|

There is an app for every occasion. When the context is our home, our office or any space we have, there are several apps to spread creativity or simply to find new inspirations. To try out furnishing solutions, imagine a new product in a furnished room, predict the final result of a change or maybe having fun with interior design, we can rely on augmented reality or graphic simulation apps.

This is a selection of 5 apps (both for Android and iOS) recommended to design having fun with virtual changes and maybe thinking about how to use the furniture bonus. There is nothing strictly professional, no square footage or complicated operation to implement. These are interior design and graphics apps designed to give shape to the imagination, experiment and do technical tests.

Don’t worry so if you are unfamiliar with design, you can give your best and choose how to furnish – even just for pleasure – your home, your office or any other space you got. Let’s start.

With its 3D compass, the app is useful both in the architectural and design phase, both for interiors and exteriors (think about the design of a garden, for example).

  • Hi Camilla ,
    it’s amazing what technology can bring us as tools to better realize or visualize things.
    it surely takes a little practice to use all
    I think , indeed , it can help customers visualize things better .
    2D plans always pose problems in understanding the final result.
    3D is great for the clients, but maybe also sometimes for the designer.
    it can confirm what we imagine.
    today, all these tools
    are essential in creation but also for understanding.

    these are 5 cool apps!
