Free Graph Paper For Bathroom Remodeling

If you're remodeling your bathroom then you'll need some free graph paper

Scale diagrams are not difficult to draw and they can make you life so much easier when you start to remodel your bathroom. The trick is to use some graph paper to make it easier to keep to all the measurements. I'll show you where to get some free graph paper later.

Yes there is software you could use to design your bathroom

Why does everyone want software to do everything for them today? People expect that all they have to do is buy a remodeling or design program for their PC and it will do the job for them. Well this just isn't the case. Is there software available? Yes there is and some very good programs there are too. Will it make your life easier when you remodel your bathroom at home? Unlikely.

Now if you are a property developer or a professional designer of kitchens and bathrooms then remodeling software is an essential part of your life because it enables you to reuse your work over and over again. However if you are just redesigning your bathroom at home then I would advise against it.

Scale drawing isn't so hard

All you have to do is accurately measure your bathroom and divide all the measurements by a suitable number so that it will fit onto the size of paper you are going to use. For instance if you have a bathroom that's 8 foot by 10 foot and you want to make the drawing fit onto a piece of graph paper that has 16 squares by 25 squares then a suitable scale would be 1 foot = 2 squares. You can then draw the outline of your bathroom as 16 squares by 20 squares.

Cut out the bathroom fixtures and arrange them on the graph paper

This is the fun part of the job. It's like fitting together a jigsaw puzzle but there might be more than one way for the pieces to go. You will need a few sheets of graph paper for this. Draw the outline of your bathroom on one sheet of graph paper and the outlines of the toilet, bathtub, shower, washbasin and other stuff on another sheet. You may need a few sheets of paper to draw fixtures of differing shapes and sizes to try out in the plan. Cut out the paper fixtures and spend time arranging them to fit over your outline bathroom drawing.

Getting your bathroom design right first time

Make sure you spend plenty of time on the design phase of your project because whatever you come up with will be what you have live with for some time to come so it pays to get it right from the beginning.

Draw plans of the bathroom walls and the floor

You will need one scale drawing of the floor plan looking down into the room. You will also need drawings of any wall that you are going to renovate too. Wall plans should show the position of any windows, cupboards and the bathroom fixtures.

Discuss your bathroom makeover plans with your contractors

Before you finalise your design make sure that you have discussed it with your contractors to avoid any disappointments later. They will point out any problems with the arrangement and any difficulties that you might face with regulatory requirements that you must adhere to.
