When it comes to designing your home, nothing ever seems to go to plan. There are different materials needed than necessary, some measurements just don’t seem right, or the overall style of your home just isn’t how you expected it. And these things happen to anyone who’s tried their hand at designing homes.

But the good news is that we live in an incredibly digital world with tons of applications on our smartphones to help with this process. And even in the home design process, there are tons of great apps out on them on Android to assist you.

And it doesn’t matter how you’re designing your home or what materials you’re using – Buck Steel or any other kind of material. These apps are going to help out anyone who’s trying their hand at designing homes. Read on to learn more about the top six Android apps for designing homes!

1. Virtual Plan 3d

Right, so first up, we have Virtual Plan 3D. This is a really cool one if you’re interested in concept ideas and what apps could be coming in the future. And yes, this one isn’t on the app store just yet, but it’s still great to get in your minds for what’s on the horizon in terms of home design apps.

Virtual Plan 3D is an augmented-reality application that transforms 2D blueprints into 3D models. The idea is that you take the camera, place it over your blue prints, and the app will automatically transform that into a 3D model of your house. Isn’t that super cool?

This app would have the power to allow you to see what your design will like in its finished product. This would have major implications on designers who want to make absolutely sure that everything is perfect with their home before the construction phase starts. And these types of design apps that use augmented reality are going to be taking over the market really soon, if the trend continues.

2. Homestyler Interior Design

Let’s take a look on the inside of your home. If you want to redesign a room, this app is the perfect one for you. What you’ll need to do here is first clear out your room of any furniture or decorations. Then you’ll take a picture of the room and import it into the Homestyler app.

You will then able to plop down 3D models of various pieces of furniture and decorations to see what they would look like in your home. This will have major implications if you’re just not sure if that couch color would look good with the color on your walls. Interior design is never going to get easier than being able to see what the designs will look like before you go out and buy them!

Plus, this is going to save you a lot of money in the long-run when you don’t have to ship back furniture that you thought would look good that doesn’t actually look that great in the room.
