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!
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.
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
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!
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 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!
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
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.
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!!
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!
thanks for the method, I've been using messy unpresentable bubbles with line connections almost alone for my designs, I've had a hard time with a few steps of translating my living process based designs to actual measurements, your process reduces the erasure & redrawing, it helps a lot. I will definitely be getting tracing paper.
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
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'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!
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'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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
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
I’m training to become an interior designer and this was so helpful for show me what excatly I will do i didn’t know I’d also have to do windows and that stuff I really didn’t but this was super helpful for that and thank you
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.
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 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.
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!
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!
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🙏
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 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
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
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!
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 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. ❤
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.
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
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!
I watched this video a couple of years ago and I just found it again. I am not even interested in interior design that much but this video is just that great!
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
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!
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!
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...).
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!
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'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.
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!
Thanx! This video helped me a lot! I'm online learning Interior design and had hit a "bump" that landed me virtually at a standstill since 11/2020. I made my mind up to get moving and today 4/13/21 I needed to understand exactly what your video covers! Phew, I now have a better understanding of how to use the triangle and the furniture template (with confidence)....😊
Thank you so much for this video!! I'm a college student and I'm going into interior design and I always stressed over how I will make my floor plans. I loved the way you did everything and your placements of each room!!
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 .
I would LOVE to see more videos like this! You mentioned doing another video on sizing rooms, but 8 months later you still haven’t done it. Myself & im sure others watching this would be super grateful to see that!
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!
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!
I have no experience with interior design or anything like that because I’ve always been a character designer. But as a creator I’ve always wanted to branch out into architecture and interior design for my stories, drawings, and/or comics, and this has helped MONUMENTALLY. This video alone has already helped me structure better floor plans and I am so relieved that it’s actually possible for me to get into interior design OUTSIDE of my characters
I absolutely love this video! I’m an interior design student and you use the same process/rules that I was taught. I love your videos and content and would love to see more videos like this 😊
Mimi Estelle Hello, all my life ive always just wanted a job where I make floor plans basically from scratch and the add furniture. Is this what a interior designer does? and if not is there even a job that does just do that?
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!
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.
You do a wonderful job at explaining this. I am currently an Interior Design student, and your video was more informational than my past design class. Thank you, and please continue to teach.
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 think you should send this video to every architectural and interior design tutor in every university in the world , in order to make sure that they teach properly these basic skills, which I learnt in BAU in Beirut in 1983. However when I moved to British University/Polytechnic they never mentioned these kind of zoning and when I discussed its importance they refused to know about it, because they thought it is too rigid. They were influenced by Archigram and caring about the portfolio image more than anything else. No theory ,whatsoever, in design they wanted to teach or follow. It is becoming very subjective the teaching of design, and any wishy washy tutor forces his or her ideas on first and second year students. But, in general, it is good to have different groups of students experimenting different theories and styles.
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.
@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!!
@@Wikijojo1 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!
I'm a big sims builder (and rightmove lurker.... i know im not the only one) and wow this video is so good! i dont know if you have one/would want to do one but honestly i'd really love a skillshare/online course from you on interior design- you make it so accessible, comprehendible and - above all- interesting!

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
I’m training to become an interior designer and this was so helpful for show me what excatly I will do i didn’t know I’d also have to do windows and that stuff I really didn’t but this was super helpful for that and thank you
I'm making a Dream home folder with this. Also I love your writting.
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
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 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.
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!
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!
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. ❣
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🙏
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
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
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!
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 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 :)
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.
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
It's funny to see such manual job in a digital world! The procedures were fun to watch!
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☺️
You're actually amazing! I'm an interior design student in college and this helps so much to get a distinction on my projects!
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!
I watched this video a couple of years ago and I just found it again. I am not even interested in interior design that much but this video is just that great!
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!!
Super helpful. Just a few minutes of information and I learned a whole lot. Will start on my own design for my house now
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
same
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
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!
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!
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...).
😮this just blew my mind. I thank you from my heart. I learned a lot today. Be bless.
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!
I'm so stoked how many ppl love this. I draw floorplans. And this is my twin
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'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 really want to become an interior designer when I’m older, and I loved this!💛✨
I'm an Architect and your work process is nice and systematic. Nice work!!
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!
Thanx! This video helped me a lot! I'm online learning Interior design and had hit a "bump" that landed me virtually at a standstill since 11/2020. I made my mind up to get moving and today 4/13/21 I needed to understand exactly what your video covers! Phew, I now have a better understanding of how to use the triangle and the furniture template (with confidence)....😊
Can I ask you what is the name of your online school? I’m looking for an online class.
this is so organized and detailed.. great work there
Thank you so much for this video!! I'm a college student and I'm going into interior design and I always stressed over how I will make my floor plans. I loved the way you did everything and your placements of each room!!
I study interior architecture and design at university and this is so helpful omg. Please do another video!
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 .
thank you so much for this, i really want to become an interior designer when i grow up so this helped me 💛
omg! this is too helpful to watch free.
This is exactly the same what the university taught, especially the bubble diagram.
Really helpful, BTW I'm an architectural design student.
I would LOVE to see more videos like this! You mentioned doing another video on sizing rooms, but 8 months later you still haven’t done it. Myself & im sure others watching this would be super grateful to see that!
thank you so much for thisss! tomorrow i’m starting to practice my floor plans & this really helped.
Dont know how to thank you..live long..sty blessed..and please put so many videos like these as possible
THIS WAS SO DOPE!! Thank you so much for sharing your gift ❣️!
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!
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!
I have no experience with interior design or anything like that because I’ve always been a character designer. But as a creator I’ve always wanted to branch out into architecture and interior design for my stories, drawings, and/or comics, and this has helped MONUMENTALLY. This video alone has already helped me structure better floor plans and I am so relieved that it’s actually possible for me to get into interior design OUTSIDE of my characters
I absolutely love this video! I’m an interior design student and you use the same process/rules that I was taught. I love your videos and content and would love to see more videos like this 😊
Emily Coelho That’s so great to hear. I loved making this video, so I’m sure there will be more to come ❤️
Mimi Estelle Hello, all my life ive always just wanted a job where I make floor plans basically from scratch and the add furniture. Is this what a interior designer does? and if not is there even a job that does just do that?
Quirky Skater it is what an interior designer does, you can’t do so on so many more spaces, not just homes
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!
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.
You do a wonderful job at explaining this. I am currently an Interior Design student, and your video was more informational than my past design class. Thank you, and please continue to teach.
I would love to see your photoshop and autocad process. Currently studying to be an interior designer
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!!!!!
You helped a lot i appreciate everything about this video
Am an architecture student and i find your explainations more understandable. I hope you make more of this kinds of contents.
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."
Okay, you have explained something that is so complex, and made it so easy! What a great job!
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!!
I think you should send this video to every architectural and interior design tutor in every university in the world , in order to make sure that they teach properly these basic skills, which I learnt in BAU in Beirut in 1983. However when I moved to British University/Polytechnic they never mentioned these kind of zoning and when I discussed its importance they refused to know about it, because they thought it is too rigid. They were influenced by Archigram and caring about the portfolio image more than anything else. No theory ,whatsoever, in design they wanted to teach or follow. It is becoming very subjective the teaching of design, and any wishy washy tutor forces his or her ideas on first and second year students. But, in general, it is good to have different groups of students experimenting different theories and styles.
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!!
@@Wikijojo1 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!
I'm a big sims builder (and rightmove lurker.... i know im not the only one) and wow this video is so good! i dont know if you have one/would want to do one but honestly i'd really love a skillshare/online course from you on interior design- you make it so accessible, comprehendible and - above all- interesting!
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!"
