Available gor iOS and Android phones, Palette Cam lets users pick and save the colours they encounter in their everyday lives and create palletes of colours to form a colour-scheme.

The app has the largest library of 3D furniture products in the world and uses augmented reality to place an object in your room using a photo. Rooomy measures up the room from the photo you supply and turns it into a 3D virtual staging space. Once you find the perfect piece, click through to the retailer’s website and place your order.

Other Design tips

I want to make sure you’re using at least one of these two utilities; it’s important because they are cutting edge in each of their categories and will help you be a smarter, more informed buyer, seller or owner of real estate. The second one’s importance is not so much the “value” component (let’s be honest, how accurate can a comptuer algorithm really be when nuancing “view”, “condition”, “micro-location” and/or “lot utility” variables), rather the importance in the results of the “big data” tech that informs you how many REAL buyers are actually searching NOW for a home matching your home’s characteristics!
