Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

Now is as good a time as ever to design or refresh your living space. However, deciding to give your home a little pick me up can go from exciting adventure to overwhelming task real quick. What color should you choose? How will it look at night or in sunlight? Will that sofa you love fit in that corner? What coffee table will match? The questions you have to ask yourself are endless.

Fortunately, technology is here to save the day. These days there are several great apps on the market that not only make home design easy, but bring that creativity straight to your fingertips. Whether you just moved, want to revamp your current space, have an apartment or just moved on up to a house, we’ve found three apps that will help you easily tap into your inner design goddess and create a space you’ll love.

01
RoOomy
Let your inner interior designer shine with the Rooomy app. Discover new trends and furniture designers on your quest to create the perfect space, then view products directly in your current room using the app’s augmented reality software.

Room Planner: Design for IKEA
If you’re an IKEA fanatic then this is the room planner of your dreams. Create 3D renderings of your room using all the IKEA products you love, minus the headache of having to search for everything in the actual store. When you’re done designing, take a snapshot of your room to the store and purchase your furniture with no worries.

Amikasa – 3D Floor Planner
Unlike many interior design apps, Amikasa lets you see true to life mock-ups of your room design in 3D. Users can build and decorate their rooms using furniture, accessories, paint colors and more from real brands. You can choose your room shape, set measurements and even do a virtual walk-through to get a feel for the finished product.
