Home Design App Apple Pencil

This is my list of the best paid and free interior design apps. After using many interior design apps from iOS and Google Play, this is my shortlist. These actually work on mobile devices. Very cool.

If you're serious about interior design software, I recommend you use a good software option on a desktop or laptop computer. The apps are good, but you're still working on a small screen.

If you want to muck around for fun, get the apps. There are some good ones. We list the 9 best ones below. However, if you actually need to design a room or a home or landscaping, you really need to work on a laptop or desktop.

Nevertheless, below, I set out 9 of the best interior design apps and show you where you can get them. That way, you can start using them too. Most of the apps we'll review here are for beginners or amateur designers. But a couple of them are more professional for those who are ready to take their design to the next level.

Terrys Fabrics App Example

Home furnishings retailer Terrys Fabrics have created an app "Terrys Fabrics Window Planner" that incorporated innovative imaging technology to showcase over 2,000 product and material variations of blinds to their customers.

The free of charge app works by simply directing the customer to take a photograph of their chosen window before adding the measurements of the window to the app. The app will then virtually showcase the thousands of variations of blinds that are available on site, and how they will look within the interiors of the customers home. Consumers have the opportunity to flick between their potential styles, before choosing the item they are ready to purchase.

This technology allows the customer to see for themselves how the products will look within their current home style, without having to wait for samples to arrive. The retailer believes that virtual reality is the future of online interior shopping as it allows customers to try before they buy in a way like never before. They also believe that customer satisfaction should shoot through the roof, as more and more customers will be confident in their purchases before they even arrive.
