Sweet Home 3D is a free interior design program that helps you arrange furniture on a 2D house plan and preview it in 3D. This software is designed for people who want to create interior designs quickly.
Whether they are moving to a new home or want to redesign the one they already have, numerous visual guides help you draw the plan of your home and lay out furniture. The user can draw room walls on an existing plan image, change wall color or texture, add dimensions, and drag and drop furniture onto the plan from a catalog organized by categories (living rooms, kitchens).
You can import additional 3D models created by yourself or downloaded from different websites, and change the size, orientation, and elevation of each piece of furniture with the mouse.
Sweet Home 3D lets you view plan changes in real time in the 3D view, either from an aerial viewpoint or a virtual visitor viewpoint, and print the home plan and 3D view. Every change in the 2D plan is updated instantly in the 3D view, showing a realistic rendering of the layout.
