With tools like Procreate interior design brushes, you can expertly detail room layouts, floor plans, and more, bringing your vision to life on the iPad. Discover how Procreate can transform your design workflow, especially when paired with assets from Studio Brushes.

Canvas Setup and Scale

A well-prepared canvas is the cornerstone of any design project. In Procreate, start by selecting the optimal canvas size to suit your project needs. For interior designs, a larger canvas (such as 11"x14" at 300 DPI) ensures you have enough detail for wall textures and intricate shadow effects. Pay attention to the scale of your floor plans to maintain consistency across all elements.

1. Open Procreate and choose a canvas size that complements your project.
2. Consider resolution (DPI) for print quality — higher DPI generally results in better details.

Remember, an effective foundation in the setup stage directly impacts the precision of your final design.
