Home 3D
Chosen by THE SUNDAY TIMES as one of the best apps of all time - two years in a row!
ABC-News calls it - "one of the best 3D modeling apps available"
Home 3D is the FIRST & ORIGINAL 3D interior design app. Don't be fooled by other inferior apps that took our name for a ride.
Home 3D is the ultimate mobile tool for architects, home remodeling enthusiasts, interior designers and design hobbyists. Build your dream home in seconds, and take a stunning 3D virtual tour inside it!
Home 3D is built around three simple steps:
1. Layout - Add and position rooms in your floor plan.
2. Interior - Place furniture, fixtures and appliances in each of the rooms.
3. 3D - Take a virtual tour of your dream home and set the materials for the floors and walls.
