Quickstart

House Designer runs in your browser — no download, no account. Open app.buildmy.house and follow three steps.

01 / PLAN

Draw the plan

Pick Wall in the toolbar and click to lay out your walls. Double-click to finish a run; press Esc to stop.

02 / FURNISH

Arrange the furniture

Open Furniture, click a piece in the catalog, then click the plan to place it.

03 / WALK

Walk through it in 3D

Switch the view to 3D — or leave it on Split to see plan and 3D side by side.

Toolbar tools

Select V
Click a wall, room, or furniture item to select it and edit its properties in the side panel.
Wall W
Draw walls on the plan. Measurements stay editable as you go.
Dim

Text
The text tool: add a text label to the plan.
Furniture F
Opens the furniture catalog. Pick a piece, then click the plan to place it. Press Esc to cancel placing.

Undo and Redo sit next to the tools (Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y). The Split, Plan and 3D buttons switch the view.
