How to Use Maket: Design Your Home from Idea to 3D

A step-by-step guide to help you generate a plan, edit it visually, and see your space rendered in minutes.

Maket is an all-in-one AI tool that lets anyone design residential floor plans in minutes.

Generate new plans from your requirements, upload and edit existing ones (coming soon) to explore renovations and additions. Visualize your project from conceptual sketches to photorealistic renders. All in one simple workspace. Easy to learn, with no steep learning curve.

Here is how it works.    

Note: Maket is evolving fast. New features and improvements are released regularly, so some steps or interface details in this guide may change over time. We will keep this page updated as the platform grows.



Step 1: Create or upload your floor plan

Start by choosing your path: create a new floor plan from scratch, or upload an existing one (coming soon).

To create a new plan, Maket works like a conversation. You chat with the AI, answer a few questions, and it generates a complete floor plan. No forms, no drag-and-drop required.

The AI asks you four things:

  1. Number of floors (1 to 4)

  2. Floor plan area in square feet or square meters

  3. Floor plan shape (rectangular, L-shaped, U-shaped, T-shaped, and others)

  4. Preferred rooms using a selector: bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, living room, dining room, laundry, closets, and more. Use + and - to adjust quantities, or click "Add room" for custom spaces.

Hit confirm, and Maket generates a floor plan with accurate dimensions and logical room connections in minutes.

Tip: Start simple. A basic 2-bedroom layout will show you how Maket works. Refine from there.

Coming soon: Upload your existing floor plan (PNG, JPG, or PDF) and use Maket to modify it. Ideal for renovations and additions.

Step 2: Edit your layout

Refine your plan with the drag-and-drop visual editor:


  • Move walls and resize rooms by dragging. Doors, windows, or furniture may block adjustments, so you may need to reposition them first.

  • Change room shapes (e.g. convert a square kitchen to L-shaped) and adjust door swing directions.

  • Move furniture around to better fit your layout.   

  • Add elements with the "+" button: windows, doors, furniture, or stairs.

If the layout is not working, go back to the chat and generate a fresh plan with different parameters. Sometimes a new starting point is faster than heavy editing.

Coming soon: Generative editing. Type "make the kitchen larger" or "add a second bedroom" and the AI applies the changes automatically.

Step 3: Visualize in 3D

Before visualizing, customize your space in the layout editor:

  • Choose a design style and apply it to your space.

  • Customize finishes (flooring, wall colors, textures, accent walls).

Then click "Visualize" to see your selections rendered in realistic 3D.

Switch camera angles by clicking camera icons on your plan to explore different views of each room.

You can also use text prompts to refine the render: "add curtains", "change countertops to white marble", etc.

Step 4: Bring in real-world inspiration

Upload inspiration images

Found a kitchen you love on Instagram or Pinterest? Upload the image and Maket's Visualizer will apply that style to your space.

See real furniture in your space

Upload product images from furniture stores and Maket renders them into your floor plan. See exactly how a nightstand or sofa fits in your room before you buy.

Step 5: Export and share (Coming soon)

  • PNG / JPG: Quick sharing via email or messaging.

  • PDF: Print-ready for meetings with contractors.

  • DXF: CAD format for AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp. Use this for professional handoffs.
