If you’re planning on renovating your home, it can be very helpful to try out things before you make purchases.

With the right app, you can try out different flooring in a space, see what different paint colors look like on your walls, try out different furniture in rooms, come up with design ideas, and view your designs in 3D.

You can also find apps that help you to find contractors and calculate costs.

There are lots of home renovation apps on the market. Here are some of the top ones you should consider getting to help ensure your home renovation project goes smoothly.

Home Design 3D

For both drawing rooms and testing out furniture in your space, look no further than Home Design 3D. You can do a variety of things with this app, such as decorating your space with multiple floors and arranging an outdoor space as well as the interior.

The basic version is free on iOS and Android but some features, like being able to view your home design in 3D, require upgrades.

Roomscan Pro

This is a really neat little app, and very helpful when it comes to renovating or designing a space.

With Roomscan Pro, you can create floor plans by simply touching your phone to each wall of the physical space or scanning the floor with the camera on your phone. Roomscan Pro is free on iOS.

Magicplan

Magicplan is another great app that can help you with your flooring. With Magicplan, it’s easy to create floor plans from a photo of a room.

You can share floor plans as well as create them using state-of-the-art technology with an easy-to-use interface that enables you to measure and sketch your plans in both 2D and 3D. You can also use Magicplan for creating estimates.

Paint Tester

If you’re going to be painting your walls after you’ve carried out your renovation work, then you need a Paint Tester.

The app, which is free on iOS, contains paint colors from leading brands like Sherwin Williams, Benjamin Moore, and Behr. With Paint Tester, you can easily visualize what your interior space will look like in different colors.

Chairish

When going through a home renovation project, you may need to sell unwanted home décor, furniture, art, and so on, and you may also need to buy such items. With Chairish, you can sell your stuff and purchase pre-loved items.

Furthermore, the app lets you try out the items you’re considering buying in your space to see whether they’re a good fit or not. Chairish is free on iOS.

Houzz

With the Houzz app, you can access over a staggering twenty million photos of design ideas, try out more than a million products in a 3D recreation of your home and buy the items you like, hire professionals, and shop for materials.

And if you want to compare Houzz with other apps that enable you to visualize your room in 3D, check out this selection of interior design apps.

While Houzz may not be able to provide mortgage financing options, as you can find from SoFi home loans, and which you may need if you’re planning on costly renovation work, the Houzz app does house much of what any home renovator and designer could need.

Houzz is free on both iOS and Android.

Handyman Calculator

Lastly, if you’re carrying out the renovation work yourself, you need an app like Handyman Calculator. Actually, there’s no need to look for similar apps. Handyman Calculator has all you need for construction calculations and conversions.

For instance, you can calculate the cost of materials, manage project tasks, and track invoices, to name just a few of Handyman Calculator’s great features. Even better, the app is free on Android.
