Homebyme
Homebyme is an online design planning tool that allows you to create a 3D model of your home, which you can then add furniture and design elements to. The purpose of the software is to help you envision a home design project before starting. You also have the ability to capture the visual representation of the new design and share the pictures with others. If you need some inspiration for you home decor, Homebyme includes a community of users who share their own home design projects. The software is free to use for the first few projects you plan, but there are also paid options if you want to do more projects or want extra features. Review: If you are only looking for a home design planning software for a few projects, the free version of Homebyme is worth it. The software includes features such as the first person view in 360 degrees, an easy to use wall drawing tool, and the ability to share the design online. You can view your design choices in both 3D and 2D renderings, and create a shopping list for the things you need to make the design happen in your home. However, if you need to buy the paid version, you may be better off with another floor planning software that includes more features for the price. Homebyme has a lack of design and building items to use in both the drawing and planning stage, making it hard to get the exact design you want. Also, the saved images are only available to share online.
