Home Design Studio

How to use Home Design Studio

1. Pick the Wall tool and click to draw the outline of each room on the grid. Hold Shift for perfectly straight walls, and press Esc to finish a run.
2. Add doors and windows by selecting the Door or Window tool and clicking on a wall, then place furniture from the catalog with the Furniture tool.
3. Switch to the 3D View tab to see your plan built in three dimensions. Drag to orbit, scroll to zoom.
4. Open the Interior tab to set floor and wall colours and walk through inside, or the Exterior tab to choose a roof, wall colour and garden.
5. Export a PNG of the plan or 3D view, download a 3D GLB model, or save your project to continue later.

From a blank grid to a finished home

Good home design starts with the plan. Begin in the 2D Plan tab and sketch the outer shell of your house with the Wall tool, clicking corner to corner. The grid and snapping keep walls aligned, and holding Shift forces a wall to stay straight. Add interior walls to divide the space into rooms; as soon as a space is fully enclosed it is recognised as a room and its floor area is measured for you.

Once the layout is there, add openings. The Door and Window tools drop an opening onto whichever wall you click, and you can delete or move anything with the Select and Erase tools. Then open the furniture catalog and click to place sofas, beds, tables, kitchen units and more — each one is a real-world size, so you can check that everything fits before you build or buy.

Seeing it in 3D, inside and out

The same plan drives every 3D view, so you never redraw anything. The 3D View tab extrudes your walls to the height you set, cuts the door and window openings, and lays a floor in each room. Drag to orbit and scroll to zoom to inspect the massing of the house from any angle.

The Interior tab adds your furniture and lets you choose floor and wall colours room by room, with a walk-through option that drops the camera to eye level inside. The Exterior tab wraps the house in a roof — gable or flat — sets the outside wall colour, and places it on a ground plane so you can see the finished look from the street. Switching tabs is instant because it is all the same model.

Saving, exporting and sharing your work

• Your project auto-saves in your browser, so closing the tab will not lose your work.
• Use Save to download the project as a file you can back up or move to another device, and Open to load it again.
• Export a PNG to drop the plan or a 3D view into a document, email or chat.
• Export a GLB to get a real 3D model you can open in the GLB Viewer on this site, or import into Blender, SketchUp and other 3D tools.

Tips for a better plan

• Draw the outer walls first as one closed loop, then add internal partitions — this makes room detection reliable.
• Switch between metric and imperial units at any time; all measurements update instantly.
• Set the wall height before exporting to 3D if you want taller or shorter ceilings.
• Place large furniture first (beds, sofas, dining tables) to test circulation space, then fill in the smaller pieces.
• Use the Exterior tab late in the process, once the footprint is settled, to choose a roof and colours.

Why use this home design studio tool

• Draw in 2D, see in 3D instantly. Your 2D floor plan is turned into real 3D walls, floors and openings in real time — no rendering wait and no separate export step.
• Interior and exterior in one place. Place furniture, set floor and wall colours, pick a roof style and ground, and view the whole house from inside or outside.
• Rooms and areas detected for you. Close a loop of walls and the room is found automatically, named, and measured in square metres or feet.
• Private and free. The whole studio runs in your browser. No account, no upload, no watermark. Save your design as a file or export images and a 3D model.
