?? VISUALIZE DIY Projects BEFORE investing time/money – Room Planner Home Design Review

This is a GREAT app for visualizing your projects BEFORE investing your time, energy, & money. I always use it before rearranging furniture, redecorating, & for planning renovation projects. TIPS: First measure & sketch out existing rooms (walls, doors, windows; etc.) on a piece of paper, then draw them out in RoomPlanner. Then SAVE MULTIPLE COPIES as "Main Level, Original Layout (1)" or whatever. That way, you can play around with different copies & compare them to see what you like best. I strongly suggest buying the "Dimensions" upgrade for $1.99. It allows you to type in the exact dimensions rather than trying to drag something to exactly the right size. - The other In-App Purchase options are mostly per your preference. PROs: * Able to see your projects in fairly accurate manner prior to actually doing it. * Lots of customizable options (decor, architecture, furnishings) * Able to do a 3D Walk-Thru of your project * Can save projects to the Cloud * Upload projects to the full Pro for PCs... "Home Designer Pro 2018 Program" * Can share views with other people CONs: * Wish there were more options & ways to customize objects, furnishings, & decor. * Wish you could design walls with a chair rail &/or wainscoting. - Currently, you have to use "boxes", change the dimensions, then add them to each wall individually. (Very time-consuming, & not easy to change afterwards) * REALLY wish I could save customized objects & such to my Favorites List to use in other plans. (Currently only able to save colors & some textures) Overall, a very nice app for figuring out how you want to do a project before you invest your time, energy, & money. The customizability is the reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5. (Written 1-31-18)
