Before diving into your bathroom design on Procreate, it's crucial to properly set up your canvas with the intended scale. This ensures that your project remains consistent and accurate across all elements.

Choose the Right Dimensions: A 2048x2048 pixels canvas is a good starting point for detailed bathroom plans.
Set the Scale: Assign a specific measurement to your pixels (e.g., 1 pixel = 1 inch) for precision in room layouts.
Use Guides: Enable guides to assist in aligning elements accurately on your canvas.
