A floor plan is a diagram that shows you the layout of an area from above (Top View). Floor plans typically show the location of walls, windows, and doors, as well as installations such as furniture, cabinetry and appliances. Floor Plans are usually drawn to scale and will indicate room types and room dimensions. It is very much like a map, with lengths and widths, sizes and scales of how far apart things are. Walls, doorways, and windows are usually drawn to scale, meaning proportions are somewhat accurate even if a scale designation (such as 1 inch=1 foot) is not indicated. Built-in furniture and equipment like bathtubs, sinks, and closets are often showcased in floor plans of a house
