Below you will find all the information that you need in order to design your dream house. Recently I discovered a list of free design software and I had to test them all and make a review. I spend days playing with every software, twerking the walls, furniture and having a lot of fun. So we made a list of 8+ free ones and also as a bonus a list of 13+  ones that I think are a great value for the buck you you wish to purchase one of them.

The list is growing as soon as I discover new home design software that are worth of mentioning, so since you are a subscriber you will receive free updates.This excites me very much, as a child I was  obsessed with real estate magazines, luxuries home magazines, playing games that involved building a house or two or a whole neighborhood.

The time passed but my passion for architecture, good taste and design continues till this days, except flipping the magazines now I browse the internet looking for the latest and greatest in the home decoration and design industry.
So with the help of the computer and internet I can design and visualize my next project.

If you are like me and you like to mess around with design, you can try any of the software below, starting from scratch or chose a project and mess around with it until you like it so much that you have to build it. The best way to begin it to find sketches of floor plans and start expending the project adding new features like rearranging the walls, adding new and improved furniture etc.

You also have the option to hire a professional home decoration/architect to do it for you. The best part is that there are many online software available online and the majority are drag and drop, so you don’t have to know any coding or any computer knowledge to use them.

So I would like to start with the free list first and after I will start with the paid one. I encourage you to check all the free ones, since they don’t cost anything and the majority are web based. So just make some account and start playing. We selected a wide range of software including kitchen software ( with kitchen modules & sketches), bedroom software, bathroom software, landscape and garden software etc.
