Draw house using Turtle programming in Python

Last Updated : 28 Apr, 2025

Python’s Turtle module provides a fun and interactive way to create graphics by controlling a turtle (pen) to draw on a screen. In this article, we will use Turtle to draw a simple house with a base, roof, door and windows. Lets see step by step how can we implement this in Python:

Step 1: Import Required Modules

Before starting, we need to import the required modules.

turtle: To create graphical drawings.
math: (Optional) Useful for geometric calculations, though not used in this example.

Python

import turtle
import math

Step 2: Set Up the Drawing Screen

To make our drawing visually appealing, we set a background color for the screen.

Python

screen = turtle.Screen()
screen.bgcolor("yellow")  # You can choose any color

Step 3: Initialize the Turtle (Pen)

Before drawing, we configure the turtle:

Set the color of the turtle.
Change the shape to a turtle for better visualization.
Adjust the speed for smooth drawing.

Python

t = turtle.Turtle()
t.color("black")
t.shape("turtle")
t.speed(3)  # You can increase speed for faster drawing

Step 4: Draw the Base of the House

The base of the house is a rectangle. We fill it with cyan color to differentiate it from the roof.

Python

t.penup()
t.goto(-200, -200)  # Moving turtle to starting position
t.pendown()
t.fillcolor("cyan")  # Filling color for the base
t.begin_fill()
for _ in range(2):
    t.forward(400)  # Drawing width
    t.left(90)
    t.forward(250)  # Drawing height
    t.left(90)
t.end_fill()

Step 5: Draw the Roof (Triangle)

To create the roof, we need an isosceles triangle. We will use a brown color for the roof.

Python

t.fillcolor("brown")  # Setting roof color
t.begin_fill()
t.goto(-200, 50)  # Moving to first point of triangle
t.goto(0, 200)  # Moving to top point of triangle
t.goto(200, 50)  # Moving to last point of triangle
t.goto(-200, 50)  # Completing the triangle
t.end_fill()

Step 6: Draw the Door and Windows

Now, let’s add a door and windows to make the house realistic.

Python

t.penup()
t.goto(-50, -200)  # Positioning for door
t.pendown()
t.fillcolor("red")  # Filling door color
t.begin_fill()
for _ in range(2):
    t.forward(100)  # Door width
    t.left(90)
    t.forward(150)  # Door height
    t.left(90)
t.end_fill()
# Left window
t.penup()
t.goto(-150, -50)  # Positioning for left window
t.pendown()
t.fillcolor("white")  # Filling window color
t.begin_fill()
for _ in range(2):
    t.forward(75)  # Window width
    t.left(90)
    t.forward(75)  # Window height
    t.left(90)
t.end_fill()
# Right window
t.penup()
t.goto(75, -50)  # Positioning for right window
t.pendown()
t.fillcolor("white")
t.begin_fill()
for _ in range(2):
    t.forward(75)
    t.left(90)
    t.forward(75)
    t.left(90)
t.end_fill()

    t.left(90)
t.end_fill()

t.fillcolor("brown")
t.begin_fill()
t.goto(-200, 50)
t.goto(0, 200)
t.goto(200, 50)
t.goto(-200, 50)
t.end_fill()

t.penup()
