βœ… Can an Interior Designer Draw Plans?

1. Yes – Interior Designers Prepare:

  • Space Plans / Layouts
    • Furniture placement, circulation flow, and room zoning.
  • 2D Drawings
    • Floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, electrical & lighting layouts, flooring patterns.
  • 3D Visualizations
    • Renders to help clients visualize the finished interiors.
  • Detailing Drawings
    • For modular kitchens, wardrobes, false ceilings, and custom furniture.

2. But They Do NOT Handle:

  • Structural drawings (load-bearing walls, foundations).
  • Government approvals (building permits, HUDA/DDA approvals).
    πŸ‘‰ These are done by licensed architects or structural engineers.

3. Interior Designers vs. Architects

  • Architect β†’ Creates structural design, building plans, and gets approvals.
  • Interior Designer β†’ Optimizes space, aesthetics, and functionality within the structure.

4. Tools They Use

Interior designers use AutoCAD, SketchUp, 3ds Max, Revit, and Photoshop to create professional 2D drawings and 3D models.

🏠 Final Answer

πŸ‘‰ Yes, an interior designer can draw plans β€” including 2D layouts, furniture plans, ceiling/electrical drawings, and 3D renders.
However, for structural or approval-related plans, you’ll still need an architect or engineer.

⚑ Pro Tip: In Delhi NCR, many interior designers collaborate with architects, so clients get both structural + interior drawings under one service.
