We made some changes to the properties window for editing floors and choosing floor textures. This will make it easier finding the right floor when we add more types in the future.

What’s different?
When you click on a floor the properties window appears (see below). The new properties window shows the current texture in the selected color. Instead of a list with names, you can now scroll through pictures of all the available textures. Furthermore we implemented the same rotation and color picking tool as used in the furniture properties menu.
We plan on adding some new textures soon. If you have any textures you wish to choose from, please post a comment on this weblog or in our forums. Questions or other comments are welcome too.

This weekend we have passed the milestone of 100.000 user accounts that have been created at Floorplanner.com. We are proud and excited that this many people have signed up to use our tool. We would like to invite you all for some coffee and cake at our offices but we are afraid it won’t fit

Some more information about these figures: It took us about 6 months (during the Dutch Beta period) to reach one third (=33.000) of the total accounts, about 3 months to get to 66.000 and 1.5 month to reach 100.000 user threshold. We think this shows some healthy growth and hope this continues as we are constantly improving our Floorplanner and will introduce some new cool features in the near future. It’s great to see that these 100.000 accounts originate from over 200 countries, below you can see the top 10

1. Netherlands
2. United States
3. China
4. Belgium
5. United Kingdom
6. Germany
7. Canada
8. Australia
9. India
10. Italy

What we find even more encouraging, besides these numbers, is the quality of the floorplans you are creating and the feedback we receive. We visit the Floorplanner Fresh page regularly and are frequently amazed by the plans you are making. You are providing us with lots of positive comments and useful feedback that helps us to improve our tool and as we recently launched our forums there is also a more public place to share your thoughts and remarks online with other users.

So thank you all for using our product and we hope we can post about a new milestone soon….

Over the past few weeks there has been an increasing number of websites and blogs writing about Floorplanner. As the complete list would be too long to post here we made short selection of nice quotes that you can find below:


Wall Street Journal : I had a great time playing with it. Should our project ever pan out, I think the time I spent with it will prove useful



Lifehacker : We’ve suggested a few layout tools for floor planning in the past, but Floorplanner is by far the most robust.



Webware : Floor Planner is fun and easy overall




Yahoo Tech : I would have finished this post sooner, but I’ve been tinkering with it for awhile, moving imaginary furniture around to come up with an imaginary new look for my living room.



Core77 : This awesome interactive floorplan tool lets you create and share plans that truly reflect the dimensions of your space.

Cybernet : Floorplanner.com is definitely one design tool that you’ll want to use. Best of all, it’s free and easy to use. When I say easy, I mean easy.



WDR Fernsehen : Perfekt (19/20 points)




BobVila : This is a great tool for visualizing your living space, even if you have no plans to move your family or the sofa.
