If you\u2019ve ever needed to capture a colour you love, desired immediate interior inspiration, or wanted to play around with your room layout, now you can. Because there\u2019s an app for that. In fact, there\u2019s an app for pretty much every interior decorating need. Here are a few of my favourites:<\/p>\n

Houzz<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Houzz\"<\/p>\n

An app of endless opportunities, there are millions (and I really do mean millions) of high quality images to provide you with interior \u2013 and exterior \u2013 inspiration. The images are all tagged according to style, room and location, so it\u2019s easy to find something particular. You can save ideas to your own personal mood board and you can even annotate and sketch directly onto an image. And as if that wasn\u2019t enough, you can read articles, discuss ideas with like-minded individuals, and even shop for products.<\/p>\n

The Houzz app is free, and available for iOS<\/a> and Android<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Color Capture<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Color<\/p>\n

This is an incredible app from paint-makers Benjamin Moore. Take a picture of anything you love the colour of and the app will match it to one of Benjamin Moore\u2019s 3,300 paint options. It\u2019s a quick and easy way to find a wall colour you\u2019ll love. In addition, you can share your choices via Facebook, Twitter or email for that all-important second opinion.<\/p>\n

Free, and available on iOS<\/a> and Android<\/a><\/p>\n

MyPantone<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"MyPantone\"<\/p>\n

Another colour focused app, this time from colour experts, Pantone. Featuring Pantone\u2019s entire library of colours, the app allows you to build palettes and share your favourites with your interior designers. It also works in a similar way to Color Capture, generating colour palettes based on your photographs.<\/p>\n

\u00a34.99, Android only<\/a><\/p>\n

Photo Measures<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Photo<\/p>\n

An app so genius in its simplicity, you\u2019ll wonder how you ever lived without it. This app provides a safe place to store room measurements. Super simple, right? Why not just use a piece of paper? Because the measurements are written directly onto a photograph of the space! It\u2019s fantastically useful when shopping for furniture or meeting potential contractors.<\/p>\n

\u00a36.99, iOS<\/a> and \u00a32.99, Android<\/a><\/p>\n

Room Layout Apps (in general)<\/strong><\/p>\n
