Free AutoCAD classic furniture blocks (DWG): sofas, tables, beds, cabinets, desks and room sets

About the style

There is no standard for furniture plan symbols. The classic style is drawn after its common traits: button tufting, rolled arms, wing backs, turned legs seen as rings, moulded table edges, pedestal tables on three feet, carved headboards and posts, and patterned rugs.

These symbols are our own drawings after the common design conventions of the style, and the library is not certified against any standard. Check them against your project and change the blocks if yours differ.

Frequently asked questions

Are these symbols to a standard?

No. Furniture plan symbols have no binding standard, and classic or traditional is a design look, not a rule set. The blocks follow its common traits and can be changed to match your project.

What are the room sets?

Ready-made groups of pieces as one block each, for example a living room with sofa, wing chairs, table and rug, a dining table with eight chairs and a sideboard, a bedroom with a four-poster bed, or a study with a desk and bookcases. Explode a set to work on single pieces.

Can I use the symbols in commercial projects?

Yes. They are free to use and modify in your own projects, including commercial ones. They are provided as is, without warranty.

Can I use these together with the architectural furniture library?

Yes. They use the same units, the same attributes and the same insertion rule, so the libraries can be used in one plan. This one adds the classic look; the architectural library has the plain everyday pieces and the commercial and school furniture.

Can I change a symbol or add attributes?

Yes. Open the DWG, edit a block with BEDIT to change it or add attributes, and save. To update drawings that already contain the block, run ATTSYNC or replace the block. Make a backup first: attribute values can be lost if ATTSYNC is used carelessly.

Where do I find a ready-made set of these symbols for AutoCAD?

AutoCAD itself ships only a small set of sample blocks, so a full symbol set has to come from a library. Download the ZIP on this page and open the DWG: every symbol is a block. Insert one with INSERT (Blocks palette, Libraries tab, then pick the DWG) or drag it from DesignCenter (ADCENTER). You can also download a single symbol on its own.
