designing software! With the free, easy-to-use Ikea home planner tool online, you
can configure your floor plan, choose from the store’s gallery of furniture and decor,
calculate the cost, and print out your wishlist for in-store browsing.

Room-specific tools include a virtual kitchen planner, a bedroom planner, a bathroom


planner, and storage planning solutions.

4. Design a Room
Stop taking home dozens of material samples to try out all the combinations in your
space. Instead, try the Armstrong 3D room decorator app that allows you to see
different color combinations of flooring, cabinetry, ceilings, walls, and countertops
from the comfort of your home.

Design a Room allows you to choose a room in your home, pick a style (like
contemporary, traditional, global fusion) and virtually play around with colors,
textures, and finishes. You can even coordinate Sherwin Williams, PPG, and
Benjamin Moore paint colors to go with your design.

One of the best things about this free tool is the ability to learn about the products
before you buy them. For example, when designing a bathroom, you might see a
note saying hardwood flooring isn’t recommended. This ensures that your room
designs will be functional and stylish.

5. Homestyler

programs the company offers. Simple drag-and-drop functions allow you to create
your own designs and dream up floor plans. Homestyler’s 3D floor planner and 3D
room designer tools are perfect for an amateur virtual room designer.

and nearly every decor item you can think of. Then personalize your space with area
rugs and finish items by several manufacturers. Once your design is complete, you
can print it out.

6. The Home Renovator


Room decorator apps are all well and good, but The Home Renovator lets you plan
for and budget the materials you’ll need for your renovation project. The Home
Renovator lets you choose from insulation, drywall, paint, ceramic tile, ceiling tile,
and deck projects. You can use the site’s free worksheets to measure your space,
enter your measurements, and review your tool requirements. This room designing
software will then get a report telling you how much material is required for your
project, a budget price that can be used to negotiate with local dealers, and
illustrated instructions that show cutting and placement of materials.

7. Sweet Home 3D
This 3D room design app is for those who want more customization options for their
room layout. The online software is free, though login information is required. You
can also download a more advanced version of Sweet Home 3D (at an extra price)
that allows you to save, export, and manipulate your home plans. The interface has
four sections:

 The furniture catalog allows you to choose components by name, then drag and drop
components directly into the floor plan.
 The home furniture list displays the dimensions of each piece by name and size.
 The home plan shows you in a 2D format where the walls, windows, doors, and
furniture are placed (as viewed from above).
 The home 3D view shows your plan in three dimensions so you can visualize the plan
as you design.

To bring in your floor plan, import it into Sweet Home 3D, scale it, and trace over
your plan to remove the guesswork. This program can be simple, but it has
advanced features for those who want more from their 3D virtual planning
experience.
