Sweet Home 3D

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

Sweet Home 3D is a free interior design application that helps you place your furniture on a house 2D plan, with a 3D preview, and I must say it’s bloody awesome. I found it after reading about it on a blog called The Telarah Times. Now if only I had the time to draw up some plans to use in it.

I might find the time when I’m on Holiday over Christmas could be something fun to do.

Sweet Home 3D is available for Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux, you can download it here.
