Sweet Home 3D is an interior-design app that lets you create 2D floor plans, add and arrange furniture, and then examine your work in 3D.

Pros

Available for free: Although the Mac App Store and Amazon offers a $13.99 paid version with 1,200 pieces of furniture, check out the free version, which comes with 100 furniture pieces.

Easy to get going: To start, click the New Home button in the toolbar. If you have a blueprint or drawing of your home design, you can import it to use as a background as you create your floorplan.

Add wall details: Use the Create Walls command to draw walls on your design. Alignment tools help you precisely add walls. Once a wall is added, you can reposition it and add doors and windows. Doors and windows automatically can orient and resize based on the orientation and thickness of the wall.

Draw rooms and add levels to your house: If you want to place rooms within walls you've created, click the "Create Rooms" button and then place the room. You can name rooms and modify the the color and texture of floors and ceilings. You can also add stories to your plan with the Add Level tool.

Furnish your place: You can also add furniture, which the app can automatically orient so its back faces a wall. You can change the size, height, elevation, and angle of a piece of furniture. You can also add 3D models of furniture, either created by Sweet Home 3D contributors or items you've designed yourself.

Check your work: A 3D view lets you explore your floor plans either with an overhead camera or as a walkthrough.

Cons

Some rough edges: You may need to do some fiddling to get precise room dimensions or exact dimensions of furniture or appliances.

Bottom Line

Sweet Home 3D helps you design your home's new interior and furnish it. While its tools give you quite a bit of control over what you create, it may take a bit of work to get exactly what you are looking for.

Great job! Love it!

Pros
I use this app almost everyday. It's very simple, I just wish I had found it sooner.
Cons
Would like to see more room decorations added.
Summary
Well worth the price.
Free, easy to learn and use but poor at print time
andrewdowns1March 6, 2016
Pros
Easy to use Good for basic plans You can draw scale plans BUT printing them is poor or unusable. Multiple floor levels.
Cons
I cannot find a way to print out a scale plan that I can send to my planning authority. Feels dated. Tricky to add lower floors if you start with an upper floor.
Summary
This is amazing for free software - not buggy and well developed. It has been useful for envisioning some layout changes and drawing plans to scale. But I've been unable to print a scale plan to one sheet and am now having to reproduce my work in software that gives me more control for printing that I can send to me planning authority who need a scale plan printable on a single sheet.
Could use a speed boost, but great

Pros
Excellent graphics Ability to import objects Ability to modify objects Free
Cons
Gets sluggish when file gets big
Summary
Great product that could benefit from a speed boost.
Extremely useful and it is free!

Pros
I have used it to "place" our furniture in a home we bought but on which we have not yet closed. The 3D rendering is particularly useful, especially when I make a "photographic" image of a room and show sunlight patterns through windows at any given time of day. Although the furnishing objects are limited, I was able to import some more and to substitute objects that approximated our antique primitive furniture by specifying the color and dimensions. Finding help took a little work, but it is usually there and,once found, easily understood. We have moved a lot, and I have used graph paper and more primitive programs for furniture placement, but this is hands-down the most sophisticated software I have ever used, and I am eager to explore the potential of this program. If you know the dimensions of the rooms you want to arrange, the program makes it easy to draw and to place your furnishings where they best fit. Just remember to start a wall with a click and end it with two clicks.
Cons
I wish there were more objects to choose from. Does nobody but us have rocking chairs, for instance? I am color weak (I'm a male) and would love to have a color pallet with more discernable colors. Especially compound colors--shades of brown or green. But these are minor problems.
Summary
It is a useful and sophisticated program, and it's FREE. It takes some learning to use, but it is very useful once you get the hang of it. My thanks to the programmers.
Some Great Features, Easy to Learn... No wood floors?
mickpickNovember 29, 2011
Pros
I've used this to assist with small renovations. I found it easy to pick up for the most park, I have zero background in CAD so thats a plus for new users. I am con You can download additional sets of icons for projects you are working on. Not a lot, but it all adds up.
Cons
The selection of textures for walls, ceiling and flooring is very poor. You can find four styles of soap holders, but need a wooden floor..
Summary
All in all, I picked up a new computer and it was on the top of my list to download and install.
haven't used enough but so far, good software.
bossuglyOctober 28, 2011
Pros
Love what you can do with a simple drawing. Don't know how the software calculate the length of a line but again, I haven't used it enough.
Cons
Don't know how the software calculate the length of a line but again, I haven't used it enough.
Summary
Good so far.
great for a free app!

dbuia1_dotmacSeptember 7, 2010

Cons
Wish there were more windows and doors and more accessible furniture image.
Summary
Overall a terrific product with great potential....and it's free!

Outline home plans, lay out furniture & view the results in 3D.

Sweet Home 3D helps you to design your interior quickly and easily: draw the rooms of each level of your home upon the image of an existing plan, change the color or the texture of each room, and drag and drop furniture onto the plan from a catalog organized by categories (windows, doors, living room, kitchen), in which you can import 3D models created by yourself or downloaded from various Web sites. All the changes made in the 2D plan are simultaneously reflected in a 3D view, and you can navigate in 3D either from an aerial view point, or from a virtual visitor view point. Finally, you can improve your home plan by adding dimensions and texts to it, print it along with the 3D view, create a photorealistic image of the 3D view with customized lights, create a movie from a virtual path in the 3D view and export the plan to SVG format or the 3D view to OBJ format to import them in other 2D or 3D software. Sweet Home 3D is available in English, Brazilian Portuguese, Bulgarian, Chinese, Czech, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, and Vietnamese.
