What is Live Home 3D?

Live Home 3D is an interior design tool that lets you plan and visualise room layouts in both 2D and 3D. It comes with a library of pre-built templates, furniture objects, and materials so you can start designing straight away rather than building from scratch. The tool is aimed at homeowners wanting to experiment with designs before buying furniture or making changes, as well as interior designers and property professionals who need to present ideas to clients quickly. The software handles the visual heavy lifting, letting you see how different furniture arrangements and colour schemes work in a space. You can swap between 2D floor plan view and 3D perspective to check proportions and sight lines. The freemium pricing means you can try the basics without paying upfront, though more advanced features or larger project storage may require a subscription.
