Interior Design Software

9 years ago

I am looking to use a free and relatively low cost interior design software to help me with my open plan living/dining/kitchen extension design. I am struggling to find anything that allows me to upload photos of my existing furniture that I plan to keep and place it into the rooms I am designing to see how it would look. Does any software to do this exist? Which software would you recommend I use (or stay away from!)? Thanks

Do you have Photoshop? If you do you can upload and resize pictures of existing furniture (and even recolour them if, for instance, you are thinking of reupholstering) that way, then drop them in to your room design. SketchUp is free and a lot of people find it the easiest interior design software to use. Have fun!

Hey Dan, Just checking in to see if you got any ideas since? I personally use a program called gCAD for doing my designs which is very much tailored at the professional use. However there are a myriad of online options as well. If you find yourself struggling, I offer an online Garden Design service which has your plans to you within 10 days on my website, www.theangryhedgehog.com. Any questions/comments give me a shout! :) Kind regards, John.

Kitchen or all room mockups - i've progressed from old school paper cutouts on graph paper - which is super quick to chop/change, to using Sketchup - again block models for the basic sizes of units and really easy to move things around and try out different combinations. Takes half a dozen clicks to build a representative 600x600 unit and group it. You can also cut and paste the whole room and have a whole line of variations in the same file to try things out. e.g.... Neither approach any good for photo realistic renderings.

Well do make sure you get your ideas/drawings safety checked before you start work or order anything! Some apps like magic plan and house design work on iPads quite well - sketchup for pc and for one off custom pieces of furniture- Jali.co.uk and Tylko .com are useful.
