Maket is an AI-powered design platform enabling homeowners to create residential floor plans quickly. The service allows users to generate new layouts, edit existing plans (upcoming feature), and view photorealistic visualizations all within one workspace.

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 your floor plan

Click "Generate a new floor plan" on the homepage. The Maket chat walks you through four inputs:

• Number of floors (one to four)

• Floor area (total square footage or meters)

• Layout shape (rectangular, L-shaped, and more). *NEW* The shape picker now lets you set custom dimensions and choose a different shape per floor (eg. a ground floor can be L-shaped while the second floor is rectangular).

• Rooms (bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, office, garage, and quantities)

Hit confirm, and Maket generates a floor plan with accurate dimensions, doors, windows, and furniture in minutes. Not happy with the first result? Generate another layout with the same inputs, or start from scratch with different requirements. You can also ask Maket clarifying questions in the chat before generating.

Uploading an existing plan: An improved version of Maket's plan upload feature, with better recognition accuracy and more editing options, is currently being rolled out. Check back soon!

Step 2: Edit your layout

Once your plan is generated, you have two ways to edit it.

*NEW* Agentic editing (chat-based):

Describe changes in the chat and Maket applies them directly to your floor plan, no manual drawing required. The best way to use AI editing is to treat it like a conversation with an architect or a designer, not a prompt to ChatGPT. One change at a time, see the result, react, ask for the next.     

Keep each request short and specific: "Make the kitchen 20% bigger", "Add a powder room near the entry", "Flip the floor plan 180°", "Swap the bedroom and the office".

Avoid long combined prompts like "make the kitchen bigger, add a powder room, flip the layout, remove the garage." The AI applies changes faster and more accurately when it handles one modification at a time.

Manual editing on the canvas:

• Walls and rooms: Resize rooms by dragging handles, move or delete walls, draw new walls to create entirely new rooms:

• Structure: Add doors, windows, and stairs from the Structure menu in the tool bar.

• Furniture: Browse the catalog or search for specific items, then drag into rooms. Rotate or delete any piece. (Furniture placement is done manually on the canvas, not through the chat)

Both methods work together. Switch between chat and canvas at any time. Use the floor selector at the top to switch between levels on multi-story plans. Undo and redo are always available. Select any item to see its detailed measurements in the inspection panel on the right.

Step 3: Visualize in 3D and Style Your Space

Switch to Visualize mode to bring your floor plan to life. Start by adding design references to tell Maket what style you want.

Two ways to add references:

• From Maket's library: Choose a style direction (modern, farmhouse, Scandinavian, etc.) or pick specific finishes (materials and colors)

• Your own inspiration: Upload an image from Pinterest or a design blog, or describe what you want in a text prompt

References can be applied at different levels: an entire floor, a specific room, or an individual furniture item. See a nightstand you love online? Upload the photo and apply it to that piece in your plan.

Rendering: Cameras appear on your floor plan in Visualize mode. Click any camera to adjust its position and angle. The 3D preview updates live as you move the camera. Click "Render scene" to generate a photorealistic image. Add extra direction in the prompt field before rendering ("add curtains," "change the flooring to oak", "include kitchen accessories").

Want to show three different styles for the same room? Change the references, re-render, and compare side by side.

Step 4: Export and Share (premium only)

Export your floor plans as DXF files for architects and CAD workflows, or as PDF for sharing with clients, contractors, and family.

Pricing

Free plan available with 50 credits (no credit card required). Paid plans start at $20 USD per month for 300 credits. Credits refresh monthly. Each floor plan generation uses 20 credits, each render uses 10 credits. See the pricing page for details.
