Free version doesn’t include 360-degree photos.

Option to enlist design assistance from a professional.

Virtual catalog of 20,000+ home products.

HomeByMe's designs are offered in high definition that looks realistic enough to be mistaken for photos. For multi-room projects, we recommend the Gold ($12) or Gold Plus ($20) plans, which have much bigger item libraries for you to browse through during the decorating stage. The good news is that the fee is one-time rather than monthly. In order to work across multiple devices and share your designs, you have to pay for an upgrade. Given that 3D is in the name, it’s not surprising that the program also has an impressive virtual tour feature that lets you walk through each room as if you’re really there. Home Design 3D also offers the ability to create exterior spaces, so your outdoor oasis can seamlessly be added to the rest of the floor plan. The software allows you to toggle between 2D and 3D throughout the entire design process, and you can add architectural elements and furniture in either view. Home Design 3D may not have secured the most coveted spot on our list, but it’s still an excellent option for homeowners.
