Another free program for interior planning is called "Stolplit". Like Sweet Home 3D, it is available both inoffline, and in the online version. But if Sweet Home 3D simply opens in the browser window, Stolplit should be installed as an add-on for the browser, just like the application from IKEA. Browsers Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome are supported.

The program allows you to create a plan for the room, andAlso choose from the template standard layout of standard apartments. In the created room, you can select covers, choose and arrange furniture, appliances, accessories. As in the program from IKEA, furniture is selected from the catalog of the store that provided the application. The assortment is small, but it is quite realistic to get a general idea of ​​the result in 3D format. The main drawback of the program - a limited choice of furniture and accessories and poor graphics quality.

There are other programs for interior planning, for example, Morderline Furniture and Roomle (both in English, both browser - foruse online). Of course, all of the above software does not reach professional design programs, but after all, most users do not need extensive functionality.
