Interior Design Layout Tool App

As digital information consumption takes up more than 60% of our hours– shortening our attention spans and enabling us to build better, faster and more efficiently, (whether it be houses or an inventory of knowledge) – it is of little to no surprise that there are now countless apps to enable a 'DIY' approach to house design or its interior.

'Power to the people' (or power to Apple and its co-dependants) – house design apps are 'applications', usually on an iPhone or Android that allow you to foresee how your house will look after renovations, an interior-design rejig or simply, a new paint job.

Some apps are surprisingly in-depth, allowing you to take photos of each room to upload and move furniture around to visualise your next interior makeover.

Others allow you to shop from their library for interior ideas and some, offer detailed floorplans and 3D renderings.

Whether they're a gateway for productivity or fantasia, the apps are only as useful as the user, so it's always helpful to ask yourself a few questions first and foremost: Architecture or interior design? Inspiration or renovation? House plan or floorplan?

The next step to choosing the most helpful app, is being honest with yourself about how much you're willing to pay for an app, and whether it's all-in-all worth it. Here are some of Architecture & Design's recommendations to assist you in that search:
(Note: some apps are free house design software)
