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

New to AI floor plan generation? Here's a broader overview of how AI tools work and what to expect.

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

Maket offers three ways to start your floor plan: generate from a prompt, draw from scratch, or upload an existing plan:

Option 1 — Generate a new floor plan

Best for: when you're not sure where to start, or you want quick inspiration on layout options

Follow Maket's guided steps in the chat (floors, area, shape, rooms) and it generates a complete floor plan in minutes, with doors, windows, and furniture included.

💡 Tip: stick to the guided flow rather than pasting a free-form prompt for the best result.

Option 2 — Draw from scratch:

Best for: designing a single room, a studio, an open-concept area, or a small space like a backyard office, with full control over your layout.

Use the wall tool to sketch your floor plan, then assign room types. Once a room is closed, you can ask Maket to add or complete what you'd like (bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, etc.), and it builds the rest of the layout based on your input.

Option 3 — Upload an existing plan (Available only on Plus Plan) NEW:

Best for: adjusting an existing plan for renovations, additions, or new configurations.

Drop in a PDF, JPG, or PNG of your floor plan and Maket rebuilds it as a fully editable design in a minute.

Available on our Plus plan (see pricing page for more information)

Step 2: Edit your layout

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

Agentic editing (chat-based):

Describe changes in the chat and Maket applies them to your floor plan. Treat it like a conversation with an architect: one change at a time, see the result, ask for the next.

Examples that work well:

• "Make the kitchen 20% bigger"

• "Add a powder room near the entry"

• "Flip the floor plan 180°"

• "Swap the bedroom and the office"

  💡 Tip: avoid long combined prompts. One change at a time gives faster, more accurate results. If you want to learn more about this feature, you can read the full guide here.

Manual editing on the canvas:

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

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

• Furniture: Browse or search the catalog, then drag into rooms. (Furniture is canvas-only, not through chat.)

Switch between chat and canvas anytime. Use the floor selector for multi-story plans. Undo/redo always available. Select any item to see its measurements in the inspection panel.

Step 3: Visualize in 3D and Style Your Space

Switch to Visualize mode to bring your floor plan to life. Customize your space at the level of detail you want, from a broad style reference down to individual elements.

Add style 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 to an entire floor or a specific room. NEW: for more granular control, customize individual elements like wall colors, furniture finishes, doors, and flooring.

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. 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").

Step 4: Export and Share (Available only on Plus Plan)

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

What are the 3 ways to start a project in Maket?
You can (1) generate a floor plan from a text prompt using our guided chat, (2) draw your plan from scratch with the wall tool, or (3) upload an existing floor plan (PDF, JPG, or PNG) and let Maket recognize the rooms automatically.

Can I upload my own floor plan to Maket?

How accurate is the Floor Plan Upload feature?
Maket recognizes walls, doors, and windows from most residential floor plans within a minute. Accuracy varies depending on the source quality and complexity. You can always adjust the recognized layout manually before editing or rendering.
