job on your videos and I know they take a long time to produce in such a professional way!
Wauw this was so good!
I really want to study Interior Design Styling without any knowledge.
But before I start (or even get accepted) I want to know more about it.
Just by watching this video it made so much sense and it's so clear now!
This really helped me a lot, really, thank you a lot for sharing your process with us!
I'm not even a architect,designer, engineer or something close to that I'm not even in college right now but I get so many lessons that may help me in the future
I appreciate your vlog❤️I'm so thankful🙏
Okay, you have explained something that is so complex, and made it so easy! What a great job!
I’m a 3rd year interior architecture student and I really enjoyed watching this video. It was so helpful and fun for me to watch. Thank you so much☺️
This is awesome ! I would LOVE to see how you did your last floor plan, it brings your design to life! Thank you so much for a great informative tutorial, I feel I learned so much in such a short time. Thank you Mimi!
I just wanted to say how much i enjoyed this video! As someone who has done schooling for interior decorating, Ive always wanted to delve a little more into the design part (house layouts, traffic, etc) and this was a great video to get me started! Thanks!
Thank u so much been having such a hard time figuring out how to design my home and with in 5min after watching u my problem was solved thank u so very much
I really want to become an interior designer when I’m older, and I loved this!💛✨
The best video on youtube for this topic so informative and logical.
You just explain everything so well
You helped a lot i appreciate everything about this video
So well I'm still starting high school but I really want to study interior designing and these videos are helping me understand it little by little

I have always drawn floor plans of homes ever since I could hold a pencil. Your approach is the easiest way to rearrange the rooms as I get new floor plan ideas. Thanks
This video really helps me appreciate how much work goes into interior design! Thanks for sharing :D
This is nice floor plan process❤
You’ve communicated and illustrated the process of preparing and executing the floor plan very well. As an interior architect myself- not currently officially practicing- I was curious to watch your video that had popped up in my home page suggestions and glad that I did. It was refreshing to watch a very different approach as you explore ideas and possibilities to plan with that I imagine I can incorporate with my own process. Which differs with the initial stage focused on the concept: assessing the site, how the client wants to experience their spaces, their budget and their priorities of space usage to align with their life choices visualising from the perspective view to form the program for the project. The translation into the overview floor plan follows that. Adapting some of your technique will be a great way to challenge my approach; changing the context to play with will be fun. Thank you.
I’d love to see how you design for more complex or unique project briefs; a difficult site, tight specifications, restrictions etc for residential, retail or hospitality. Hopefully that is a possibility that interests you!
this is the most helpful video i’ve ever watched
also im doing architecture and its really cool to see where the differences are
Its so satisfying & your work is amazing.
I study interior architecture and design at university and this is so helpful omg. Please do another video!
Hi Mimi! Good job. Thank you so much for sharing your process in such details. YES! I would love to see how you make it in AutoCad...with the different documents in a template for us to get inspired from. Merci!
Wow, that was so visually beautiful and organised
This explains why I’ve never had any success in the past with this. every plan I’ve made was either trashed or forgotten cuz I didn’t know at the time how to scale or do all this but now that ik all of this I’m confident that I could very well do a better job
I want to be a interior designer and architect when I grow up or maybe in the future I'll decide one of them only. Thank you this video showed me that it isn't as complicated as I thought. ❤
It is very complicated :)
This is exactly the same what the university taught, especially the bubble diagram.
Really helpful, BTW I'm an architectural design student.
I am professional structural engineer, I have been doing building design and interior design for long time. I really like the way you break down decision making process. Will share this video with my students.
Hello! Just want to say that you really have an awesome gift for breaking this field down. I just finished with my Master's studies in this field and I have no doubt had some instructors that have made this process feel and seem really daunting...and not to take away from the level of importance it is to take in all building factors...but you definitely made it simple and attainable. I will definitely be checking out your videos and following you as I'm building my skills after online school and stepping into the work field. Thank you!!!!!
I'm going to really take what you said at the end. "Don't worry what everybody else's looks like. Just make it make sense to you."
This is the most useful vid on floor planning I have ever seen! Would you consider making one on two-storey houses? I'm a complete amateur who you would love to come up with my own vision before I take it to an architect and I'm struggling with room alignment (I might need to include some load-bearing interior walls and these have to align from top to bottom...).
I don't know how I found this, but this what I needed. Super informative, I learned so much. I want to build my own home some day and this was great info. You have a lot of knowledge for a novice like me. More of these please .
RUclips Algorithm at its best 🥰 Thank you for teaching this step by step and easily for us to understand it one by one. I'm glad that I choose to click on your video since it looks interesting to me. You gain a new subscriber for today 🤗
I'm in my final year of high school and I am really considering going for architectury. I love building houses and decorating in video games and I know it's not the same thing as in real life but damn I'd love to get projects sold.
The real world is a little bit corrupt and money oriented (currently as far as I am concern in Australia with inflatted prices and low quality housing) and not ethical, so be mindful of this before you pursue this line of work or career...
@@ksnjos001 Thank you for your advice. I will look further into this but as far as I heard and read this kind of work can open lots of doors where I am from.
@@paulatrif8606 architecture is a difficult profession everywhere in the world. Particularly for a woman.
@Some Random Person I guess it's true that it takes a lot more for a professional woman to prove their worth than their male counterparts; that's just how it is but that doesn't mean is impossible. My advice to you is to put in the hard work, keep perfecting your skills and learn new ones, be efficient, be responsible, do your work right and people is gonna notice even if you work with all male coleagues like myself. Don't let people talk you out of pursuing your dreams. Take it from someone that just recently received a promotion for my dream job, Head of Architecture in an international AEC company, and 5 years ago as a recent graduate I couldn't even get a second interview mostly for not having any real experience in the field so that'd be my final advice: get as much experience as you can while studing, it is so so important. 😊 good luck!!
@@jocelynzelaya7060 omg! You are really skilled! Congrats! I am happy and thrilled to hear that! I will take your advice as an example and try my best. I wish you good luck and I hope that you are happy with your new job!
Hello Mimi, I've been in design now for almost 10 years and I have some comments to everyone who watches this video. Keep in mind, you never want that dead wasted space at the end of the hallway to the bedroom. You should try to connect the bedroom over the the hallway ends with the door. Second a perfect almost square home is rare, when practicing you should try to keep in mind that they will be odd portions and sizes so practice with random floor plans online!
Good luck everyone.
I'm happy I've found your RUclips Channel. Thanks for what you do! Very helpful.
I was looking for a perfect video or correct source where I can learn at least the basic things of floor planning. I am planning to build my very 1st house within dimensions of 44' * 27.3' in a total of 1200 SQF build area. I am a graphic designer & I wanted to give it a try to plan it by myself. as you told me in the last sentence, nobody is perfect but you did a pretty good job making this video perfectly to help more viewers like me. thank you so much.
