5 Mobile Apps to Help You Redecorate Your Home

Spring is the perfect time to add more color, liven up your home, and eliminate unwanted things. Mobile apps are incredibly good at sparking creativity, and behind each app is a team of developers who have ensured that you can find new ideas and tools with just a few taps. Today, I will share some apps to help you transform the space around you.

I made this list of apps based on my and my friends' experience. With their help, you can find inspiration and references for home renovation or make a detailed plan and find contractors—it all depends on your current needs. I sorted the apps by how easy it is to use them, so I advise starting off with the more accessible ones listed in the beginning and then moving on to the advanced solutions mentioned closer to the end.

Decorio (4.5 rating on App Store)

If you're looking for inspiration and ideas on how to redecorate your living room or kitchen, Decorio is an excellent app to try. To get started, take a photo of the room you want to redecorate, and the app will offer you different design options. With 24 interior styles available, you will find a look that suits your taste. You might be surprised to see your room in boho or chic styles and discover new angles to view your space. Whether you are up for bold experiments or prefer tried-and-true interior formulas, you'll have references at your fingertips.

Decorio is powered by AI, which means it generates infinite design options for you to choose from. Save your favorite designs and share them on messaging apps to communicate with contractors or get opinions from people you live with.

iScanner (4.8 rating on App Store)

Once you've decided on the decor ideas, it's time to find out the dimensions of the space and any decor items you might need. While you could use a standard tape measure, a more technologically advanced solution is available.

iScanner is an app that uses your phone's camera to measure the length of objects and calculate their area. You can measure all the necessary parameters and receive the results in a convenient PDF format. This is especially useful if you plan to change the color of your walls or floors and need to calculate how much wallpaper or paint you need. Even if you're making small changes in your home, such as replacing a few paintings or a rug, iScanner can quickly help you find their dimensions.

Planner 5D (4.3 rating on App Store)

For more advanced renovations, apps are associated with manufacturers of building materials, furniture, and home accessories. These apps visualize the interior and allow you to order all the goods necessary for the renovation. Planner 5D is one such app.

With its help, you can create simple 3D visualizations of interiors and browse the catalog for items you like. You can also choose furniture and decor elements and apply different textures and colors. After saving the project, you can conveniently send it or continue working on it in the web version from any device.

Havenly (4.5 rating on App Store)

If you find it challenging to decide on what to change in your interior or are afraid of getting a result far from what you want, you can hire professionals with the help of special apps. For example, the Havenly app allows you to consult an experienced designer. Based on your wishes and preferences, a professional will advise on how to do the repairs and provide a carefully selected list of products for a particular interior.

Houzz (4.8 rating on App Store)

The list of decor apps would be incomplete without Houzz. This app is an encyclopedia of interiors, with millions of photos of design ideas that you can filter based on room size, budget, or style and save the best as references. The app also connects millions of contractors worldwide, so you can easily find a good designer or architect near you. Additionally, you can order the home items that you like. The app has a news feed about design and repair, keeping you posted on the latest trends and life hacks.

Final Thoughts

I'm sure that these apps will be useful to all DIY lovers and people who want to freshen up their interiors. You can group the apps into one folder on the Home Screen of your mobile phone for easier access. To be honest, sometimes I open them just to see beautiful rooms, relax, and imagine how I can change my interior depending on my mood.
