There is a huge range of options available from free to $Thousands ... so it depends how serious you are. One of the best programs is Chief Architect. A functional demo is available free, but the real thing is expensive. An educational version -- which puts a watermark on plans but otherwise is fully functional -- is available for a lot less money. Others include Cadsoft Build, Punch, 3D Home Architect, IMSI FloorPlan 3D, Better Homes and Gardens Home Designer, and a free one --- Design Workshop Lite. A major concern should be whether you simply want to draw 2D floorplans to take to a real designer / architect to show your ideas, or you want to do final quality plans in a format that can be shared / edited by an architect / designer (and which allow 3D relationships to be visualized and even allow walkthroughs and costing, etc. Punch and 3D Architect are pretty good for the $$, while Chief Architect would be my choice for serious work. See the links for some further info. Hope this helps.
