Decor Matters: Home Design App

It’s nearly the dream design app...but they overlooked some tiny but SEVERELY ANNOYING technical flaws that impure gameplay. There is a pop up button when an item is selected recommending similar items & you cannot make it go away. I have an iPhone 8 & on my phone that button covers the perspective slider so I cannot ever use that function. It limits my selection of items to next to nothing because I cannot properly place them in the room. Also, don’t think about using anything white, silver, or pale. The app cannot tell the difference between the item and the background & automatically deletes major parts of it (or won’t delete an obscure shape of part of the background). I’ve spent hours trying to clean up images to make them look halfway decent & not obstruct the other items in the room, but eventually came to the conclusion that the majority of them are just not worth trying. Scaling could also be improved, many of the rugs cannot be enlarged to fit the entire room (at least not sideways the way I’ve had to position them because of the perspective slider) & several of the final touches won’t scale down enough to fit on the tables & look natural. Lastly, while I do enjoy the ability to design outside of the challenge & the free materials (they are the highlights of the game), like any interior design game I find the quantity of challenges lacking. Especially the more advanced ones with requirements.

Finally! The interior design game I’ve been looking for! And free too!!! This game gives free will for designing a room without having to purchase coins or diamonds; or voting (for what seems like forever) on rooms for tickets to design your own room. The only (small) downfall in the organization of items for rooms. Looking through accent chairs will also pull up random mirrors or tables. Searching for specific items is almost pointless because you’ll get everything but what you’re looking for. Maybe I’m just too new to this game and haven’t figured the search part out yet; but still, searching for “bowl of fruit” (because this game gives you the chance to be that detailed and specific- one of the pluses of the game) should be a bit easier and not show pillows or wall decor. Another thing I really enjoy is that it’s a type of social media. Almost like instagram. You can comment and like and follow other “designers”, even give gifts that give coins. I haven’t figured out what the coins do for you yet. Anyways, this game is great and I really hope someone behind it can narrow down the search option and categorize the thousands upon thousands of items to design with. Maybe that’s the problem, too many items to begin with?

FINALLY!!!!!!! This is the app I’ve always dreamed of. It is beautifully designed and easy to use. If you are looking for a simple, effective, working design app, this is the one for you. I have only had it for a few months, and I play it as much as possible, sometimes for hours every day. It has tens of thousands of furniture and accessory options, and doesn’t require you to put certain pieces of furniture in certain areas, you can do whatever you want. I have friends on this app, and am always excited when they post new designs. While you can play with strangers, there isn’t much you can do to interact with them, so it is very child friendly. I would recommend 9+ for this app, because there are links in the app that lead to websites where you can purchase furniture. I really love the challenges, because you can “compete” with other players in a friendly, non competitive way. The only problem I see with this app is the fact that you have to pay to use pictures of your own decor. Overall, this is an amazing app for kids and adults, and I totally recommend it to anyone searching for a good interior design app. 🤪😜😍😎♥️🤩
