Selected User Reviews For Better Homes and Gardens Interior Designer [OLD VERSION]
The bathroom is now completely finished, thanks to the images provided by this software. There were no unexpected outcomes. We changed the plan several times before starting construction, but we were confident in what we were getting after seeing the images. The work on the kitchen will begin as soon as possible. For the past 8 years, I've been imagining the kitchen layout (which isn't a major change). I was able to easily move things around and then see a picture of it from any angle using this software. A forum on the website is a huge help. If you want to learn how to do something, this is the place to go. Show a 5' square skylight with a central beam and a ceiling fan suspended from that beam. It has already been done by someone on the forum. Simply type in what you're looking for, and a step-by-step guide will appear.
Our architect created schematics and a cardboard model, but Interior Designer took it a step further by providing us with a full color 3D rendering of the finished product. br>br>Interior Designer makes it incredibly simple to lay out the walls, add doors, windows, and fixtures. Cabinets, refrigerators, and other appliances can be easily added to the design by clicking and dragging them into place. br>br>There are flaws in the product - There are some constraints that make it difficult to place appliances in tight spaces or to add custom geometry that is outside the scope of standard designs - But for $50, I think this is an incredible product. br>br>With the help of interior designer, we were able to get a much better idea of what our finished remodel would look like. It was well worth the money.
I attempted to use this product to create some visualizations for our upcoming kitchen remodel. After spending a lot of time learning the product and putting together the room dimensions, doors, and so on. I discovered that the library's selection of sinks, ranges, and other kitchen appliances is extremely limited. You're free to do so. As a result, it's useless for imagining what appliances, cabinet colors, and so on would look like. I'm sure the product is fine for laying out rooms and the like, but I'd expect an "interior designer" version to have a *much* larger selection of objects to be even mildly useful. If I'm able to, I'll return it.
It was extremely simple to work with; It has a large library of furniture, window styles, flooring, and other items that you can customize in terms of size, color, finish, and material. It allowed us to see how the room would look with our current furnishings and helped us figure out how big it needed to be. I went to the architect and builder with my laptop and printouts, and the room turned out beautifully!.
I've been an interior designer for 25 years and have always drawn things by hand, but I'd had enough and wanted something that looked more professional and that I could draw quickly. I bought it in the hopes that it would be simple to use. I figured it out after a few hours. It is, in fact, more than I require. My 9-year-old daughter observed what I was doing and expressed an interest in drawing her own floorplan for her room. It took her only 5 minutes to get the hang of it. br>Perfect for my needs and at such a low cost.
Version from a bygone era – Windows XP is the operating system that it uses.
Limited and challenging to master.
It was not a good investment.
