Android is undoubtedly a phenomenon that grows exponentially from one day to another and getting to be more and more present in our lives. Thus, when it comes to operating systems for mobile devices, there are impressive figures showing that Google has really hit with. I wonder how the world would look today without Android? Google’s OS, Android, is increasingly appreciated by global owners of mobile phones. Some main reasons why there are now a lot of Android users is the large number of free and modest cost applications that can be downloaded from the marketplace, and because Android has also its place on affordable devices, not just high-end smartphones.
Given the high number of applications currently available in Google Play, over 450,000, it’s often quite hard to find exactly what you want at a particular time. So, today I’ve made a short list with some useful Android apps designed to support and inspire architects and design professionals, but also everyone who wants to decorate their home, but don’t like to walk through stores in searching for chairs, curtains, kitchen furniture and so on. Free or not, these interior design applications are very interesting and fully functional, containing lot of beautiful photos with various brilliant ideas, tips, suggestions for your home improvement. They are several types of Android apps for interior design depending on what you need: applications which include only gorgeous pictures’ collections like an album without too many functions, color suggestion and color management tools, measurement and pricing tools, applications based on tones of video lessons, or applications packed with both provoking interior design photos and information on how to actually do the projects. Note that some of them only display adds.
