A 3D bathroom planner is the best tool to provide all the support and preparation you need to succeed. As a free, intuitive platform, it lets you create a bathroom design on a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Draw the outline of the room and customize it with the features and furnishings you want. Then watch as it evolves into a stunning 3D model that can be used to execute plans for a real-life reno. It’s so easy, anyone can use it. Find out how you can get started on your design with a bathroom planner, and why it’s such a helpful tool to have by your side.

What is a Bathroom Layout Planner?

Used by professionals and homeowners, a bathroom layout planner is an online platform that lets you illustrate designs and create high-quality floor plans using furniture and materials. With thousands of features, products, and tools accessible, you can brainstorm and plan every aspect of a bathroom build or remodel. Upload an existing floor plan to use, choose a template to customize, or find ideas through your planner’s inspiration hub. Intuitive and user-friendly, this free software lets anyone customize, visualize, and “feel out” a design, making it an invaluable tool for streamlining projects.

How to Use a Bathroom Floor Planner?

Although it used to be regarded as room that merely served a practical purpose, today, the bathroom has evolved into so much more. Dedicated to pampering and a little luxury, it’s the space where we can indulge and unwind in some personal downtime. So, it’s worth getting right to make the most of it. Here’s how you can do just that using a bathroom floor planner.

Let's walk through the process step-by-step:

1

1 Step 1. Create the Outline of the Bathroom

Using easy drag-and-drop tools and features, assemble the outline of the bathroom. Draw and connect the walls by clicking and moving them into place.

Include doorways and windows by selecting them from the planner’s product library. Use the measurement tool to enter the size and dimensions of the room.

This will generate a proper floor plan of the bathroom that’s to scale, which will serve as a base for filling in the details of the design.

2 Step 2. Design and Furnish the Bathroom

Change the top-down bathroom outline into 3D mode to start planning, arranging the layout, and constructing a design. To begin, search through the bathroom planner’s online library to find products to use.

Select paint colors, flooring tile, vanities, wallpaper, bathtubs, and anything else you want to create a perfect bathroom. When you find something that you’d like to add to your virtual mockup, simply click to drag and position it within your layout.

Change it up and experiment with different styles or narrow down your search to find a specific look, whether traditional, industrial, or modern.

3 Step 3. Save, Compare and Share Your Design

When finished, save the design or duplicate it to review, compare and decide on your favorite features to keep or discard.

To examine the newly designed bathroom in-depth, take a virtual walkthrough. Use the Live Floor Plan feature to move through and analyze it from a 360° perspective.

When the design is ready to share, send a direct link to present your project or get others to review it. To remember every element of the design, print HD panoramic images to use as a blueprint. It’s that simple!
