When you're drafting residential spaces in AutoCAD, having the right set of blocks can make all the difference. Instead of redrawing furniture or fixtures for every project, a curated library of high-quality blocks can help you design faster, present more professionally, and stay consistent across every drawing. 🏡✏️

In this post, I’ll walk you through the best AutoCAD blocks to use in residential interior design—room by room—so you can speed up your workflow and elevate your CAD presentations.

🛋 Living Room Blocks

Your living room layout sets the tone for the entire home. Having a versatile collection of living room blocks lets you test multiple arrangements quickly.

Must-have blocks include:

Sofas (modular, L-shape, 2- and 3-seaters)
Coffee tables and side tables
Armchairs and ottomans
TV consoles and built-in shelving
Area rugs (to define space)

🧩 Pro Tip: Use sectional sofa blocks with varying dimensions for flexibility in small and large spaces.

🛏 Bedroom Blocks

A well-detailed bedroom plan helps clients visualize comfort and scale.

Top bedroom block essentials:

Beds (king, queen, twin—with and without pillows)
Nightstands
Dressers and wardrobes
Desk or vanity tables
Accent chairs

🛠 Use clean, scaled blocks that allow you to fit layouts into tight room configurations without losing detail.

🚿 Bathroom Blocks

Bathrooms may be small—but they require high detail.

Include in your bathroom library:

Bathtubs (freestanding and built-in)
Showers (with and without enclosures)
Toilets and bidets
Sinks (wall-mounted, vanity, vessel)
Mirrors and storage

💡 Tip: Use dynamic blocks that allow you to adjust orientations and dimensions quickly.

🪑 Bonus: Decorative & Accessory Blocks

Residential layouts feel more complete when they include the little things that bring a home to life.

Optional (but impactful) accessory blocks:

Plants and greenery
Floor and table lamps
Wall art and mirrors
Throw pillows and blankets
Pets, books, and decor accents

🖼 These blocks are perfect for presentation sets or client approvals.
