Room Arranger offers to help users by setting up a virtual room or rooms. While the controls require a steep learning curve, many users may feel that the exciting results are worth it.

This program definitely requires users without prior design experience to make a trip to the online Help file. Here, users will get a better idea of what the confusing icons and command buttons, which are scattered throughout, do. Designing a room was surprisingly simple after we got a feel for the program and did a little experimenting. Users choose the dimensions of their room and can even choose from a list of odd-shaped rooms to accommodate for more than four walls. From there, users can select various pieces of furniture and place them throughout the room. These appear only as geometric shapes on the layout. With simple click-and-drag operation, users should be able to construct an overhead view of their room in minutes. The program is flush with added features for measuring and altering dimensions, though the most intriguing is its 3D ability. Though it cannot be jumped right into (it's a good idea to make an added trip to the Help file to ensure everything is in order), it will give users a virtual-reality-type look at their creation.

While it takes some effort to manage, the 30-day trial is enough time to experience the program. We recommend it for budding interior designers and anyone looking to rearrange their living space.

It's been my life-saver for YEARS

Pros
Gets better every update. Many ways to detail your home.
Cons
Can be a little glitchy.
Summary
I've been using Room Arranger for about a decade now. I've lived in 3 apartments and 2 houses since then, and made each one in Room Arranger. It helped me to figure out where I'd put my furniture, visualize color schemes, I've even used it to design furniture and built-in shelving that we were able to use as a plan to build the stuff! Jan, the software creator, has personally responded to me when I had questions and didn't make me wait, either. After using it so much, I finally bought the license a few years ago (even though I'm super cheap), and haven't regretted it. The iPad app is also very handy. I'd recommend this software to anyone, and I have recommended it several times. Love this program.
Makes arranging furniture and decorating a snap

Pros
Lets you be creative with layout and decorating.
Cons
Somewhat of a learning curve.
Summary
I've used RoomArranger for some time now. First used it to arrange the furniture in my small condo. Now it's just fun to use. Although I am nowhere near being a professional designer or contractor, I can see the value this program would offer. Others have mentioned the help file is a bit concise (it is NOT online only - but it is an html file) but it does get you started. All of the reviews refer to Version 3.6. The current Version is 7.x and boy has it grown! I would definitely recommend this to professionals, do-it-yourselfers and hobbyists alike.

Great simple program. Nothing fancy, but useful for simple tasks
download103June 8, 2007
Pros
It's simple, metric system, easy to put, rotate and erase items, library has most shepes one may want, there's a "measure tool".
Cons
Couldn't get 3D to work, Can't "drag" items's sizes, quite basic for being a shareware
Summary
Really a great program !
HADELNApril 12, 2007
Pros
I had to refurnish a six room flat combining furniture from two different locations and was desperate to find a way to do it. Ã¢Â€ÂœRoom ArrangeÃ¢Â€Â helped me doing the job in only two days. ItÃ¢Â€Â™s a remarkable program, worth every cent of its 20$, and the new version 5 (2007) contains almost everything one needs, from a large collection of objects to many basic forms allowing one to build objects not in the collection, such as old furniture with unusual forms. The program is easy to use, at least in its 2D dimensions, once one has understood its basics and I had no problem using it on a XP machine. 3D effects are great, but itÃ¢Â€Â™s a bit more complex to get going with it. That took me a couple of days more... The Check origine of this program proves that we in Europe are also capable of great programming, and - believe it of not - even understand the difference between inches and centimetres !
Cons
The help menu, available in many languages, is well written but a bit too concise and has no search. It is only available online, which means one has no help without an internet connection. A downloadable version Ã¢Â€Âœfor idiotsÃ¢Â€Â should be made available.
Summary
Excellent Product
JooleyMarch 19, 2006
Pros
Easy to use. Uses ALL kinds of measurements -- I used Inches. (So it's NOT just metric as one old review states). Has lots of color. 3-D rendering is quite good.
Cons
Takes some time to get use to 3-D navigation, but that could just be new-user issues.
Summary
Love it!
Lorena75February 27, 2006
Pros
In about 30 minutes I was able to layout a room and rearrange it, and when you are strapped for time and energy, this is a great tool. It gives me the dimensions of things that will work in my layout and things that wont. Furniture, windows and accessories are all sizable they even include a bunkbed (which looks great in 3d). I enjoyed using the vrml it was a nifty tool to use in conjunction with a bunkbed a short ceiling and a fan!
Cons
It starts off in metric. And it has a strange look on rooms that are small in size, making them feel diminutive, and this can throw you when you are trying to visualize it in your head.
Summary
The "Diet Soda" of software..
silver_windNovember 29, 2005
Pros
The pros of the product is the convience that it gives. Enabling the user to design a room arrangment, of their choice, also gives the user the ability to explore the room in a virtual reality type environment (3D) One of the most useful features is that you can create your own object by using measurements, the program supports measurements for the room object/furniture for a more accurate arrangment allowing you to plan footpaths and so on.
Cons
Although this program has a few cons they are very annoying for anyone who wishes to use this product frequently. 1. The program has an expiration date (free trail). 2. You have to download a VRML viewer. 3. The measuring system is in metric. The other flaws are things such as: there could be color, better images, ability to upload 3D images/CAD, and a long trail or shareware/freeware ability. Like I said the "Diet Soda" of software which in my eyes if you want it bad enough then its good for you but it has a bad side if you don't want it bad enough (kinda like the taste of Diet pop its good if you need it badly but its bad if you don't). Enjoy the software its worth trying for you that are looking for something of this type. Silver Wind
