Virtually Design Your Real Home - MyDeco (GALLERY)

Some people redecorate their homes as often as they revamp their wardrobes. Whether you’re into frequent renos or not, decorating your home can be a fun way to refresh your life, but it’s a tedious task, especially if you have difficulty visualizing the outcome.

To take the complication out of selecting furniture, paint, flooring and decor, try out MyDeco.com, a website that allows you to play virtual interior designer with your real home.

Simply upload photos of your living space and begin placing 3D furniture, play with new paint colours, wallpapers and flooring, or play with a ton of other innovative design tools.

I had so much fun with this! You can choose from tiles, wood floors and carpet; different colour paints and hundreds of wallpapers. It’s a blast, even if you don’t want to reno your real place.

The site lets you plan with real products from home furnishing stores like The Conran Shop, Graham And Green, Heal’s, John Lewis and Oka.

What a fantastic marketing feature for these companies! Once people fall in love with the look of their new living space, it will be difficult for them to turn back to the drab old living room they had before their virtual decorating spree.
