Some may baulk at the hefty price tag but
its list of features more than make up for
it. Even the New York Times newspaper
called it one of the best. It allows you to
render a 3D model of your house and
from there you can splash your walls
with colours, put in some furniture and of
course, tear down a wall or two.
There are a multitude of carpets, tiles,
floorings and wallpapers to choose from.
One thing, the renderings can look a
little rudimentary in this age of crisp and
high-definition images. Secondly, for better
furniture and texture – it asks for more
money. But if you think about it, it is still
cheaper than getting a pro.
