3D layout. Interior design programs: review of the best

Interior Design 3D is a program in which every PC user can competently plan the interior of an apartment, private house or office.

By installing the application on your computer, you can create the desired rooms in a matter of minutes, arrange furniture, and then customize the design and view the finished result in 3D mode.

Main advantages of the software:

convenient Russian-language interface;
accurate and simple creation of rooms;
120+ finishing materials;
over 50 pieces of furniture;
quick printing of the finished project.

The program allows you to create both one-story buildings and design houses of two or more floors.

To get started, you will need to upload a house or apartment plan into the program. If you don’t have it at hand, then manually draw all the rooms in the built-in editor or select the appropriate layout in the application catalog.

Only after this can you move on to creating the interior. The program contains items for all major living and working spaces. With their help, you will arrange a living room, bedroom, kitchen, office, nursery, bathroom, hallway, and also think over the decor, adding paintings, flowers and other available elements to the premises.

Flexible configuration of all plan elements.

"Interior Design 3D" allows you to change appearance all components of the project. To do this, it is enough to select required element and refer to its properties. For example, you can easily adjust the decoration of the premises: choose different wallpaper, suitable materials for ceiling decoration and new floor covering. The interior can be configured in the same way: just a few clicks - and the screen in front of you is completely new item, completely consistent with your ideas.

Convenient viewing and saving of the project.

One of the main advantages of the program is the ability to see a 3D layout of the room on the screen at all stages of work. This will allow you to notice all errors in time and quickly eliminate them. When the work is completed, look at the “Virtual Visit” tab. “Interior Design 3D” will offer you to take a “walk” through the updated rooms and evaluate the renovation and furnishings from the inside.

You can download 3D Interior Design in Russian to your computer for free using the official links provided after the characteristics of the program.

Previously, it was difficult to imagine designing a home without the help of professionals. Now the 3D apartment design program has changed everything. If you are bored with the old furnishings and decide to renovate, use the editor.

The software makes it possible to design in detail a virtual model of any room - multi-storey building, apartment, studio, office or separate room. The editor's functionality covers wide range works from simple furniture rearrangement to creating a design from scratch. Furnish your apartment, experiment with decoration and turn ideas into reality with unprecedented simplicity and savings.

Apartment design according to your wishes

If the combination “3D modeling” doesn’t tell you anything at all, don’t worry! “Interior Design” is a program in which any user, regardless of experience, can achieve the desired result. For simplicity, most options work in semi-automatic mode - to add or remove an object, just one click of a button is enough.

You can use ready-made layouts or draw a room diagram manually using straight lines. Show the apartment on the drawing as a single layout or place each room separately. The main work on the design takes place in a 2D editor; all changes made are immediately transferred to the 3D model by the program. Appearance final product It just depends on your goals and preferences. The software allows you to evaluate the result obtained by increasing the scale of the diagram and rotating the virtual plan 360 degrees.

Ability to calculate dimensions

Before you create a diagram, you need to adjust the grid spacing in the drawing. Whether it will be equal to 1, 2 or 5 meters, you decide for yourself. In the future, based on this scale, the software will automatically display the dimensions of all elements of the plan, from the length and width of doors and windows to the total area of the room.

Moreover, “Interior Design 3D” allows you to specify the dimensions of furniture pieces with millimeter accuracy, as well as calculate the distance between various objects on the plan. To do this, just go to the “Ruler” mode in one click and specify the start and end points of measurements.

The program will immediately determine the length of the selected segment in centimeters. All this will make your 3D apartment design not only visual, but also convenient to use in practice. There are no fittings “by eye” or approximate options - the result of the work will be as accurate and close to reality as possible.

Incredible apartment design and furniture layout

The plan drawing is only the first stage of design development. Next, you have to “revive” the apartment by choosing the finish and filling the space with furniture and household appliances. You don't need to look for any additional materials– the program provides all the necessary elements and settings for them.

"Interior Design 3D" contains a catalog of built-in textures for decorating each room. All textures are completely real, you can find the same or similar ones in any hardware store. The materials are conventionally divided into functional groups - “Walls”, “Floor” and “Ceiling”.

Each has its own set of textures. Try it different options– to radically change the appearance of a room, just a few button presses are enough. Decorate the walls with wallpaper, paint, brick or stone masonry, cover the floor with carpet, cover it with linoleum or laminate. The field for experimentation is limited only by your imagination.

To add furniture, use the collection ready-made models. The program offers you a universal set of 3D objects that can be placed on the plan in one click. For convenience, the catalog of furniture and equipment is also divided into thematic categories. The “Living Room” group presents all kinds of armchairs, sofas, display cases, and the “Bedroom” group includes beds, bedside tables and chests of drawers. The dimensions and finish of each item are set by default, but you can freely vary the necessary parameters to your liking.

Save and print your projects

The apartment design program offers several options to choose from convenient ways save the result. The editor automatically converts finished project to the .DPI extension. This is an internal format that can only be recognized by Interior Design. In the future, you can open the file with the completed project and freely make the necessary changes. Additionally, you can save the plan as a picture or print it immediately.

Realistic home modeling is now available to everyone! Download an interior design program and decorate your apartment quickly and economically.

Interior design programs are a great assistant for those who do their own design.

In one of the previous articles, we discussed the issue of. I dare to assume that you have completed the points from this article and are ready to move on - start visualization.

There are a million and one interior design programs to do this. Conventionally, they can be divided into professional and amateur. We will start by looking at amateur programs, and at the end I will talk about the features of professional programs.

Amateurs are those who:

easy to learn (i.e. amateur, although the designers themselves do not neglect them);
distributed free of charge;
most popular.

I will also give examples of the final result of using this or that program and talk about the advantages and disadvantages.

So, let's go!

Features of using interior design programs

Work in all interior design programs is based on general principles. What opportunities does the program provide? How to work with her?

Draw a floor plan of the apartment (specifying the plan parameters in numbers). It's much more convenient and faster than drawing by hand.
Choose materials, their color and texture.
Arrange interior items (appliances, furniture, lamps), changing their shape and size.
Make a rendering (i.e. visualization of what was drawn in 3D volume) and look at the fruits of your creativity in the finished version.
Calculate the approximate cost of materials (estimate). This feature is not available in all programs.

To understand what will be discussed below, familiarize yourself with some specific terms. Believe me, you will need them.

Interface– this is the appearance and menu of the program.
Library - this is a database of interior elements (furniture, lamps, etc.) that you can add to the interior when modeling your apartment.
Plugin– this is an additional component for the main program, which is needed to expand the capabilities of the program (downloaded separately and connected to the program).
Rendering is a function that visualizes what is drawn in 3D volume (usually with shadows, close to realism).

Interior design programs: review of the best

If you want to create a stylish and truly designer interior yourself, then you will be interested in getting acquainted with the comprehensive course "". As for the programs, I would like to point out right away that almost all of them require a fairly decent computer. Otherwise, all your creativity will hang during rendering.

So, let's get down to business and look at the advantages and disadvantages different types design programs.

Planoplan.

Pros.

In my opinion, this is the best program that is available for free and is easy to learn. Moreover, some professionals also use it. Pros:

Cons.

To work, you need a network connection (Internet) and if it is slow, then everything will freeze in best case scenario, and in the worst case, your project simply will not be saved. You have to try it :-)
The first 3 plans are free. Subsequent ones – 10 rubles. The first 3 renders are free, the next ones are 10 rubles. In general, everything together will not cost more than 150-400 rubles, but this is still a plus.

Sweet Home 3D.

Pros: many parameters and settings.

Cons: you need to spend time studying the not so convenient and cluttered menu.

PRO100.

This is a furniture design program, but it can also be used to model interiors.

Pros.

A user-friendly interface that allows you to master the program in 1-2 days and create your own interior in 2 hours.
Possibility of creating your own furniture libraries (a definite plus for more professional use)
Simple computer requirements: Pentium 1500MHz processor or higher
512MV RAM RAM

Cons.

The main disadvantage is the poor realism of the picture
The program is paid, but it is quite possible to download a torrent or install a licensed demo version.

SketchUp

This is a program from Google. It is also used by hobbyists and designers. Although designers use other programs to create photorealistic images.

Pros.

Intuitive interface
Built-in integration with other Google services, which will allow you to calculate room lighting depending on your location.
The program's capabilities are wide: you can design not only interior design, but also landscape design

Cons.

I would not call this program very convenient, since it does not have help. But on YouTube you can find many video tutorials on this topic.
If you master it at the proper level, it is not fast.
There are no “chips” like in Sweet Home
A bunch of plugins are required for full functionality.

Other amateur programs for interior design

There are also very simple online programs. They are completely for a beginner: Autodesk HomeStyler (interface on English) and its analogue Planner 5D. There is also IKEA Home Planner (as you understand, the library of this program includes only IKEA furniture). Try them if you are too lazy to understand programs :-)

Professional programs for interior design

Here the choice is no longer so great. I will tell you which ones I personally used, and which ones I still use. So, here we go:

AutoCAD

This is a drawing and development program technical documentation. Manufacturer: Autodesk. The interface is very easy and convenient. Rumor has it that you can do 3D in it, but the quality is not the best, and the work is very, very labor-intensive. That is, the ratio of effort expended and result will clearly not satisfy a professional designer.

I myself worked with this program, but purely to develop documentation (drawings) for builders. I can say that for some reasons I liked Archikad more :)

ArchiCAD

The ArchiCAD program is also a professional program for working with a design project, but from a different manufacturer (Graphisoft). The advantages of this program are that, for example, when drawing walls in 2D, you can easily press a button and see the same walls in 3D. In one click! This is very convenient, especially if you do not have spatial imagination (well, or you do, but you want to make sure that your And Denia). Time spent on drawing walls, windows, etc. more than in AutoCAD, but the result is worth it: a 3D picture in one click, wall layouts in 2 clicks (while in AutoCAD you need to draw all this yourself). Well, and many other useful things that will come in handy in interior design.

Now I am working (creating drawings) in this program, and I am more than satisfied with the result. It takes much more time to master this program than AutoCAD, especially if you want to make more or less realistic visualizations, and not just see the geometry of an object in 3D.

3dsMax

Probably everyone has heard about this program, because this is what designers call it in the first place. Apparently, this is due to the fact that it does not make some boring drawings, but photorealistic pictures that customers like so much. The manufacturer is the same as AutoCAD - Autodesk.

Unlike Archikad, images created in Max can reach such a degree of realism that not even every professional can distinguish this picture from a photo. That is, the possibilities are so high that it is no longer possible to compare with Archikad. However, drawings are not made in it - only interior visualization.

It takes huge amount time. Personally, I consider it the most difficult to master, but the result is worth it :)

Other professional interior design programs

In general, a designer needs one program for drawing and one for visualization. I have already listed the best ones. But there is still a very necessary program, and one replacement program:

Photoshop— necessary for a designer to create collages. It can be replaced with other programs, but read the article “” about them.
SketchUp— I already wrote about him above. I will only add that there are designers who use this particular program. In addition, it is free and there are now many additions to it on the Internet (for example, furniture libraries are growing rapidly).

Results

To sum it up, the best program for interior design for a beginner (that is, for those who are doing renovations for themselves and don’t want to bother too much), I would name the very first option - Planoplan.

And for those who are mastering the profession of designer - Archikad. In the first couple of days, he will help you make drawings and good visualization.

And remember to get something that is truly functional and beautiful room, you first need to decide on the style, as well as (warm, cold, neutral). And if you want to learn how to create beautiful interior yourself, then it will help you.

The way your design will become amazingly beautiful!

Your guide to the world of design,

When starting to renovate an apartment or house, we usually have an idealized picture of the final result. We go shopping with this picture and try to convey it to consultants so that they can point to a specific material that satisfies our imagination. But it happens that after hanging wallpaper and laying out the wall, we don’t see the result that looked so good in our imagination. And it’s better not to mention the stress associated with repairs at all, otherwise you’ll have to take a sedative before you even start.

Fortunately, it’s the 21st century, how good it is to live in it, a lot of gadgets have been created and even more various programs that help make our lives easier.
