How to plan your home design online?

What is home design

Home design is the art of creating an aesthetically pleasing home interior, whether you are designing a new home from scratch or redesigning and remodelling an existing home. You don’t need to be a professional architect to redesign your home interior, anyone can plan a home design project and turn their creative vision into a reality.

Plan your home design online

The first step to getting started on your home design project is to create an outline of your existing home and then start to piece together how you would like it to look after the remodel.

Online floor plans are extremely useful during any home design project, as they enable you to test different furniture layouts, paint colors and decorations and visualize them in 3D before making any decisions.

You can also use online home design software to create realistic images of your new home to share with others, in order to gather feedback and make adjustments to your design.

How to plan your home design with HomeByMe

Draw your floor plan layout

HomeByMe’s intuitive software allows you to create your dream home design without any special knowledge or training. Start to build your floor plan by drawing the walls and inserting the windows and doors. If you’re short on time, our Floor Plan Creation Service can create your floor plan from a rough sketch.

Furnish your home

Start to bring your design to life, by adding flooring and decorating the walls with paint or wallpaper. Next, select furniture, kitchen appliances, bathroom fixtures and home accessories from our extensive product catalog. Shop brand-name products directly through their link or choose generic products, which can be customized to fit your design needs. Once you have inserted your items, drag and drop, rotate, duplicate or replace with similar items, until you are happy with your design.

Tour your project and share HD images

Once your home design is complete, you can take a 3D virtual walkthrough of your property, using the first-person perspective tool. Produce high-definition 3D rendered images of your design, which can be printed or shared online with friends and project partners, to gather feedback. HomeByMe’s advanced software also allows you to generate high-quality 360º views of your property, to demonstrate the full potential of your home design.

Home Design Tips

Choose a design theme

When you’re beginning your home design project, it can be useful to do some research in order to figure out your preferred style. Choosing a style for your home will help to create continuity as your move from one room to the next. Seek inspiration from the HomeByMe project gallery and browse furniture websites to get an idea of how your favorite pieces are priced. Next, create a mood board, gathering your favorite interior design looks and see if you can spot a trend.

Plan your home design with an online floor plan software

Once you have chosen a design theme, you can start to plan your home design online. Use an online floor planner to gain spatial awareness: to understand how furniture will fit into your home and how you will circulate around your home. Experiment with your furniture layout, color and style and test different fixtures and fittings.

Decorate creatively

Use HomeByMe to visualize your design and make better decisions when decorating your home. Will your design have a neutral color palette or will you add an accent color, using accessories or a feature wall? Don’t be afraid to mix price points and textures, placing designer decor next to refurbished furniture and adding plush rugs and fluffy cushions to break up hard surfaces.
