- Round each final answer to the nearest whole number if needed.
- Living room (11’4″ x 16′)
- Bedroom (11’6″ x 12’10”)
- Dining room (assume it’s 10’7″ x 8’3″)
- Find the total area of the apartment in square feet only.
- Assume the apartment is 17 ft by 35 ft
- Never mind on this: Storage – how many boxes can fit in the back half?
- I’m removing the storage question from this project
- Bedroom furniture – what will fit?
- Use the bedroom drawing in the floor plan at the bottom of this page.
- Draw a sketch of your furniture within the bedroom diagram, showing the measurements of each item.
- Be sure everything fits, you still have walking space, and no doors are blocked.
- Option 1 – use your current furniture
- Measure all the furniture in your current bedroom that you’d like to move to your new apartment.
- Show a picture or drawing of each item with the measurements.
- You can take an actual picture of each item of your real furniture, or find an image online of a similar item.
- Here’s an example of what you should show for each item (picture AND measurements):
-
Example: Night Stand 29 inches wide
21 inches deep
28 inches high
-
- Draw a sketch of the furniture within the bedroom diagram including the measurements to show that everything fits.
- Option 2 – find furniture online
- Follow the steps above for Option 1, but find new furniture items online.
- Show a screenshot of each item including its measurements.
- Draw a sketch of the furniture within the bedroom diagram including the measurements to show that everything fits.
