Decor Matters: Design & Play

FINALLY!!!!!!! This is the app I’ve always dreamed of. It is beautifully designed and easy to use. If you are looking for a simple, effective, working design app, this is the one for you. I have only had it for a few months, and I play it as much as possible, sometimes for hours every day. It has tens of thousands of furniture and accessory options, and doesn’t require you to put certain pieces of furniture in certain areas, you can do whatever you want. I have friends on this app, and am always excited when they post new designs. While you can play with strangers, there isn’t much you can do to interact with them, so it is very child friendly. I would recommend 9+ for this app, because there are links in the app that lead to websites where you can purchase furniture. I really love the challenges, because you can “compete” with other players in a friendly, non competitive way. The only problem I see with this app is the fact that you have to pay to use pictures of your own decor. Overall, this is an amazing app for kids and adults, and I totally recommend it to anyone searching for a good interior design app. 🤪😜😍😎♥️🤩

I NEVER write reviews for ANYTHING. I have been raving about this app ever since I stumbled upon it several days ago. I was itching for something to “play” as far as interior design goes (it’s my absolute obsession and dream). Just like others have said, there are other design games but cost money and MAKE you put things in certain areas. This game truly gives you freedom. I love that I can look at my “works of art” and know that I designed each and every aspect of it with the exception of the 4 walls and some small details (which are usually easily covered except they incorporate such beautiful details you wouldn’t want to anyway). There are endless options and OMG I just found the option to put your OWN elements into it as well. I am so thankful I found this because it’s truly a hobby of mine. Although I’ve been staying up way too late messing with it, it is amazing. I’m very disappointed in the people who have given this less than great scores. They’re either not very technically savvy, or pompous. Just saying!

I freaking LOvE this app. It gives you complete freedom when designing a room unlike other games this style. And the best part is it takes no in-game money to buy any of the furniture and you can use the piece as many times as you want. On top of that, you can even add your own furniture from your home. The scenes also give you complete free range as to where you’d like to put furniture and objects there’s no limit to how much you put into a room or where to put any of it. As far as selection goes there are literally thousands of items to choose and each category even down to the plants I’ll spend a half an hour just picking out the plants for one room because there are so many options . I always felt as though the other design games were restricting my creativity. This game breaks down all those barriers and allows you to just completely enjoy yourself without any limitations. five stars all the way. Xoxoxo

This app offers a variety of ways to use it. You can choose an item and see what it actually looks like in your home. Or you can choose one of their templates to create your design. Items include but are not limited to furniture, wall decor, rugs, curtains, art and many others. You can even upload your own items to use in your design. The app is free, however there is a fee you can pay if you want to upload many of your own items. There are challenges to compete with the other designers, and they are all so friendly. I have been using this app for almost 2 years and have made so many new friends from all over the world. Sometimes there are challenges where you can actually win a prize. This is definitely an app that never disappoints.

Finally! The interior design game I’ve been looking for! And free too!!! This game gives free will for designing a room without having to purchase coins or diamonds; or voting (for what seems like forever) on rooms for tickets to design your own room. The only (small) downfall in the organization of items for rooms. Looking through accent chairs will also pull up random mirrors or tables. Searching for specific items is almost pointless because you’ll get everything but what you’re looking for. Maybe I’m just too new to this game and haven’t figured the search part out yet; but still, searching for “bowl of fruit” (because this game gives you the chance to be that detailed and specific- one of the pluses of the game) should be a bit easier and not show pillows or wall decor. Another thing I really enjoy is that it’s a type of social media. Almost like instagram. You can comment and like and follow other “designers”, even give gifts that give coins. I haven’t figured out what the coins do for you yet. Anyways, this game is great and I really hope someone behind it can narrow down the search option and categorize the thousands upon thousands of items to design with. Maybe that’s the problem, too many items to begin with?

The first design I did was tedious to put together and very frustrating. I kept with it though, and I'm improving my skills for using the tools provided. If you are used to design programs like Photoshop, you'll be frustrated too. You are very limited on what you can put in a room because you have to find pieces that are the right angle for the room. There are a few options to edit what you choose, but not enough to make it perfect. You can change the perspective, but it Doesn't let you change the shape so you can get the right shape/perspective. There should be some paint brush options so we can add shadows where things should be darker, to help make the rooms look so flat and fake. I also wish that there were more filter options so I could search by style of room to only choose from the theme I'm going for. It would save me a lot of time looking through items. I really hope they add these things in the future. I love seeing the creative things people come up with, and I love the idea of these challenges to make you design a room for a specific purpose. The graphic designer in me needs these editing changes to happen for me to give a 5 star rating. I can already see that this app is going to be very addicting and fun!!

I love the fact that there are so many options to choose from and I’ve noticed that almost every three days or so there are new furnishing added to the collections so you end up with even more endless options. There are a couple things I wish that could be fixed though. When trying to be selective of the color of the furniture the color slider to choose your color isn’t very exact. It doesn’t have options like “red” but “rust red” and when you aren’t selective of this filter after swiping down for a long time you are able to find truly red furnishings. Also the scaling of small objects, I sometimes work a big room and I’d like to put stuff on shelves in the very back wall but the size of these accessories can’t go further and end up being too big. Maybe if you added a toggle slider to adjust the size to the smallest it can get. I wish you would be able to paint walls too. Or add a specific wall paper or texture. And lastly, I think it’s best to make sure that all the furnishings have all the angles so one can use them without being stuck with just 2-3 angles that might not work for our design. Above anything else I adore this app and would never stop using it if new spaces are added every once in a while.

I am in love with this app. Love all the choice and the fact that it's free, unlike another one I tried. It does have a few issues though. One issue I've encountered is that I worked really long and hard a room. I clicked the save button, message popped up that said saved, exited the app but came back to make sure my room was saved. I was so frustrated and upset that my room vanished, along with all the time and hard work I put in for it. That needs to be fixed. Another issue is the fact when you try to use the masking tool to take out unwanted areas, it is really not the easiest thing to use. Since there are really no instructions on how to use this tool, you have use trial and error. Sometime you get the results you want and many times you don't. One suggestion would be to employ a system similar to Microsoft Word's program where you use lines and various shapes by snapping lines. Also, there needs to be a help button with a few answers on how to use some of the tools and buttons. These a few of the most frustrating problems I've seen. I hope this helps. I do love the game, just wish there were less frustrating moments. Would love yo hear your response. Thank you.

It’s nearly the dream design app...but they overlooked some tiny but SEVERELY ANNOYING technical flaws that impure gameplay. There is a pop up button when an item is selected recommending similar items & you cannot make it go away. I have an iPhone 8 & on my phone that button covers the perspective slider so I cannot ever use that function. It limits my selection of items to next to nothing because I cannot properly place them in the room. Also, don’t think about using anything white, silver, or pale. The app cannot tell the difference between the item and the background & automatically deletes major parts of it (or won’t delete an obscure shape of part of the background). I’ve spent hours trying to clean up images to make them look halfway decent & not obstruct the other items in the room, but eventually came to the conclusion that the majority of them are just not worth trying. Scaling could also be improved, many of the rugs cannot be enlarged to fit the entire room (at least not sideways the way I’ve had to position them because of the perspective slider) & several of the final touches won’t scale down enough to fit on the tables & look natural. Lastly, while I do enjoy the ability to design outside of the challenge & the free materials (they are the highlights of the game), like any interior design game I find the quantity of challenges lacking. Especially the more advanced ones with requirements.
