The 11 Best Room Design Apps For Planning a Room Layout and Design

Ever wondered how that new IKEA product you’ve been eyeing might look in a space? With Room Planner, you can try before you buy in a virtual room that’s drawn to scale, once you’ve set your room’s size and shape in this app’s 2D mode. Take that level of personalization a step further in the 3D mode, where you can upload a picture of your own walls to use as a backdrop if you’d like. Of course, there are other furnishings (not from IKEA) available to play around with in the app, and you can start a room from scratch or build upon a bunch of communal user-generated rooms, using them as templates. The standard version of this app is free of charge.
