Sweet Home 3D is a free interior design application that allows users to choose and place furniture on a house 2D plan, with a 3D preview. The application’s interface is easy to use. Designing a room is indeed very simple. You can draw the walls of your home upon the image of an existing plan, change the color or the texture of each room, and drag and drop furniture onto the plan from a catalog organized by categories (windows, doors, living room, kitchen, etc.). By dragging furniture into the grid and positioning it as you envision your redesigned room, a clear picture appears below, providing an impression of space that two-dimensional sketches cannot. All the changes made on the 2D plan are simultaneously reflected on a 3D view. Sweet Home is available in 16 languages.
