7 Room Decorating and Layout Apps You Should Try Out

Designing your room is not an easy task if you can't visualize how it will turn out. Luckily there are apps that can help you out with that wherein you can create layouts, add furniture, and more. Here are a couple of apps that do just that.

1. Hutch

This app is best if you are starting out fresh with nothing to put in your room yet. Not only will it help you create a visual of what you want your room to look like, but it also provides users with ways to look for particular items they want in their space.

The app can virtually outfit a room from photos that they upload, which can lead them to a shop that sells the items. As co-founder and head of product and technology Baen Broca says, the app can recognize the structure of the space and place products in it.

2. Morpholio Board Pro

The app can provide its users with a convenient way to store mood boards, shopping lists, cut sheets, and specs in one app. Morpholio Board Pro is ideal for professionals since they can use the app for client presentations, as suggested by Architectural Digest.

The app has a free version, which can be used by people who just want to use it for fun or for single use when decorating their own space. For professionals who plan to use it for work, they can buy the full version with pro tools for $4 a month or $12 a year.

3. MagicPlan

Buying furniture for an already built space can be tricky because you'll have to take into account how those items will fit into it. If you're working on a small space, it'll be a game of jigsaw puzzles for you. MagicPlan can take a photo of your space and convert them to floor plans with accurate measurements. You can even export them in PDF, JPG, and DXF formats.

4. Room Planner by Ikea

Ikea has its own app where you can design a room using furniture that you can buy from them. The augmented reality app will let users place available products and see which items look good in the space and with each other. It's also convenient that you can buy the items all in one store.

5. RoomStyler

Thinking about how your room should look is not the only thing you should worry about. You need a plan, more specifically a floor plan. With RoomStyler, you can create one and add in doors and windows of your choosing. There are even pre-set room sizes for you to choose from.

6. Home Design 3D

The app has a free version, but you can also opt for the Gold Edition for $4.99. According to Apartment Therapy, the app is very easy to use. On the plus side, users are offered the option for online 3D printing, giving a physical 3D image to make it easier to picture.

7. Decor Matters

For room design apps, this one rewards you for room planning with virtual coins and special badge rewards. You'll encounter levels, leaderboards, and design challenges as well. You can create designs based on your room using augmented reality as well.
