Free AutoCAD modular furniture blocks (DWG): sectionals, beds, storage walls, tables, desks, lighting, rugs and room sets

About the style

There is no standard for furniture plan symbols. The contemporary modular look is drawn after its common traits: slab arms, seams between modules, sled and blade legs, low platform frames, floating wall-hung units, cube grids and clean rectangular tops.

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 a modular look is a design approach, 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 a sectional, rug and media wall, a lounge with two sofas facing each other, dining rooms for four to ten, bedrooms with a platform, floating or attached-bedside bed, a guest room, a home office, a bench workstation, a meeting room, an entrance, a reading corner and a studio. 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. Please do not redistribute or resell the library; see the library terms.

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 modular pieces; the architectural library has the plain everyday pieces, the doors, the windows and the bathroom and kitchen fittings, and the mid-century modern library has the pieces of that style.

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.

Are the floor, wallpaper and material patterns hatches?

No, they are blocks made of thin lines. Insert one, scale it to the area you want to show and copy it to cover more (ARRAY), or use it as a legend sample next to your finish schedule. For large areas the hatch patterns of your CAD program are the better choice.

Should I download this library or one of the smaller topic libraries (furniture, doors and windows, bathroom and kitchen, stairs, walls and roofs)?

This one has everything in a single file. If you need only one topic, the topic library holds the same blocks in a smaller file, and the furniture library adds front elevations of the furniture.

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.
