Studio apartment floor plan template

Who this layout suits

• Renters and buyers who want to check, to scale, whether their furniture fits a listing before they move.
• Landlords and letting agencies who need a clean plan for a studio listing in a few minutes.
• Conversions: a garage, loft, garden room, basement or granny flat (ADU) with its own shower room.
• Student and micro-living rooms with an en-suite, where every 10 cm counts.

Room sizes and how they compare

US average from RentCafe's 2024 apartment size analysis. The English figures are the nationally described space standard, which applies where a council has adopted it. Rules elsewhere differ, so check your local requirements before you build or let a space.

Furniture to plan around: a double bed is about 135–140 × 190 cm (a US full is 54 × 75 in), a queen is 152 × 203 cm (60 × 80 in), a two-seat sofa is 150–180 cm (5–6 ft) wide, and a single-run kitchenette needs 2–3 m (7–10 ft) of wall for a sink, a hob and a fridge.

Layout tips for a studio

1. Sleep away from the door. Put the bed in the corner farthest from the entrance, so the front door never opens onto it. A bookcase or open shelving can screen it without blocking daylight.
2. Keep water together. Place the kitchenette on or near the bathroom wall, as in this template, so supply pipes and drains stay short.
3. Protect one clear route. Keep a path at least 80–90 cm (32–36 in) wide from the door to the window; furniture goes either side of it.
4. Give the window to the place you sit. Daylight matters most at a desk or sofa, less at the bed or hob.
5. Leave working space in front of the kitchen. About 1 m (36–42 in) of clear floor lets a door, an oven and a person share it.
6. Mind the shower room door. In a small bathroom a pocket or sliding door frees the floor that a hinged door sweeps; both are in the editor's door styles.
7. Draw furniture at its real size. The furniture library uses real dimensions, so a sofa bed, a drop-leaf table or a bed with drawers can be tested before you buy.

Make it yours in the editor

Drag any wall and the room areas update as you go. Select a room to type its inside width and depth, add doors, windows and 50+ furniture items, and switch between metric and imperial at any time. On the free plan you can share a view-only link or download a watermarked image; Pro adds PDF export to scale (for example 1:50 or 1/4″ = 1′), more projects and more floors. New to drawing plans?

Questions

How big is a studio apartment?

In the US the average studio was about 457 sq ft (42 m²) in 2024, according to RentCafe, and many city studios are smaller. In England, councils that apply the nationally described space standard ask for at least 37 m² for a one-person home with a shower room, or 39 m² with a bathroom. This template is a compact 24.7 m² (265 sq ft) inside, and every wall can be resized.

Will a double or queen bed fit?

Yes. The main room is 5.85 × 4.35 m inside, less the shower-room corner. A queen bed (152 × 203 cm, 60 × 80 in) fits against the long wall with a sofa and a kitchenette, but the walkways get tighter; a full or double bed leaves more room. Drag a bed from the furniture library and check the gaps against the dimensions.

Can I change the template to feet and inches?

Yes. Switch units in the editor at any time; every dimension and room area updates.

Is the template free?

Yes. On the free plan you can open the template, edit it, keep it as your one saved project, share a view-only link and download a watermarked image. Printing a PDF to scale and adding more floors need Pro.
