Surely everyone at least once thought about how to change their cottage or apartment in terms of design and interior, turning the home into the house of their dreams. If a little earlier the architect used improvised means in the form of paper and scissors, then today's realities make it possible to carry out the whole process much faster and easier.
Programs for the design of houses and interiors help quite accurately and, most importantly, clearly convey the designer's idea, having embodied all the details to the smallest detail on the monitor screen.
Using this kind of software, you can easily choose suitable ceilings, correctly arrange furniture and other household items, design the correct lighting angles and look at your creation in a three-dimensional image.
It is also worth noting that the program for the design of interior design saves you from the ability to draw necessary for many architects - the application will do everything independently. The only thing you need is imagination and like-minded people.
Let's try to consider the most popular and sought-after software both in professional circles and among amateur beginners, taking into account the opinions of experts and reviews of ordinary users.
3D Studio MAX
This program for interior design belongs to the professional category. Its main purpose is three-dimensional modeling and animation. After thorough acquaintance with the software, you can easily transfer the design of the room to the monitor screen.
Thanks to the many plug-ins that are constantly updated, you can significantly expand the capabilities of the program by adding a wool texture, clothes and much more.
Experts speak warmly about 3D MAX, while amateurs complain about some difficulties in its development, but a couple of extra nights behind the help page will allow you to recreate your dream in all its splendor.
Archicad
Archie is perhaps the best program for interior design among architects. She copes with the drawing and modeling of any element of housing. Almost everything has been taken into account here, from the foundation and walls to the decoration.

Designing the interiors of rooms, according to professionals, will be an order of magnitude easier if you take it into service.
PRO100
According to many, this software is just a godsend for a designer who has conceived not only the development of a new interior, but also an intelligent arrangement of furniture. PRO100 is an interior design program in Russian, which greatly facilitates the work and development of the platform for an inexperienced user.
Its great advantage is that adaptation to the designer, and indeed the basic principles of software functioning, are mastered quite simply. This is also possible for the average user of a personal computer.
The working area of ​​the program is a platform for creating an interior. The top menu is intuitively transformed into a mobile assistant (floating toolkit) while working on a project. You can change the location of tools at any time, and the most popular items themselves will identify themselves in the foreground and will be available at the first click.
Platform features

The presence of a rich library of templates will certainly please not only beginners, but also professional users. The ability to change the default elements allows you to turn them into universal design tools that can be added to almost any interior.
Most users in their reviews speak very warmly about the PRO100. Inexperienced designers are pleased with the intelligently made automatic mode, which does a significant part of the work, and experienced users are attracted not only by the 3D version of the project, but also by the ability to shift the interior to two-dimensional plans, with indicating all sizes and specific labels.
Astron Design
This is an ideal program for interior design of an apartment, and it is completely localized for the Russian user. The software copes with the fine finishing of rooms and intelligently solves the furniture issue.
The working area of ​​the program is a blank sheet of paper or a template (of which there are a lot) with which the user will work. Convenient pop-up windows allow you to quickly configure the main parameters of the room: determine the orientation, indicate the openings of doors, windows, especially ceilings and walls, and then proceed to solve specific interior problems.
Program features
In order to make the visualization as close as possible to realistic, you can use a simple set of tools to determine the texture of the ceiling, walls and floor, coupled with the color scheme.
The Astron Design program for interior design is equipped with ready-made solutions that are in the built-in libraries, so beginners should not have a creative stupor, since there really are plenty to choose from. In the settings, it’s enough to indicate which room you are furnishing, and the platform itself will select the best options for you: colors, corner / direct furniture, decoration options, interior decoration, etc.
The Astron Design program for interior design allows you to not only outline a rough project by arranging windows, doors and furniture, but also to understand the nuances. At the user's choice, curtains, paintings, curtains, watches, flowers and other household utensils are provided . In the distribution of light, the platform also showed itself only on the good side - after you “hang” the chandelier, you can control the incidence of rays and the shadow area of ​​objects.
Google sketchup
This is a fairly powerful program for interior design with a multi-user interface. The search engine took care of the maximum availability of the platform by providing three types of licenses:
- shareware for educational and educational purposes;
- limited - for personal use;
- "All inclusive" - ​​for professionals.
According to users, working with the program does not cause negative emotions: the interface is intuitive, the menu is built on smart branches, and the “keyboard shortcuts” are not original.
The platform developers were able to establish contact with all types of customers. The ordinary user will appreciate the simple and understandable functionality with a rich set of libraries and ready-made solutions, and professionals will be able not only to implement detailed interior interiors, but also engage in visualization of the exterior of complex structures, such as high-rise buildings or non-standard architectural sketches.
It is also worth noting that the platform showed itself perfectly in the creation of project documentation, which was repeatedly noted by a high rating in user reviews. Designers also note the abundance of training materials and detailed instructions for literally every element of the program.
"House 3D"
An entertaining and very convenient platform to use, thanks to which even the most inexperienced gets the opportunity to become a room designer. Here you can imagine and arrange furniture in all possible finishes, control the combination of the range of floors, walls and ceilings, as well as take a virtual 3D journey through the newly created house.
Developers are constantly adding new plugins and tools for the platform, gradually increasing the scope of their brainchild.
They are mostly positive about House 3D, but professionals still prefer other products, so this platform can be recommended to new designers and small furniture stores.
IKEA Home Planner and Apartama
These services are from two different companies, but very similar to each other. The function of interior planning and the creation of the actual style in the room is used as a tool for selling goods in the store, and due to unobtrusive advertising, an additional clientele is attracted.
One of the main features of these platforms is the ability to work online. All libraries that come with the program are updated at the expense of the company's servers in real time, that is, you simply place an assortment of one of the companies in your apartment.
Maybe the picture does not shine with its photographic naturalness, but for the general interior scene, the platforms are quite suitable. In addition to furniture, here you can choose decorative elements, textured range, the position of doors and windows.
Users in their reviews note the simplicity of the software, and the basic functionality is easily mastered without special skills and any training.
