Home Design 3D
Visualizing how your home will look once completed is no easy feat. Luckily, Home Design 3D can help! This app allows you to draw in your floor plan and dimensions, which is then converted into a 3D model. Once you’ve inputted your floor plan, you can easily test out different ideas until you find what works the best. Try out decor, see how furniture fits, and even tear down a wall or two – all without the commitment!
RoOomy
Everybody loves a good trend but sometimes, actually committing to one is easier said than done. With RoOomy, you can try out a variety of trends before you buy. This free app has the biggest selection of 3D furniture products and uses augmented reality so you can view each product in your own room. Once you find something you like, the app will connect you directly to the retailer to make a purchase.

This $4.99 app will help you design your home’s exterior. Choose from hundreds of landscape elements like trees, shrubs, pools, patios, driveways, and sheds and find out where they look the best around the exterior of your home.
