Before you create a 3D floor plan, you’ll want to select the medium you will use to bring your design to life. As technology has advanced, there are many 3D home design softwares on the market today, but our favorite is the Houzz Pro 3D Floor Planner. It allows you to model your designs in 2D, then model in 3D. Using AR you can create Life-Sized Walkthroughs of your client’s future home, giving them a peek into what the final project will look like.

Once you’ve chosen a 3D planning medium, you’ll want to start with a 2D drawing. This helps to ensure all measurements are correct and allows you to account for details like doors, windows and walls that will become staples in your 3D floor plan. 

Next, add furnishings, fixtures, flooring and any other materials you want to incorporate into your design. Get as detailed as possible here as sometimes it’s the smaller elements of a design that can bring everything together. During this stage, you’ll want to cross-reference with your mood board and ensure the look and feel is still aligned with what you previously presented to the client. 

Once your 3D floor plan is done, be sure to share it with your client and walk through it together. With Houzz Pro’s 3D home design app, you can share both aerial and dollhouse views with your client in their client portal. Then you can give them a Life-Sized Walkthrough of the design in their home using your phone or tablet. Consider clients bought-in!

Yes! Houzz Pro’s 3D Floor Plans can be built, adjusted and presented on an app that’s accessible from any mobile device. With Houzz Pro you won’t be limited to having client presentations in your studio or office. You can present your vision from anywhere that’s most convenient for you and your clients.

With so many home design professionals looking to digitize their business, there are many types of 3D interior design software available on the market today. When looking for a 3D Floor Planner that suits your needs, be sure to consider the following features:

• Additional Design Tools: Keep an eye out for 3D floor plan design tools that also have other features to help you convey your vision. For example, Houzz Pro’s 3D Floor Planner also enables you to create mood boards that wow your clients. Mood boards can also help expedite your 3D floor plans as any paint colors, furniture or fixtures are already added to your product library so they can be quickly applied to your floor plan.
• Built-In Proposals: Look for a 3D home design app that has a built-in proposal builder so you don’t have to waste time entering product information twice! With Houzz Pro, any products you add to your 3D floor plan can be added as items to your proposal. All price, dimension, color and quantities are already there and ready to be tailored to your project.
• Product Sourcing Syncing: Be sure to find a 3D room design app that helps make sourcing products faster! Tools like Houzz Pro make it simple to source products online and build a product library that can be used to create mood boards, 3D floor plans and more. When you need to create a tear sheet, all of your products are organized by project ready to be sourced in a flash.
