Drawing Plans to Scale: Design with confidence, not guesswork

Ever bought furniture that looked perfect… but didn’t fit? If you can draw a line, you can design a space.

Have you ever looked at a scale ruler and put it down straight away because it seemed too complicated? It isn't when you know what it all means.

This course teaches you the one skill every designer relies on: drawing plans accurately to scale.

You’ll learn how to translate real spaces onto paper so you can test layouts, proportions, and ideas before making costly mistakes. No maths fear. No overwhelm. Just clear, practical methods that finally make scale click.

Whether you’re a homeowner, student, or aspiring designer, this course gives you the confidence to plan spaces that actually work: on paper and in real life.

Drawing to scale is the difference between hoping a layout works and knowing it will. You’ll stop guessing and start making design decisions with clarity. I’ll guide you step-by-step through the tools, techniques, and thinking behind scale plans, breaking everything down into simple, approachable lessons that build real confidence. This isn’t about being “good at drawing.” It’s about learning how designers think.

You’ll gain a skill you’ll use again and again — for your own home, client projects, or further design studies.

Simple tools. Clear explanations. Real-world application.
No fluff. Just solid design foundations.

Because great design always starts with scale drawing.

Take the course at your own pace, as quickly or as slowly as you want. Each lesson is carefully curated to take you step by step, increasing your confidence as you go. The course material will consist of written and video instructions.
