Since the dawn of smartphones, which is more than a decade now (Jesus, are we old or what?), the human race has invented more than 2.1 million apps!

Which is, without a doubt, an astonishing number! And it makes a lot of sense though, because apps vastly improve our quality of life and our ability to access information at any place and time.

This digital growth has impacted the interior design industry big time, from the E-design industry which has emerged as a rapidly growing industry in the past decade to some magical apps that allow you to DIY that Insta-worthy space.

That’s why we did some research, in order to find the best free home decor apps.

We tested them all and created a list of the top 4 finalists.
