Alright, I have a dilemma. My mom is helping me redecorate my room, but she needs measurements and wants to see a plan, on graphing paper.
This is the problem.
This graphing paper has squares that are 1/4 of an inch, and the paper itself is 67 squares long, and 41 wide.
I'm trying to find a way to measure everything, and proportions.
In other words, how much space should one square represent.
If I make each square represent one foot, it's much too hard to draw.
Six inches, again, is rather difficult.
Two inches doesn't give me enough room to fit my entire plan on the paper.
So now, I'm seeing if four inches would be a good idea, but it just seems like such an odd measurement.
Does anybody have any ideas for input on this?

I should ask my BF to repsond to this post. He's very good at math and has made up graphs (to scale) for furniture placement for the last 2 places that we've lived at.
If nobody knows, do you want me to ask him?

Well THIS I can answer  I do this stuff all the time for school.
Well it depends on how big your room is to decide how big you can make your scaling system so it fits best on the paper.
So here's the breakdown of ways I think it would work:
If you did it so 4 squares equaled a foot, then your room could only be like 10 feet wide by 16 feet long. And then each square would represent 3 inches in your room. Ex. something that is 6 inches would take 2 squares.
You could use it so that 3 squares equaled 1 foot. If that's how you did it then your room would have to be no bigger than 13x22. Then each square would represent 4 inches and something that is 6inches would be a square and half.
I think either of those would be your best bet because I don't think your room would be bigger than fit in those, but it could be and I'll help you figure it out if it is. Let me know! And good luck! It's really a lot easier than it sounds

Make your own graphing paper on the computer. I do it all the time when what I buy isn't what I need!
