How to Layout a Business Floor Plan

by Jill Harness

Published on 29 Apr 2019

In offices, where you seat your employees matters . Open floor plans can allow for increased teamwork and more sharing of ideas, while cubicles are important when your employees need more privacy due to confidentiality concerns. Which employees get seated at windows and who is nearest the door is something that requires a lot of consideration. That's why laying out the floor plan of a new company or department (or even one you just want to rearrange) is so important to do before you actually move a single piece of furniture.

What is a Floor Plan?

A floor plan is a drawing, designed to scale, that shows the relationship between rooms, spaces, furniture and other physical features as they would be viewed from up above. This helps you get a better idea of how things like desks and cubicles can best be arranged in the office, where to sit certain employees or whole departments, and how people will move throughout the space. You never want to start putting out cubicles only to realize you have to pack them all back out again in order to make sure there are enough for everyone in your company.

Small business floor plans can even be useful to consider before signing a lease on a building to ensure the space will actually suit your needs. If you need to make sure you have space for all of your employees, two offices for upper management, an office for the HR department, a conference room, a breakroom and a smaller room for client consultations, a floor plan can help ensure all of this will fit in your potential property. If you're having a property constructed for your business, a floor plan can help ensure you have it built in a way that will be most beneficial for your needs.

Decide Which Type of Office Layout is Appropriate

You need to consider what kind of office layout to use for your company before arranging the furniture. While you could do a different floor plan for each possible layout, it is usually more beneficial to learn about the benefits of each type of office floor plan and have an idea of what you want first . You can find business floor plans examples online that show just about every possible option for office layouts based on different room dimensions. This can help you choose the right business layout for your floor plan.

Different Business Floor Plans Examples

A few of the most common office layouts these days are cellular, open, co-working and combination . Cellular office layouts are those that use cubicles. Many enjoy these layouts because they allow for more privacy, but they also can reduce communication and leave people feeling shut off and isolated from their co-workers. Open layouts require everyone to share a workspace together with low or no partitions, which results in less privacy and more noise but increased communication.

Co-working layouts are relatively new options that are similar to open layouts only workers generally do not have an assigned workspace, allowing them to choose a space that suits their needs for the moment as needed. Most co-working layouts offer a few private rooms that can be used for privacy purposes when necessary. Combination offices are also a new idea, consisting of small offices or cubicle clusters laid out in smaller spaces than they would be in a cellular layout. These also offer ample communal spaces, offering employees the benefits of a cellular office and an open office at the same time.

Consider Your Office's Needs

When making a business floor plan, it's easy to focus solely on making sure you find a way to organize all of your employees using the office layout you have chosen, but don't forget your other needs as well . Do you expect to have a lot of business meetings? Then you'll need plenty of conference rooms. If you expect people to be on their feet a lot in the office, you need to make sure workspaces aren't too closely cramped together.

Don't forget to leave space for printers, copiers, file cabinets, plants, artwork, office supply cabinets, water coolers, coffee stations, etc. because it can be easy to forget about these things when laying out your floor plan.

Even recreational activities and amenities you plan on offering might need consideration. If you want a TV in the breakroom, you need to include it in your plan. If you want to be able to do potluck lunches for the whole team periodically, then you need to make sure you plan on having enough table and counter space for everyone to be able to bring their own dishes. Finally, be sure your walkways and other spaces are wide enough to be navigated by a wheelchair in order to ensure your office is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act .

Preparing to Create Floor Plans

While you're considering what you need to include in your floor plan, be sure to write down all of your requirements including both features, like wide walkways, and furniture and other large objects. Next, make measurements of your space, including:

  • The walls from side to side and floor to ceiling
  • Where each door, window and entryway sits on the walls
  • The location of electrical outlets, switches and other necessary controls
  • Any built-in architectural features including shelves, benches, counters, fireplaces, etc.
  • All objects that will be located inside your space

Floor Plan Creation

You can make a floor plan with a pen or pencil and a piece of paper (graph paper will make drawing to scale easier), or with a free online floor plan designer, which many people find to be easier. If you draw your floor plan manually, you'll have to do more math and pay more attention to ensure everything is drafted to scale (most people prefer a scale of 1/4 inch to 1 foot), whereas online tools can handle all the scaling for you so you just have to enter your measurements. It can also be easier to make changes with an online tool than when working manually.

While you can move furniture and building features easily when working with an online tool, it can be hard to move these if you draw them in. This is why people working manually should draw these features on a second piece of paper and then cut them out so they can be moved around on the building page until you're totally happy with your layout. Be sure to work somewhere where there's no wind or fan and where your floor plan won't be disturbed. It can also help to take a picture of your floor plan when you're done working on it for a time just in case something does get knocked off the building drawing.

Whether you work online or on paper, take time to be sure you've met all the requirements you set before you began the floor plan. When you think you're done, be sure to review your requirements list and make sure you like the spatial arrangement, the flow of traffic, the ease of communication, the amount of privacy and the general accessibility of the space. After you're totally content with your floor plan layout, show it to someone else (preferably someone familiar with your company) and ask them to give you feedback on your design – they may notice something important you never would have considered before.

Guide to Designing the Perfect Floor Plan for Your Small Business

Guide to Designing the Perfect Floor Plan for Your Small Business

When it comes to creating the ideal floor plan for your small business, you must consider layout, design, and implementation. For an effective shopping experience, a floor plan is essential since it dictates where merchandise, equipment, and the checkout process should be placed. You must put out the necessary effort to ensure that your design will be efficient for your staff and your customers. In order to achieve this, you must learn why a floor plan is important, how to plan the layout of your store, and where the checkout line will be. Check out below for why these factors are necessary to designing the best floor plan:

Why is a Floor Plan Important?

The set up of your store has a huge influence on customer experience and satisfaction. Having a floor plan that represents your company’s vision and leaves your customer with a positive association with your company is key. If your floor layout restricts their movement and doesn’t provide enough space, it might make them feel anxious, and they may decide to leave your business. Make sure to have enough space between merchandise. This is referred to as “an open layout,” which will put customers at ease and shop longer. As a small business owner, you may group products together to make it easier for clients to find different items in one place.

Plan your Layout by Products

Now it is time to strategize how you will layout your store. As previously mentioned, organizing your layout around your items is a great approach for building a successful floor plan for your store. You may need to research what products are the most popular and what else is trending each season. Product placement is helpful in this regard. You should be placing popular products in areas of the store where they will grab the most attention. If you do have popular products, the best place to put the items are in the middle or front of the store. Customers will notice your items immediately if they are displayed in a place where everyone passing by your store would recognize them. Customers will also appreciate that your store is up to date on the latest trends and will view your store as “trendy.” Being trendy may attract a large number of customers, yet failing to keep up with the latest trends will cause people to perceive your shop as “outdated.”

It is also important to have product organization for shoppers to easily find what they’re looking for. If you sell band-aids, for example, you may put a first-aid kit or any other injury-related product on the shelf. Customers will have an easier time finding what they’re looking for since they were able to find a product that will help them recover an ailment. As a result, if your related products are close together, your customers will have a pleasant shopping experience and you will receive positive feedback.

You can also have some fun with the checkout area by showcasing products that shoppers would find appealing as impulsive purchases. Any small item such as snacks or tiny gifts that are easy to grab are ideal for an impulsive buy. Customers will gravitate towards an item that captures their eye and purchase more than they anticipated. By having these products in the checkout line, customers will have an engaging checkout experience and your overall revenue will increase. It is definitely a win-win situation for all!

Where to put Your POS and Checkout System

Another crucial component of your floor layout is the positioning of your POS (Point of Sale) and checkout system. You may need to think about how you want to position your checkout to leave enough room for a line without being too overcrowded. To allow enough space for your items, the checkout line should be in the back of your store. Once you have done this, now you must think about what POS system will help make your customers’ shopping experience more enjoyable. Luckily, National Retail Solutions (NRS) offers a great POS system to make your check out experience more efficient. The NRS Pay Credit Card Processing system is a great option for quick and easy payment. The customer can swipe, dip, tap, or key payment all in one place!

Starting a business can be a daunting undertaking.

A plan is also a powerful tool for communication and can serve as a cornerstone for onboarding new partners and employees or for demonstrating your philosophy and priorities to potential collaborators. 

A solid business plan will not only provide a framework for your business going forward but will also give you an early opportunity to organize and refine your thoughts and define your mission statement, providing a guidepost that can serve as a beacon for your business for years to come. We’ve provided a business plan template below to help guide you in the creation of your new enterprise.

What should a business plan include?

Regardless of the type of business you own or the products and services you provide, every business plan should include some core elements:

  • Mission statement. The definition and executive summary of your business.
  • Market analysis. A breakdown of the market segment and customers you hope to reach, built through primary (gathered by you) and secondary (gathered from outside sources) research.
  • Organization and logistics. The nuts and bolts of how your business is operated
  • Products or services. What your company provides its customers.
  • Advertising and marketing. How you intend to get your products in front of your customers.
  • Forecasting. Revenue forecasting for partners or potential investors.

Why do you need a business plan?

A business plan is a framework for success. It provides a number of key benefits:

  • Structure. The outline around which to design your business.
  • Operational guidance. A signpost for how to run your business from day to day.
  • Expansion. A vision for the future growth of your enterprise.
  • Definition. A platform to consider every element of your business and how best to execute your plans for them.
  • Collaboration. A synopsis of what’s exceptional about your business and a way to attract funding, investment or partnerships.
  • Onboarding. An efficient summary of your business for new or potential employees.

Business plan examples

We’ve created two fictional companies to illustrate how a business might use a business plan to sketch out goals and opportunities as well as forecast revenue.

Bling, Incorporated

Our first hypothetical example is a jewelry and accessory creator called Bling, Incorporated. A hybrid business that manufactures its products for sale both online and through physical retail channels, Bling’s mission statement is focused on transforming simple, inexpensive ingredients into wearable statement pieces of art. 

Market analysis includes gathering data around sourcing sustainable, inexpensive components, aesthetic trends in fashion and on which platforms competitors have had success in advertising jewelry to prospective customers. Logistics include shipping products, negotiating with retailers, establishing an e-commerce presence and material and manufacturing costs. 

Bling, Incorporated advertises initially through social platforms like TikTok and Facebook, as well as with Google AdSense, with plans to eventually expand to television advertising. Revenue forecasting is structured around a low overhead on the basis of inexpensive materials, no dedicated storefront and broad reach through digital platforms.

Phaeton Custom Cars

Phaeton is a custom car builder and classic car restoration business with a regional focus and reach. Its mission statement defines it as a local, family-owned business serving a community of auto enthusiasts and a broader regional niche of collectors. 

Market analysis breaks down the location and facilities of other competitor shops in the region as well as online communities of regional car enthusiasts likely to spend money on custom modifications or restoration projects. It also examines trends in valuations for custom parts and vintage cars. Logistics include pricing out parts and labor, finding skilled or apprentice laborers and mortgaging a garage and equipment. 

Phaeton advertises in regional publications, at local events and regional car shows and online through Facebook and Instagram, with an emphasis on a social presence highlighting their flashiest builds. Revenue forecasting is built around a growing reputation and high-value commissions.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

A business plan may not be a prerequisite for every type of business, but there are few businesses that wouldn’t benefit from one. It can serve as an important strategic tool and help crystalize a vision of your business and its future.

Business plans do just that: they help you plan the future of your business, serve as a platform to brainstorm ideas and think through your vision and are a great tool for showcasing why your business works to potential investors or partners.

You could live like royalty in a 900-year-old castle, but it will cost you about $12 million. Take a look inside.

  • Appleby Castle in the UK is on the market for around $12 million.
  • It's a 12th-century motte-and-bailey castle, with Norman foundations and an Ancient Roman past.
  • The grand property has 22 bedrooms, a great hall, a tennis court, and lots of history.

Insider Today

Nestled on picturesque parkland near England's Lake District, Appleby Castle boasts a rich history spanning almost a millennia.

The property, which is currently being used primarily as a hotel, is on the market for around $12 million, and could easily be converted back into a home fit for royalty.

In fact, it has, over the years, been visited by kings, adding to the property's grandeur.

If you're after a piece of history , UK Sotheby's International Reality has the property listed for £9,500,000, or roughly $11,900,000.

Take a look inside.

A 12th-century motte-and-bailey castle is on the market for $12 million.

floor plan design for business

Appleby Castle in Cumbria is a motte-and-bailey castle, meaning it has a keep — a fortified tower — situated on a raised area of ground called a motte.

The term is of Norman-French origin, as is the castle itself.

Ranulf le Meschin, a Norman magnate who served King Henry I, is believed to have laid the castle's earliest foundations at the beginning of the 12th century.

However, excavations suggest there may have been a fort on the site going as far back as Roman times.

Appleby Castle, held by kings of both Scotland and England, switched hands a lot.

floor plan design for business

The castle has been held by monarchs of both Scotland and England.

When le Meschin became Earl of Chester, the castle came under the control of the English Crown.

Subsequently, it was taken by the Scots, with the lordship bestowed upon Hugh de Morville — whose son was one of the assassins of Thomas Becket in 1170.

The ensuing years saw the castle change hands multiple times.

"Ceded to the Scots, recaptured by the English, and embroiled in the Wars of the Roses, the castle saw its fair share of turmoil," UK Sotheby's International Realty said in a press release provided to BI.

The oldest surviving building is a stone tower, built around 1170.

floor plan design for business

The castle's original wooden keep was replaced with a stone keep called Caesar's Tower in about 1170, according to Historic UK.

The walls of the three-story stone keep are 1.8 meters thick, per Sotheby's.

It's the oldest surviving building of the castle and is Grade I listed, along with the castle's main building. This means the buildings are sites of exceptional national, architectural, or historical importance.

Appleby Castles is situated along a river, on acres of parkland, and near a historic market town.

floor plan design for business

The castle is situated along the River Eden and comes with fishing rights.

It is set among 25 acres of picturesque parkland, which the castle's website describes as a setting that would "lend itself to a period drama."

According to Visit Cumbria, the local tourism board, rare breeds of sheep, goats, pheasants, hens, doves, ducks, geese, and teals roam the grounds.

There are several outbuildings, including three cottages being used as vacation rentals.

There's even a walled garden and tennis court.

The castle is near Appleby-in-Westmorland, a market town with shops, restaurants, and popular walking trails.

There are 22 bedrooms, including one used primarily to host visiting dignitaries.

floor plan design for business

Appleby Castle has 22 bedrooms and 19 bathrooms, offering ample space for hosting parties or generating income via listing it as luxury accommodation.

The State Bedroom, pictured, features a headboard dated to 1590 that was believed to have belonged to Lady Anne Clifford, a wealthy dowager responsible for restoring the castle in the 1600s.

Its purpose was to host visiting dignitaries.

Some of the bedrooms have centuries-old furniture that would be included in the sale.

floor plan design for business

Near the State Bedroom, the "Evidence" Room features a 17th-century four-poster oak bed, along with an antique wardrobe and furnishings.

Many of the other bedrooms also have authentic furniture, most of which the future owner will be able to keep.

Sally Nightingale, who now owns the houses, told Bloomberg that she'll keep "one or two pieces" but the rest will be included in the sale.

While there's old panelling and historic furnishings, it does come with modern amenities.

floor plan design for business

According to Bloomberg, much of the paneling and interior decoration is around 400 years old.

When the current owner moved into the property in 1997, she told Bloomberg that many of the decorations were well-preserved.

However, some of the furnishings, including from the Victorian era, were not "the right period," Nightingale said.

She said she replaced these pieces with more historically accurate furnishings.

Despite the abundance of period features, the property also comes with modern amenities like WiFi, a gym, a hot tub, a sauna, and a games room.

There are opportunities for a Downtown Abbey dining experience.

floor plan design for business

There are several places to enjoy a regal meal , including a 15th-century dining hall.

The hall, which can seat around 20 people for a banquet, dates back to around 1454.

The current owner told Bloomberg that she will, on occasion, shut down the hotel and "sit in the dining room, which is obviously like Downton Abbey."

Appleby Castle has an extravagant Great Hall.

floor plan design for business

The Great Hall underwent a remodel with oak paneling in about 1686, according to Celtic Castle.

It's currently being used as a restaurant and can seat around 100 guests.

It's a popular spot for weddings and banquets.

It also features replica armor.

floor plan design for business

A rare replica of the Clifford Armour, worn by George Clifford, a favorite of Queen Elizabeth I and a champion jouster, is on display in the Great Hall.

Clifford was the father of Lady Anne Clifford, the dowager responsible for many of the property's renovations.

The real armor is now on display at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.

There's also a museum dedicated to the castle's Norman history.

floor plan design for business

Nightingale transformed part of the castle's keep into a museum called the Norman Centre.

It has four floors and displays items that tell the history of the country's Norman occupation and how that intertwines with Appleby Castle's own past.

Over the years, Appleby has housed royals, served as a county jail, and, most recently, become a hotel.

floor plan design for business

Appleby Castle boasts a rich history, having welcomed royals, including King Edward I and King James I.

But it was also home to less illustrious characters when it was used as the county jail of Westmorland, according to the Cumberland & Westmorland Herald.

Its most recent reincarnation occurred in 2013 when the current owner transformed it into a hotel.

According to Bloomberg, she left a 7,750-square-foot wing for her own private use.

But it could easily be transformed back into a private residence, the current owner says.

floor plan design for business

Due to the fact that Appleby Castle is Grade I listed, minimal changes were allowed when it was transformed into a hotel a decade ago.

Nightingale told Bloomberg that this means it would be relatively straightforward to revert the property back into a private home.

The property is particularly popular with Americans, the current owner says. The town has a link to George Washington.

floor plan design for business

The castle attracts a significant number of visitors from the United States, potentially making it an enticing prospect for affluent American investors.

In addition to the castle's historical allure, Americans love that George Washington's father and uncles went to school in Appleby, Nightingale told Bloomberg.

"The Americans love it," she told the news outlet.

Sotheby's describes it as an 'unparalleled time capsule.'

floor plan design for business

The property is a remarkable piece of history, according to Sotheby's International Realty.

"The mansion, featuring a Great Hall, staircase, dining room, state bedroom, and other elegant rooms, remains remarkably preserved and is an unparalleled time capsule tucked in some of Britain's most beautiful countryside," it said.
