The invention provides a method for drawing a house type map by utilizing a mobile phone, which comprises the following steps: judging whether the mobile phone is attached to a wall according to a measurement requirement, and starting measurement when the mobile phone is attached to the wall according to a specified requirement; using the mobile phone used for sequentially finishing the measurement work of the wall attaching points of four walls in the room, the distance between a certain wall attaching point of the mobile phone and the wall surface where the next wall attaching point being located and the distance between a certain wall attaching point of the mobile phone and the wall surface where the previous wall attaching point is located in the clockwise direction; and mapping the measured distance data to a coordinate system, and generating a house type map corresponding to the current measurement room. The method has the beneficial effects that a user can collect house type position and distance data by utilizing the rich sensor built in the smart phone in a mobile phone wall attaching mode, a user visual house type graph is generated, and the user can further convenientlydesign the style of a room in a matched mode according to the house type graph generated on the smart phone. The whole measurement process is simple to operate, high in efficiency, low in cost and high in measurement precision.
