Setting per-room flooring

Each room can have its own flooring. Open the Flooring tab, tap a room, and choose tile, hardwood, or carpet — then fine-tune plank size and wood tone.

A floor plan reads true when each room has the right floor — tile in the bathroom, carpet in the bedroom, hardwood through the living areas. In RoomSketch3D you set flooring per room in a couple of taps, and it renders in both 2D and 3D.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Open the Flooring tab

    In the left panel, switch from Structural to the Flooring tab. You'll see the prompt: Tap a room to set tile, hardwood, or carpet. Rooms are detected automatically from your interior walls and the openings (doors, French doors, openings) in them — so every enclosed space is ready to floor.

    Switch to the Flooring tab — each auto-detected room is ready for its own floor.
  2. 2

    Tap a room and pick a material

    Tap the room you want — the Flooring panel opens with a map of every room. Choose Tiles, Hardwood, or Carpet, then pick a colour or tone. Here the bedroom gets a soft beige carpet; the floor updates immediately in the plan.

    Tap a room, choose the material, then the colour — bedroom set to beige carpet.
  3. 3

    Set plank size and tone for hardwood

    Pick Hardwood and the panel adds plank controls: a Width (3.25" up to 1') and Length (3' up to 12'), plus a row of wood tones. Set the open area to 8"-wide, 6'-long planks for long, natural grain lines. Tiles and carpet have their own colour and finish options.

    Hardwood adds plank Width and Length plus wood tones — here, 8" × 6' planks.
  4. 4

    Repeat per room

    Work through the plan: tile the bathroom, carpet the bedroom, and run hardwood through the open living, kitchen and dining — each room keeps its own floor.

    The bathroom gets water-resistant tile — each room set independently.
  5. 5

    See it in 3D

    Switch to 3D View and orbit or walk through — every room renders its own flooring, so the whole home reads the way it will in real life.

    In 3D, carpet, tile, and hardwood all render true to life.

Tips

Rooms are auto-detected

Flooring works on enclosed rooms, which RoomSketch3D detects from your interior walls and their openings. If a space isn't selectable, check that its walls fully enclose it and any doorways are placed as openings.

Match flooring to room function

Tile or vinyl for wet rooms (bath, laundry, entry), carpet for bedrooms, hardwood or laminate for living and dining — the fastest way to make a plan feel real.

Keep hardwood consistent across open areas

For an open-plan living/kitchen/dining, use the same hardwood, plank size, and tone throughout so the space reads as one.

Frequently asked questions

Can different rooms have different floors?

Yes — that's the point. Each room is set independently: tile the bathroom, carpet the bedroom, hardwood the rest. Open the Flooring tab and tap each room.

Can I change the hardwood plank size and tone?

Yes. Set a room to hardwood and the Flooring panel shows plank Width and Length options plus a range of wood tones to pick from.

How are rooms detected for flooring?

Automatically. RoomSketch3D finds enclosed rooms from your interior walls and their openings (doors, French doors, openings), so each space is ready to floor without any extra setup.

Does flooring show in 3D?

Yes. Every material renders in both the 2D plan and the 3D view, so you can walk through and see the floors as they'll look.
