3D House Design: Plan and Visualize Your Space

Plan your home, then see it in 3D.

Create a floor plan and instantly turn it into a clear, realistic 3D view of your house. Test layouts, materials, and furniture so you can make confident decisions before anything is built.

3D floor plan of a modern apartment featuring two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and multiple living areas. The layout includes a spacious open-concept living and dining room with large windows, a kitchen with an island and bar seating, and a separate TV lounge. The master bedroom has a large bed and private access to a balcony, while the second bedroom includes a single bed and desk. The apartment also features two tiled bathrooms, a laundry area, and several closets throughout.

How It Works

Black-and-white 2D floor plan of a small apartment or home layout. The space includes a combined kitchen and living area with a sofa, dining table, and L-shaped kitchen counter. One bedroom is shown with a double bed and side tables. Adjacent to the bedroom is a bathroom with a bathtub, toilet, and sink. A small room, possibly a storage or utility room, is next to the bathroom. Stairs are positioned on the right side of the plan, and entry is through the lower right door. Potted plants are placed outside the perimeter.

1. Create

Draw it from scratch, scan your space, or bring in an existing plan.

The interface includes a top menu with icons for editing tools, a “3D” button, and a sidebar on the right featuring various symbols such as compass roses and direction arrows.

2. Customize

Experiment with layouts, furniture, and finishes until the space feels right.

The open-plan living space features a kitchen with an island sink, a dining area with a white table and green chairs, and a living area with a black-and-white patterned rug and gray sofa. The bathroom includes a shower, toilet, and vanity. A stairwell is located near the entrance. The apartment also features a tiled outdoor patio with seating and plants. Dark wood flooring contrasts with white and patterned tiles.

Design Your House in 2D and 3D

RoomSketcher helps you design your home in a way that feels straightforward and manageable.

You start by creating a floor plan in 2D. From there, you can view the same plan in 3D to better understand the space, try different materials and finishes, and see how everything works together.

This makes 3D visualization a natural part of the design process, not an extra step. You draw once, then switch between 2D and 3D as needed.

RoomSketcher works for both personal and professional projects, whether you’re planning a home for yourself or preparing visuals to share with others.

Seeing the Plan Before Building

We planned our complete house alterations and garden landscaping based on our very detailed project in RoomSketcher (floor plan and 3D images). RoomSketcher served as the basis for us to showcase our vision to our builder team who then implemented it exactly as visualized in our briefing.
