The Sweet Home 3D freeware program features a bunch of useful tools for planning out your perfect family nest. There’s a furniture catalogue as well as a section where you can list out your current furniture to embarrass yourself. You can also scan in the blueprints of your home to speed up the design phase, and then edit, draw and customise the look and feel of your place as you need. The 3D view is the icing on the cake. Available in 15 languages for Windows, Mac and Linux.

This program is aimed at people who want to design their interior quickly, whether they are moving or they just want to redesign their existing home. Numerous visual guides help you draw the plan of your home and layout furniture. You may draw the walls of your rooms upon the image of an existing plan, and then, drag and drop furniture onto the plan from a catalog organized by categories. Each change in the 2D plan is simultaneously updated in the 3D view, to show you a realistic rendering of your layout.
