Floorplan software

Can anyone recommend (free) software which I could use to create a new floorplan? There are a few programs around but I'm not sure which, if any, are decent.
We are looking to remove an internal wall and enlarge a small toilet into a utility room as well as totally redesign our kitchen.
Ideally I would like software where I can input actual measurements because I'm not sure if the changes I want to make are actually feasible in terms of space.
Obviously this cannot replace a professional plan, but at least it will get the ball rolling.

Cheapest option is to scale things yourself on paper.
Can't help with software as I use CAD software at work to 3D model my house.

Use Google Sketchup
It's good for floorplans and actual full 3d models.
Best of all, it's free!! :beer:0 -

Another vote for sketchup - can be daunting at first but there are plenty of tutorials on youtube to get you started.0

Agree have a few goes, and learn from Youtube. after a few hours on it I ended up building my house fully, with all internal walls.
Google some images, they can look very professional.0 -
For a basic floor plan 'floor planner' on Ipad (maybe other tablets too?) is good and very simple to use. I used it just to get an idea of what size sofas would work in a space and it did the trick. I 'drew' out the whole flat and 'furnished it' in the end.0

There's also a free programme from autodesk which I think is easier to use than sketchup for a floorplan.0
