This isn&#x27;t very much tech-related (apart from the simple Wordpress website) but I&#x27;m a long time reader of HN and I&#x27;ve enjoyed many non-tech articles and discussion that I decided to post it here.<p>I create custom Airbnb floor plans as a service (I am a full time architect &#x2F; interior designer).<p>For various reasons I believe it&#x27;s really nice for Airbnb listings to have a floor plan. It shows the layout at a glance - so no false expectations and disappointed guests. It also gives information about privacy of the bedrooms and bathrooms, especially in the case of renting private rooms. I also added a highlight color to the drawings, showcasing highlights of the property. The client has to send me a hand made sketch of the property before I begin work.<p>The floor plans are professional architectural black and white graphics with an accent color. There are no complex 3D models and textures because I think this is best left for the actual photos.<p>I would appreciate any feedback on the idea and the technical implementation.
