Your home is your castle, and you want to make it look like a palace. But designing a room can be tricky. You want it to look good—really good. You want something that will knock the socks off your guests, but you also want it to be comfortable enough that you can relax once those socks are off.
Luckily, there are plenty of great apps out there that can help you with your interior design—and most of them are free! Here are four of our favorite picks:

When you’re attempting to figure out the best room layout, you could gather your furniture and decor and play around with placement, or you can simply use a room design app. Taking things virtual is a great way to save time, money and of course, energy while styling your room exactly how you’d like it. Here, we’ve gathered some of our favorite user-friendly apps to help you create floor plans and virtually design your rooms. Using these room design apps and sites will allow you to take the guesswork out of everything from gauging the right-sized furniture for your space, to assessing how a paint color will look, to putting entire rooms together in virtual reality before taking the plunge IRL.
These room design apps can prove incredibly helpful when moving to a new home or embarking on a remodel, room redesign, or even when purchasing new furniture (I’m looking at you, sofas). They’re also a great way to turn interior design into something of a hobby.
For Designing a Room Layout

4. Rooms
Rooms for iOS (free but users need to upgrade to the $3 version to save room designs) offers a fun and easy way to play with virtual room layout ideas. Users enter the dimensions of their room and then can try out different room planning ideas by flipping furniture, changing wall colors and flooring, and altering the scale of items to see how everything will look together. Reviews praise the app’s ease of use but note issues with crashing (though the newest version addresses the bug in the app and states the issue has been fixed).
5. Room Planner: Design for IKEA
Ever wondered how that new IKEA product you’ve been eyeing might look in a space? With Room Planner, you can try before you buy in a virtual room that’s drawn to scale, once you’ve set your room’s size and shape in this app’s 2D mode. Take that level of personalization a step further in the 3D mode, where you can upload a picture of your own walls to use as a backdrop if you’d like. Of course, there are other furnishings (not from IKEA) available to play around with in the app, and you can start a room from scratch or build upon a bunch of communal user-generated rooms, using them as templates. The standard version of this app is free of charge.

6. Decor Matters
Full disclosure: This room design app gamifies the process of room planning with virtual coins, levels, leaderboards, and special badge rewards for design challenge participation. All that aside, the e-design features are pretty decent, even if you aren’t looking to engage socially or compete in this space. Create a virtual room using a template or “tweak” your real-life room using augmented reality (though you do have to pay a small fee to use this feature). You can also just browse around other people’s rooms and boards to search for inspiration and real-life furnishings that you can order online.
