There are quite a lot of programs and online service ov, which allow you to independently make the layout and design of a room, bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, and the entire apartment as a whole. I have already reviewed some similar services on the pages of the site - you can get acquainted with them.
Unlike the heavyweight ArchiCAD and 3DS Max, which need to be studied for months in order to create something worthwhile in them, services and programs for creating an interior are extremely easy to use and absolutely anyone can handle them. Of course, this affects the quality of the result, since the simplicity of the work certainly imposes a number of limitations, but, as it turns out, there is an exception to this rule...
Today I want to introduce you to an online service that simply amazed me with its capabilities. It perfectly combines wide functionality for interior planning and design creation with high quality the final result. The design project you created yourself will blow the nose of many professionals, I guarantee you that!)
Planoplan is an online 3D apartment planner. With its help, in literally five minutes you will draw the walls of the bathroom, kitchen, toilet, rooms, hallway, “hang” wallpaper on them, lay flooring, arrange furniture, etc. Just look at the interiors that were created by ordinary Planoplan users:
Impressive, isn't it? I admit, if I had not tried the service myself and received similar photorealistic results, I would have thought that these interiors were created by professionals in 3DS Max, because I have never seen such rendering quality from either programs or interior design services.
How to work in the Planoplan planner
Friends, I could write in detail about which button to press to draw walls, how to load a background plan, how to insert objects, how to switch between 2D, 3D modes and a virtual walk through the created interior. But, as they say, it is better to see once than to hear a hundred times. So watch this training video on working in Planoplan, and just below I will describe what capabilities the online service generally has for creating design projects.
Service capabilities
I will briefly describe the main functionality of the online scheduler:- More than 1200 items of finished furnishings (furniture, household appliances, mirrors, house plants, etc.) and more than 800 names of textures in the library
- Freely adjustable object sizes
- Assigning colors, materials, and custom textures to walls, floors, ceilings, windows, doors, and furniture
- Creation of contour objects: curved walls in rooms, shaped openings and plinths, multi-level ceilings, podiums, etc.
- Lighting arrangement
- Three operating modes: plan (2D), 3D and virtual walk through the interior
- Changing the viewing angle in virtual walk mode
- Automatic calculation of the amount of materials and furniture used to create the project (calculation of the cost of repairs will be added soon)
The designer's interface is concise, simple, intuitive and does not cause difficulties in operation. It is a pleasure to create an apartment design in it. Setting up objects (position, size, color, material) is quickly done by clicking on them with the left mouse button.
The planoplan was created on the game Unity engine, which is now gaining more and more popularity, as it is an excellent alternative to the already obsolete Flash technology. Thanks to this, the user sees in the browser excellent quality pictures. Unity also allows you to implement such important elements for creating the atmosphere of the interior as a burning fire in the fireplace, the current time on the clock, the sound of the radio, opening doors, etc. In general, in the virtual walk mode you get the feeling that you are playing some kind of computer game) . And if you also connect an Oculus Rift helmet, which works perfectly with Planoplan, then 100% immersion in the interior is guaranteed!
The rendering process (drawing a photorealistic picture of the interior) and scene assembly do not load the user’s computer, as they occur on the Planoplan server side. The quality of a self-made design project will surprise not only you, but also 3D graphics specialists!
Who will benefit from Planoplan?
This online service for creating a design project for a room will be useful to anyone who is planning to renovate their apartment, remodel, move furniture, etc. For non-commercial use, the service’s capabilities are free, but there are some minor restrictions:- You can create a maximum of three projects

- three places for your own textures
Suitable for studios and organizations involved in developing design projects "PRO Account". Within its framework, such functions as controlling sunlight depending on the time of day, saving camera positions, renderings with “cut” walls, etc. become available.
Technical progress does not stand still and interior design keeps pace with it. Planning programs have long come into use that allow you to develop the design of individual rooms or an apartment as a whole using a computer. 3D interior design is actively used among professionals. It replaced outdated drawings, paper diagrams, models and layouts. Programs work on the principle of a designer. Dimensions and layout are entered. Then a stylistic concept, zoning, and furniture arrangement are developed. By placing decorative parts, the finished composition is polished. 3D design program necessary calculations conducts it herself. The result will be an interior as close to the real thing as possible. Let's talk about the features of programs for creating 3D interior design, their advantages, disadvantages and nuances of use.
What is 3D interior design?
You don't have to be a computer genius to learn how to use a visualization program. You can master the basics on your own in a few lessons or with the help of simple instructions that come with each planner. Three-dimensional models help to evaluate the merits of a future design project and eliminate its shortcomings at the project development stage. In addition, this option allows you to demonstrate to the customer what his home will look like in reality. Three-dimensional modeling has become an indispensable tool in the design profession. However, the programs are openly available to the public. If you are planning to do the arrangement of a residential building with your own hands from start to finish, then the designer will an indispensable assistant in this difficult matter. Primitive, simple programs designed for drawing up black and white 3D plans, which take into account the number of floors of the house and the location of the rooms. Visualizers help to evaluate the convenience of placement of premises and mentally imagine how comfortable it will be to be in them. These programs marked the beginning of 3D modeling and were used by pioneering designers. In complex versions, “stuffed” with many additions, in addition to the location of the walls, you can plan the entire interior, down to the smallest decorative details. Working at the computer will take more than one hour, as the work is painstaking, but the result is worth it.
You can try your hand online. Many schedulers offer the use of a test demo version. Most of them are free. However, developers also need funds for their “bread and butter”, so there are also paid programs that provide high level details and are equipped with advanced functionality.
Advantages of 3D design
Apartment owners are lucky if they have a rich imagination. Looking at the paper plan, it is difficult to imagine a special relief instead of a wavy line on the wall. And it’s even more problematic to imagine how advantageously its texture will emphasize the simplicity of the decor. The process of objectively assessing the redevelopment of rooms in an apartment becomes almost unrealistic. The two most difficult rooms in the house are the kitchen and the bathroom. They are equipped with a set of communication lines, which are marked schematically on a regular plan. Subsequently, this sketch can bring a lot of problems, since many nuances will simply not be taken into account. Interior design in 3D prevents these difficulties. The program allows you to create an individual plan with the implementation of the most daring design solutions, taking into account the peculiarities of style and competent layout of zones. In addition, most designers, when entering dimensions, carry out calculations independently. As a result, the user will receive a full report on the amount of finishing materials required to decorate the room.
Planners have found their application in the design of home interiors and in the design of complex production facilities. In these cases, approximate sketches are not used at all, since errors can develop into a disaster.
Disadvantages of 3D design
There are practically no disadvantages to 3D modeling. This situation arose due to the highly outdated methods of working with layouts that were used previously. Perhaps the only controversial disadvantage is the time cost. To learn how to create a comfortable, thoughtful interior design, you will have to spend more than one hour on master classes and training lessons.
Review of programs for interior designer
There are a lot of programs for creating three-dimensional models of room interiors. From the variety, you need to choose your own option, which will be convenient to work with. The functionality and set of tools in each program is also different. Some are designed for professionals, while others are made in primitive versions for beginners. Let's try to understand a dozen popular planners and evaluate their advantages and disadvantages.
Working with the program begins with registration on the service or with authorization through a Facebook page. You can start a design project from a blank sheet of paper, that is, start planning, or use one of standard plans apartments that are presented in the catalogue. The program gallery has access to already finished works other users. You can take them as a basis for your own project or use them as a source creative ideas. The planner's detail is slightly above average. The catalogs present various types of furniture, options for windows, doors, stairs. The color palette and range of textures are quite rich. The program stores information in the cloud, so you can only work with it in online mode. The planner is free, Russified and designed for designers of the “amateur” or “beginner” levels.
The program is designed for beginner designers. The detailing is primitive, but installing objects is simple: just drag them from the catalog to the desired location. The planner allows you to create a comprehensive interior picture: from furniture to decorative items. Unfortunately, the range of items is limited. Additionally, new catalogs are available for download on the manufacturer’s website. The program is free.
The program was launched by a famous Swedish furniture manufacturer. Ikea has always been distinguished by its original approach, so it was able to distinguish itself here too. Even a beginner can handle the program. Any room (living room, bedroom, kitchen) can be designed, furniture can be placed in it and decorative elements. However, the choice is offered exclusively from the IKEA assortment. That is, the program combines the capabilities of 3D modeling with advertising campaign. Essentially, Ikea home planner is a visualized catalog of Swedish products. The program is free, some of the advantages are noted additional function- calculation of the total cost of furnishings.
The 3D visualizer is released in two versions:
- Google Sketchup Pro. Has wider functionality. The version is designed for professional designers. You will have to pay to use the program.
- Google Sketchup. Simple, free version for beginners. More like a demo.
Before you buy Google Sketchup Pro, it is better to try the primitive version of the planner to evaluate its advantages and identify its shortcomings. However, even a program for beginners allows you to create a full-fledged interior: layout, color scheme, decoration, furniture and decor. In addition to the already placed elements, dimensions and markings are added. The simple version does not have in its arsenal such catalogs as the professional one. In addition to the interior of the premises, it is possible to develop the design of a garage, landscape design plot and even streets.
The program works only online. To start registration, go through a quick registration. Unfortunately, the visualizer is not Russified, so without school knowledge English is difficult to understand. The detailing of the picture is a little lacking, but the service involves planning not only furniture or finishing materials, but also communication systems, stairs, and partitions. The function of walking around the house and viewing pictures from inside the premises is available.
The planner is designed for beginners. The program has a simple interface and a standard set of tools. The function of downloading the apartment plan is available.

Roomle operates exclusively online and is free to use. The function of walking around the house is available, zooming in on areas of interest in the room.
You can only work with the service online, that is, the scheduler stores data in the cloud and is not designed for downloading and installation on a computer. The layout of the room is presented as a schematic background. The main emphasis in the program is on furniture and finishing materials. For any surface, you can independently select the shade, texture, patterns or designs, glossy shine or matte finish.

They are used as templates or sources of inspiration. The planner is used as experienced designers, and beginners alike. Free trial demo version only.
The Astron planner can hardly be called a full-fledged visualizer, since the images in it are two-dimensional. To a greater extent, it is a primitive program for arranging furniture and selecting color scheme rooms. In the planner, the dimensions of the rooms are added, the texture and pattern of finishing materials are selected. Until recently, the palette of colors was scarce. The updated catalogs have more color variations. The program is free and suitable for beginner designers as a training example.
The program is equipped with wide functionality. It involves creating a layout, choosing finishing materials, furniture, and interior decorations. In the visualizer you can create a small one-room apartment, country mansion, studio with conditional or actual zoning. The catalog presents more than 60 furniture options and over 100 types of finishing materials. You can use elements for classic, modern, Scandinavian, Italian styles. The “walk around the house” function is available, that is, the user evaluates with his own eyes not only the plan from the outside, but also the features of the decoration from inside the room. Working with the program is quite simple. Only a demo version is publicly available. It is free and allows you to evaluate the capabilities of the program. To continue working with the planner, you will have to pay for a subscription.
The program is distinguished by highly detailed and realistic images. Before use, register on the official website in order to synchronize projects with the server.

Some items in the catalogs are “locked” and become available only after you sign up for a paid subscription. If the designer needs to carry out routine repairs, then a one-week purchase of the right to use the full version will be enough.
The planner is designed for professionals. FloorPlan 3D allows you to do interior design, exterior and landscape design.
