Your [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pottery-barn-2) can be your new best friend in home decorating. Apps can make designing your space even easier; now eliminating the need for paint samples, drafting tables and even measuring tapes.

The [Color Capture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huntercolor) and ColorSnap apps will help you find your perfect paint shade. The Mark On Call app is the room arranger’s dream that helps you [visualize your space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/room-interior-design). There’s an app to assist in identifying and picking the kinds of wood you want, a Christie’s auction app for furniture seekers, and even an app specifically designed for the Green decorator.
