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)

I'm not even a legit interior designer, I'm just into building in the sims lmao. Helpful for building realistic houses there.

This was so cool. It felt like 8 lectures on floor planning combined in 1 30 min video!

why is no one talking about how well she draws circles

Can u make a video of what is an interior designer? Salary? Education? Life after college?

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 love to see your AutoCAD and Photoshop process! Super informative video; thanks so much for sharing!

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

honestly if my teachers had explained things this easily, I wouldn't have dropped out

O:52 Supplies 3:54 Analyse the program 9:00 Relationship diagram 20:18 Block diagram 22:24 Time to figure out room sizes 24:39 Determinate room sizes 33:07 Refine and Render 34:00 Final outcome

I don't know why I'm here but this is fascinating.

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!

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

I'm making a Dream home folder with this. Also I love your writting.

I need this as a series! This was amazing and comprehensive. Good job!

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!!

THIS WAS SO DOPE!! Thank you so much for sharing your gift ❣️!

Thank you for having the time to explain your process. ❤️🙏

So good Mimi ! Very informative and condensed. An excellent approach to drawing, if not the best.

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.

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

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 😄

Okay, you have explained something that is so complex, and made it so easy! What a great job!

That is so helpful !!!! , im 13 yrs old and im so interested in designing and art thanksss for this video

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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have no idea how much you helped me with this vid, thank you Mimi, this is so valuable!!!!

This is some awesome information! Thank you so much for the detailed information of how to go about it. It's been something I've been wondering about for a while now and you answered that. Thank you again

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

This video really helps me appreciate how much work goes into interior design! Thanks for sharing :D

its amazing how easily she managed to explain the whole process step by step. I loved it!

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 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 really helped me. I typically draw my plans directly into CAD, from sketch onward and revising as I go, but I like how this process works!

I'm happy I've found your KZfaq Channel. Thanks for what you do! Very helpful.

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 so much for thisss! tomorrow i’m starting to practice my floor plans & this really helped.

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!

This was so interesting to watch. I have been into interior design since I was little! And this video helped me learn new things!

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!

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!

Thank you so much!! What a wonderful process to use to communicate with our architect what we want!!

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 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

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!

Wow,thanks alot for this video,Mimi...so neat,well laid out,easy to understand and not complicated or complex...Interior designing has always been my passion,but I didn't know how to go about spacing layout but this has given me a headstart on what to do and how to do it,thanks once again🤗.

@mimiestelle i really loved your work and the way you explained it in detail.. we would really like to see more of these. Thank you for this amazing video. ❤️

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.

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

Mimi Thank you so much for the amazing floor planing video! I am so impressed with your process. :)

Wow, that was so visually beautiful and organised

this is so organized and detailed.. great work there

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.

Thank you so much for making this video! I've been struggling with my floor plan for ever! This was very informative!

Its so satisfying & your work is amazing.

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!

thank you so much for this, i really want to become an interior designer when i grow up so this helped me 💛

Wow. I loved the process explained beautifully in this video. Good Job.

😮this just blew my mind. I thank you from my heart. I learned a lot today. Be bless.

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!

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. ❣

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 was so helpful! Legit explained it perfectly and I'm going to try using this process for my own projects!

I really want to become an interior designer when I’m older, and I loved this!💛✨

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 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 .

Omg i just found this today and this is so helpful. I got stuck in floorplanning for my own dreamhouse but i have really clearly in mind what should be next to each other and that helps a lot and i gonna try this out tomorrow:D

I study interior architecture and design at university and this is so helpful omg. Please do another video!

You helped a lot i appreciate everything about this video

Hello 😃 thank you 🙏 lots of fun to make floor house 🏡 plans & yes we will love to see you doing the auto cad & photo shop ❤

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 am an interior design student and love seeing how your process works. Please upload more videos on interior design! Thanks for your content :)

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 a very inviting educational video to interior design, so friendly and approachable that is lacking in many educators, well done!

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!

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'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.

Thank you so much for this video and your link to design tool! I've missed a few classes and this has been great!

This is amazing content! You’re great at explaining what you’re doing. First video I’ve watched on making floor plans specifically (I watch a lot of interior design content) and I feel like I got lucky! 😂❤️

This is nice floor plan process❤

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

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’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 was super interesting to watch. I never knew that there was so much that went into interior planning! thank you for the video 💖

Brilliant video! I've recently become interested in interior design and obviously understanding how to create floor plans is necessary in my success. Thank you so much for this video!

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

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 😊

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. ❤

WOW thank you for sharing this, it makes complete sense to do it like this and it's soooo helpful!! great job

This is such a great video! To be honest we only briefly went over bubble diagrams in my space planning class, and I am only now fully understanding the purpose behind the bubble diagram!

Amazing content..that why women are goOd at planning than men period... Love from india

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.

Super helpful. Just a few minutes of information and I learned a whole lot. Will start on my own design for my house now

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 your photoshop and autocad process. Currently studying to be an interior designer

This video was so helpful! I'm getting ready to design my she shed and this is what I'm going to use!

The best video on youtube for this topic so informative and logical.
