When it comes to redesigning a room in your home, there’s loads of inspiration and advice online. Consumers today are using apps to visualize how a space might look if they change colors, move furniture or add a new item. Here are a few apps to help:
Chairish
Browse a collection of in-home furnishings and art, including modern, antique, and vintage furniture. The “view in your space” feature allows you to see how purchases might look in your home. You can also submit items for sale, and there are options for price negotiation with some sellers.
HomeByMe
Use your phone to create a 2D layout of your home and then switch to 3D to get inspired on how to furnish and decorate. Everything is customizable as you design the bedroom (or home) of your dreams. You can also then share 4K images with family, friends, or the online community for feedback and suggestions. If you are working in 3D, some objects may disappear as you rotate the viewing field, but they can be found again!
CertiPUR-US
Buying a quality mattress or sofa is at the top of many consumers’ wish lists. Use the CertiPUR-US® directory or app while shopping so that you can verify that any mattress or upholstered furniture you are considering is made with certified foam. Get peace of mind knowing the foam you’re bringing into your home has been tested by independent, accredited laboratories and screened for chemicals of concern. The app provides links to complete criteria for certification.
Home Designs AI
Upload an image of any indoor or outdoor space you are redesigning; pick the type of room, mode and design style and specify how many potential designs you’d like to see. Use the app’s “fill the room” feature to see options for empty rooms or move furniture within the app to get the look you want before doing the heavy lifting—or use AI to remove furniture that’s already in the room to get a blank slate.
Houzz
Designed for both amateurs and professionals, Houzz allows you to browse more than 25 million high-resolution photos of home interiors and exteriors based on style, location, or room. Create your own mood boards and project plans. Homeowners can also find local contractors and interior designers and share designs with them. And when you’re ready to buy, shop within the app.
RoomGPT
Use artificial intelligence to design your room instantly and see different options by theme before you make a purchase or move any furniture. Test it out first with a free room photo generation.
