Open source interior design with Sweet Home 3D - Try out furniture layouts, color schemes, and more in virtual reality before you go shopping in the real world

Sweet Home 3D is an open-source (GPLv2) interior design application that helps you draw your home's floor plan and then define, resize, and arrange furniture. You can do all of this with precise measurements, down to fractions of a centimeter, without having to do any math and with the ease of basic drag-and-drop operations. And when you're done, you can view the results in 3D. If you can create a basic table (not the furniture kind) in a word processor, you can plan the interior design of your home in Sweet Home 3D.

You can see an overview of the software at https://opensource.com/article/19/10/interior-design-sweet-home-3d and a video I produced from the software when I designed the building extension we wanted at our home (we gave this to the architect and the builder to show what it should look like) at https://youtu.be/veikXavaHr8.
