 Are you happy with your house? Perhaps you’d like to move the sofa and the chairs or
put the beds in a different place? But that takes a lot of time and you don’t want a bad back,
do you? Well, now there is a website where you can do all these things online! You can draw
a plan of your house. Then you can put your furniture in different parts of the house and look
at it. Perhaps it looks good, perhaps it doesn’t! OK, change it again. You can try again and
again until you finally decide where you want to put your things. This is a really good
website and when you change your furniture, it shows you the result in 3D. It’s very real.
You can have the perfect house! What do the website visitors think?
Anna from Medway
I think it’s fantastic. I have a lot of furniture and I often get bored and want to change
things. With this website, I can try lots of different ways. It’s easy to use, and the 3D is great.
Now my rooms are perfect.
Damian from Leamington
I’m not very good with computers. I don’t surf the Internet or play games, but this
website is great! I have a new flat with three bedrooms, a dining room and a kitchen. I’m not
good at planning things. I don’t know where to put my things! I’m using the website, and it’s
helping a lot. The bedrooms are OK now, and I’m working on the kitchen and dining room.
