Own your home makeover

Get inspired and start decorating with these apps.

Japanese minimalism, Nordic modern, urban chic – pinning inspiration photos of our dream home aesthetics is a pastime in and of itself. But when it comes to actually transforming the space we live in, it can be hard to know where to start.

Whether you’re looking to give your home a major overhaul, or just add a few styling touches, these apps will help put your home improvement plans into action.

Home in on your perfect style

For rookie home decorators, one of the biggest challenges is narrowing down options. New hobbies, career and additions to the family can all change the way you utilise the space you have, and if you get overexcited, you might end up adding too many clashing elements to your design.

Before you start redecorating, it’s important to consider what fits your lifestyle and living situation, and 100 Interior Design is filled to the brim with references that works for Asian households. Take your time browsing through the many designs showcased in this app for new ideas, or find a style that suits you based on your situation and budget.

Search for designs by preferred style, budget and floor space, then click on them to see which design company they come from.

Add a colour (or 10)

Choosing the right colours can give your home designs an entirely new mood, and there’s no better expert than Pantone to help you master the rainbow.

Pantone Studio’s colour guides give you a crash course in colour theory. When you open the app, go to Color to find a shade that you like, and you’ll be able to see its complementary and analogous colours under Harmonies. Depending on your personal style, you can keep things tonal by placing similarly coloured items together, or inject some drama with the clever use of contrast.

Play up the neutrals or go wild in technicolour.

Found a photo that screams “decor goals”? Send it to the app, and it will recognise the CMYK, RGB and Pantone data in the photo for you – all the more convenient for you to recreate the same ambience in your own home.
