AUTODESK Homestyler is one of my favourite products, it’s something that just about every one that lives in a house can relate to and it’s free, and we all like free!” says Autodesk evangelist Lynn Allen.
“If you have an entire house that you want to redecorate or just want to make modifications to, it’s a great way to get some idea of what you’re after.
“Homestyler allows you to take a look at the rooms in your house and see what they would look like re-decorated in a certain way.
"You can either measure the rooms in your house and create a floor plan or take pictures of the rooms and let Homestyler stitch those pictures together to create a 3D version of the rooms for you to work with. It’s an amazing technology,” says Lynn.
Homestyler provides all types of furniture, either branded or just in different styles for users to try out, while all other colour preferences are also up to the use, i.e. what colour to paint the walls and what type of flooring - all done online.
"The main thing is for you to see what the furniture looks like in a room before you go out and buy it or prevent you from painting a room before you realise you don’t like it as much as you thought you would.”
Homestyler also allows you to do basic renovations to your house, like maybe add on to your existing structure, add additional rooms, make your kitchen a little bigger or maybe knock down a wall, says Allen.
“A lot of options are available inside Homestyler and it’s so much better to knock a wall out online to see if you like it than to actually go and knock a wall out before deciding it wasn’t such a great idea after all!”
