Useful Things: Design with Ease

If you love books, you've got to have somewhere to keep them. Bookcases are pretty, pretty things to add to any home, office, or location you deem in need of a literature boost. Floorplanner can help you plan a room's layout before you start moving all that furniture.

Floorplanner allows you to input the dimensions of your room and fill it in with furniture. The website provides standard sized furniture options which may be adjusted to suit your needs. The website even lets you put in doors, windows, and other architectural features of your room to help you see how your future room will look. Nothing stinks more than moving a couch and then realizing the door swings out further than you expected.

For the more advanced user, Floorplanner lets you design a whole house complete with landscape features.

The basic website is free but you will need to create a user account. A website demo can be found here.
