“Free interior design application”

by Cyril Roger

Ever wanted to ditch your current furniture and completely redo your house? In this case you can use an interior design application to get a rough idea of what it could look like. Sweet Home 3D allows you to add and place furniture to recreate your rooms. The program offers more than 50 different pieces of furniture ranging from beds to lamps or tables. You can also import extra ones from the developer website. To create your rooms all you need to do is drag and drop elements into the grid view. Use the virtual visit tool to get a 3D preview of what it looks like.

Sweet Home 3D is easy to use but suffers from poor graphics. Most pieces of furniture look quite boxy and you shouldn't expect to choose from the latest trends in furniture design. On the whole though, Sweet Home 3D is a solid free interior design application with lots of elements to choose from, which should help you get working on the restyling of your home.
