Designing your Dream Home:
Step One: Start with a "Bubble" Design.
Draw bubbles for all major living spaces, and identify each with a letter ("K" for kitchen, "B" for bedroom, and so on). Now have some fun with them. Make loose sketches and don't worry about the accuracy of scale; the spatial relationships between rooms are what matter most now.
Using bubbles to sketch the relationship between spaces will help you choose the ideal locations for each room.
For example, if you want your kitchen to capture morning sun, place it to the east.
Step Two: A Loose Interpretation.
When you have a clear idea of how your rooms should interrelate, you're ready to let those circles take the shape of the actual rooms.
Step Three: A Line Drawing.
Now you can link the rooms in a preliminary line drawing of your floor plan. You can even include interior doorways, major windows, decks - as much detail as you have at this point.
Step Four: Bring Scale into the Picture.
Discover how gratifying it is to bring your preliminary floor plan into scale.
