Floorplanner
Floorplanner can prove to be a good home design app if you are a architect or interior designer. You can get your design right down to a centimeter. But then you should know what you are doing. The app requires you to sign in using your Windows account, only then you will be able to work with the app. After signing in you will be given a brief tutorial of the app, just to let you know which tool is placed where on the interface. After that you can start designing your dream home. You can create a home design with exteriors and add objects to it as well using the large database of objects that the app has. Every item can be resized, rotated, reshaped according to your liking. You can easily share the designs you created with your friends as well. I did find the app a bit buggy though. The app blanked out once or twice. And if you are not familiar with designing homes then you will have a hard time creating one by yourself. You might need help to create a complete drawing. But if you know your way around then, it would not be a problem.
Houzz
Houzz app is not exactly a app which lets you design a home, but it gives you everything you require to renovate or redecorate your home. The app has a large collection of high resolution photos of home interiors and exteriors. You can browse the photos by rooms, location, style, etc. You can even save the photos that you like and can even share the photos with your friends. When you launch the app you have the option to login either with Facebook or create an account using your email id. You can browse lots of photos in various categories like kitchen, dining, living, bath, kids, exteriors, outdoor, etc. You can also look at home decor photos as well to see what will look good in your house. The products section has all the product photos, which are also divided into categories like home decor, furniture, bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, home improvement, etc. The app also offers you professional advice through discussion groups. You can also look for professionals like architects, interior designers, etc. in your area through this app. The app might not let you design your home through a drawing, but helps you with giving you lots of ideas for home design.
