Free Office Design Software: Plan Office Floor Plans in 2D & 3D
Design office floor plans, coworking spaces, and home offices, desk pods, meeting rooms, breakout zones, phone booths, at scale, in 2D and 3D. Free, browser-based, no paid tier.
Office design software has historically been the domain of expensive workplace-strategy tools (SpaceIQ, OfficeRnD, Steelcase Visual Impact). Home 3D Plan brings the same core capability, to-scale floor plans, real-size furniture, 2D plus 3D, to the browser, for free, with no per-seat or per-floorplate charge.
Whether you're an office manager rearranging desk pods, an architect doing early concept for a new fit-out, a small business planning a first office move, a coworking operator designing a new floor, or a remote worker setting up a home office, the workflow is the same. Free, in a browser tab.
Who uses office design software
Workplace strategists and office managers planning desk rearrangements, hot-desking allocations, or post-renovation layouts.
Architects and interior designers doing early concept work for an office fit-out, much faster than booting Revit when the question is "does this work".
Small business owners planning a first office or a new location, before signing a lease.
Coworking and flex-office operators designing new floor plates with the right mix of dedicated desks, hot desks, phone booths, meeting rooms, and breakout space.
Remote workers and freelancers planning a home office at the room scale.
How to plan an office in six steps
Step 1. Get the existing floor plate. Either measure it yourself, or import the architect's PDF as a backdrop and trace the walls.
Step 2. Zone before you furnish. Identify quiet zones (focused work, library, phone booths), collaborative zones (meeting rooms, breakout areas), social zones (kitchen, lounge), and support zones (printers, storage, server room).
Step 3. Lay out workstations. Standard desk pod: 140 × 70 cm desk, 50 cm of clear knee space behind, ~120 cm aisle between facing desk rows.
Step 4. Place meeting rooms. Small huddle (2-4 people) wants ~6 m². Standard meeting (6-10 people) wants 12-18 m². Boardroom-class (12+) wants 24-36 m².
Step 5. Add phone booths and breakout zones. Phone booths want ~1.5 m² and acoustic isolation (treat as a closed room). Breakout / lounge wants enough seating for ~10% of the desk count at any given time.
Step 6. Switch to 3D and walk through. Verify sightlines between collaborative zones, check that the head-down quiet zone isn't exposed to a high-traffic path, and confirm meeting rooms don't open directly into a noisy area.
Desk-pod planning + clearances
Standard knowledge-worker desk: 140 cm wide × 70 cm deep, with ~50 cm of clear knee space behind the chair. Pods of 4-6 desks back-to-back are common; allow 60 cm of separation between back-to-back desks for chair clearance.
Primary circulation aisles between desk rows want 120 cm minimum (so two people can pass); secondary aisles can be 90 cm. ADA-accessible paths require 90 cm minimum in most jurisdictions.
Use the planner's 2D plan with dimensions visible to verify every aisle, then switch to 3D to check that no desk is wedged against a wall where the back of the chair can't pull out.
Meeting room and phone booth sizing
Huddle (2-4 people, ~6 m²): single small table, 4 chairs, wall-mounted display. Used for quick check-ins and one-on-ones.
Standard meeting (6-10 people, 12-18 m²): conference table, 6-10 chairs, display, whiteboard. Used for team meetings.
Boardroom (12+ people, 24+ m²): long table, 12+ chairs, multiple displays, AV gear. Used for company-wide / external meetings.
Phone booth (1 person, ~1.5 m²): standing or seated, single occupant, acoustic isolation. Used for video calls in open-plan environments.
A working rule of thumb: 1 small huddle per 10 desks, 1 standard meeting room per 20-25 desks, 1 phone booth per 8-10 desks.
Daylight, acoustics, and biophilia
Switch to 3D to assess daylight, workstations should be within 7 m of a window where possible. The planner's 3D view with realistic lighting makes daylight reach obvious in a way that 2D plans don't.
For acoustic zoning, the placement principle is simple: put the quiet head-down work as far from the busy social zones as possible, with a buffer (storage, plants, partition walls) between. Use 2D adjacency to plan this, then 3D to visualise the buffer effect.
Why Home 3D Plan for office design
Free, with no paywall. Most office-planning tools are paid subscriptions (per-seat or per-square-foot pricing). Here every feature is free.
Browser-based, no install, no IT approval needed to use on a corporate laptop.
Real-scale desks, chairs, meeting tables, phone booths, and screens in the catalogue.
Snapshot the lit 3D scene to unlimited photo renders (PNG), watermark-free, useful for furniture quotes. For a to-scale drawing, the platform includes DraftCAD, a separate 2D CAD tool (PDF, DXF, SVG).
Share a read-only live link with stakeholders for review without account creation on their end.
Frequently asked questions
Is this really free?
Yes. Every design feature is free for every user on every device today, with no per-export charge and no watermark.
Will there ever be a paid plan?
It is free today with no paywalled features. Home 3D Plan is community-funded rather than investor-funded, supported by optional partnerships and community contributions. If we ever introduce paid plans, we will show the fees before any charge and will not lock features you already use behind a paywall.
Do I need to create an account?
No. You can open the editor and start designing without signing in. A free account only adds cloud saves across devices, sharing, and a personal texture library; it does not unlock design features.
Does it include office furniture at real sizes?
Yes. Desks, chairs, meeting tables, conference room setups, phone booths, and lounge seating ship at typical commercial dimensions. Resize per piece if your actual furniture differs.
Can I plan a multi-floor office?
Yes. Each floor is a separate level in the project, all stacked correctly in 3D.
Is it suitable for commercial / professional use?
Yes. There is no commercial-use restriction. Architects, interior designers, workplace strategists, and office managers use it professionally, at zero cost.
Can I share a layout with stakeholders for review?
Yes, every project has a shareable read-only link anyone can open in a browser, no account required on their end.
Is Home 3D Plan free?
Yes. Home 3D Plan runs in your browser at no cost, with no sign-up requirement and no paywalled features. The PWA install is also free.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Home 3D Plan is a Progressive Web App, so you can open it in any modern browser and start designing. You can optionally install it to your home screen for offline access.
Can I export my plans?
Yes. Snapshot your lit 3D scene to an image (PNG) with one click, unlimited and with no watermark, and share a read-only or editable live link that opens in any browser without an account.
