This is a wonderful item. It has “clingy”, reusable stickers so that you can reuse them over and over–like the old “Colorforms” we had as kids. They are also quite detailed, so that although they are only in black and white, they are fun to look at. You have so many options, and the scaled paper is roughly 16″ X 22″, and treated so that the “stickers” stay on well, but can be taken off just as easily. And both sides are that way. Not sure if you can actually do one side, and, without removing the stickers, flip it over and do the second side. Haven’t tried it, I guess. We purchased this as part of our homeschool curriculum for our 16 year old.
My biggest gripe is that Amazon listed a “goes with” item–the “Room and Furniture Layout Kit” by Muncie Hendler. The trouble with that is that the “Home Quick Planner” is scaled at 1/4″=1′, but the “Room and Furniture Layout Kit” is scaled at 1/2″=1′. My suggestion would be not to get the “Room and Furniture Layout Kit” anyway if you are getting the “Home Quick Planner”, since it is just punch out cardstock shapes. It isn’t that bad, but after having the very detailed stickers of the “Home Quick Planner”, these are very boring.
A really neat item.

This little interior design kit is well worth the money. In contrast to many computer programs, it’s simple and easy to use. There are multiple of symbols for every room and item in your house – appliances, kitchen and bath fixtures, windows, doors and other architectural elements and of course furniture. You’ll even be able to mark switches, outlets and phone jacks on your floor plan. The best thing about this kit is that it reminds me of my grade school days and all the fun I had with just scissors, paste and paper.

This was almost perfect for what we were looking for — which was to lay out the furniture placement for home we are building. We had our floor plans in the scale of 1/4″ =1′ (be sure you have your drawings in this scale – otherwise the product is basically useless for this purpose) and simply peeled them off and placed the images of the furniture on our floorplan. The floorplans were in the form of blueprints that we received from our architect. The stickers were able to stick well enough to stay put on the drawings — although I think with repeated removal and replacement, the adhesion might be reduced to the point where you would need to hold the stickers with tape.
My wife found them very useful to get a feel for not only how we could/would arrange our furniture but also to get a real sense of the size of the rooms etc. She does not have the ability/aptitude to mentally convert the architectural drawings into a picture of what the rooms will look like when completed — and this really helped her to vizualize and understand what the rooms would look like when furnished – and also to determine where we would need additional furniture.
Only significant issue was that there were not enough bed stickers – only one queen size bed sticker and I think, only one king size. Would have been great to have had 2 (or more) of each as we will have 2 queen size beds in the house.
Otherwise, was easy to use and very useful.

Reviewer: Hands-on designer (Atlanta, GA) – - This planner is a professional-quality design tool at a very affordable price. The reusable peel-and-stick symbols adhered directly to my floor plans, which helped me layout my design and show the builder and decorator exactly what I wanted. For the kitchen and bath, I used the 1/4-inch scale grid sheet that was included. The symbols are extensive and nicely illustrated. The planner also has design notes with room layouts and important dimensions, and this helped me save wasted space. Highly recommended and lots of fun.

As an Interior Designer for 20 years, the problem I have with computerized design programs is that you can’t take them with you. The Home Quick Planner is one of the few things that really is easier and more efficient without a computer. These planners allow me to easily come up with several different design options for my clients, and perhaps more importantly, gives my clients the flexibility to play around with different layouts and furniture placement on their own. In addition, their 1/4″ scale makes them a perfect fit to be dropped right into standard architectural plans. I have found these to be an invaluable, time saving tool. They just work better, and my clients love them!
