Furniture arrangement software

[Alex Oren]

Hello,

I am looking for an application that will allow me to try visually
arranging furniture in a room.

Something like Ikea's "home planner" applications but not limited to
Ikea furniture.

Thank you!

I always used graph paper, colored pencils, and an exacto knife. If I was
doing it on a production basis, software might make sense. But for
once-in-a-blue-moon, the low-tech method works fine, and is dirt cheap. Draw
the furniture on one sheet and cut it out, draw the rooms on the other, and
arrange away. Sandwich between glass, and you can even flip it and Xerox
possible layouts to compare. Kinda fun- almost like being back in grade
school again.

But if you really want software, most of the home architect programs
include an interior design plugin, and let you plug in colors and fly
through the space in 3-d, etc. A lot of setup time, though, especially to
get the furniture sprites to size-match what you actually own.
