Furnish is a handy augmented reality app for interior design that lets you preview furniture pieces from a variety of furniture retailers like West Elm, Crate & Barrel, IKEA and Uncommon Goods.
The app is loaded with items like lighting, beds, mirrors, chairs, tables and storage solutions, which makes it easy to visualize how a piece of home decor will fit in with the rest of your existing furnishings. If you need a little inspiration, there's a built-in gallery as well. With the app, you'll never have to second guess a purchase again and if a virtual piece of furniture happens to look perfectly at home, it's possible to make a purchase right from within the Furnish app.
Monthly, new furniture is added to the app and Furnish is continually looking for new furniture retailers to add to its innovative app.
