Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Itching to create a new look for your home? From fashionably retro to romantically elegant, every design style is well represented in House Beautiful, with fabric choices and color changes available at the click of a button. Whether it's kitchens or home offices that strike your fancy, the walk-through room tours and drag-and-drop ease will make you wish all redecorating work were this fun and simple.

The colours translate beautifully from the well-known magazine to computer disc, but the graphics can be on the simple side. There's enough detail to get a clear picture on your decisions, but the software falls short of satisfying those looking for photorealism.

The furniture represented does a good job of showcasing popular styles, but remember: this is from the pages of a glossy magazine--that perfect couch is likely to be terribly expensive. With quick Web links to the furniture makers and upholsterers, this program does an excellent job of combining at-home design with at-home shopping. There's also several cute little ways of personalizing your virtual rooms: light a fire in the fireplace, open a window, even listen to the stereo. Another outstanding feature lies in the architectural details; add them to the virtual room once you've finished choosing the furnishings.

For anyone who loves the fun of decorating without the physical labour of shoving the couch, or has ever wanted to play "editor for the day" of a glossy home magazine, House Beautiful is a most entertaining way to spend a weekend. --Jill Lightner

When I started this package, I was so excited and impressed by the lovely graphics it had in the intro. but when I started doing my floor plan, I found out after a few hours of still being on the same room plan, that it was very inflexible. One little example is the fact that all doors open to only one side, so what do we do if our door is opening the other side ? We cant change that in here and hence the plan will not be realistic.

I am very good with computers and installing software but this programe got the better of me! I have spent hours and hours just trying to figure out how it works. I contacted the support team and they have been no help. It does not come with any type of book or booklet. Buy this software at your own risk!

I have used this software for 3 years and have designed my whole house using it. At first I found it difficult to get to grips with, but I persevered, although it took two weeks of trial and error, but I have won. Other review writers state it has no instructions. There are instructions,under '3D I.D. Help'. You do have to have a certain amount of creativity to manipulate the items to make them into other things, eg. large cabinet reduced to make an antiques style jewellery box or putting a wood pattern on furniture or doors. The doors can be swivelled round so that the handle is on the other side. I think this is a great software package to use, although I agree the support team have no understand of using it. Maybe they should employ me.
