The Interior Design Apps You Should be Using

Interior Design | By Alexa Bricker | 5 Likes

People are making DIY improvements to their homes in increasing numbers. Television shows and blogs have helped homeowners feel a sense of renewed confidence in tackling everything, from replacing tile to full demos—all on their own.

But one of the best sources of interior design inspiration are actually apps. That’s right, the convenient little programs on your computer, phone, or tablet that can help you plan out your rooms and bring your vision to life.

Houzz

This website/app is valuable for a lot of reasons. First and foremost, it’s a place for professional designers and DIY-ers to meet and share ideas. Not only can you search for a professional in your area and read reviews on their work, you can look at their portfolio to inspire your own projects if you want to go it on your own. There is also a tool that allows you to place virtual products into an image of your space to see how it looks before you buy!

MagicPlan

Determining how to arrange the items in your rooms and what fits where can be challenging. This app allows you to scan rooms in your home to create digital floor plans, which can make planning your renovation a lot easier. The app can also generate 3D models of your floor plans for you to be able to visualize your space even more realistically.

Pinterest

This might sound like an obvious one, but Pinterest is the home for all things interior design these days. Interior designers frequently turn to this platform for inspiration, and you can also communicate with other DIYers for tips and advice.

Wayfair

This discounted online furniture retailer doesn’t just offer incredible deals on home furnishings and accessories, it also allows you to preview how pieces will look in your room before you buy. You can even order items straight from the app.

iHandy Carpenter

For simple fixes, like making sure that picture frame is straight, there’s no better tool than iHandy. It includes tools like a bubble level and a steel ruler to help you avoid crooked decor and to complete projects with a professional look.
