Easy as 1, 2, 3
MyVirtualHome uses an easy "drag and drop" system that will see you creating the home of your dreams within minutes. Select from pre-furnished rooms, drop them into the scene and snap them together to build a home. Simply select and drag a wall to resize a room while doors and windows can be fitted automatically.
Browse the product catalogue, click to select and click to place your selections, what could be simpler?
Not sure about something you have placed? Simply click to select it and then cycle through alternatives which are automatically placed into the scene
Import real floorplans to build from
If you have a specific home in mind, simply load a photograph of the floorplan onto your computer and MyVirtualHome can place the image as a guide for you to build from.
Temporarily hide the floor and furniture and you can easily align all walls with the plan, and place doors and windows exactly where they need to be.
Drag & Drop
Most home design packages ask you to draw each and every wall. With MyVirtualHome you build with rooms, simply clicking to place them and when you drag a room against another they 'snap' together like blocks. By continuing this process you can build a home to plan in minutes.
The rooms are pre-furnished for easy recognition and to give an instant sense of scale. When you are happy with the layout of your home you can add, remove or modify each and every piece of furniture in the rooms as quickly and easily as placing the rooms in the first place.
Search
Many users like to browse through our ever-growing product catalogue, locating just the right addition to their home. Others prefer to use the Search option, where a single key-word can return:
- products which are associated with that keyword
- one-click links to the category which holds that product
- the manufacturer of that product
- links to local business which sell the product, install the product and service the product
Use Real Products
Most home design and decoration packages provide a nice catalogue of fixtures and furnishings that can be placed into your home. Another place where MyVirtualHome is different to every other package is that we feature an ever growing catalogue of real products.
Don't just find a TV that looks to be about the same size as your own. Instead browse the manufacturer catalogues including brand names such as :Sony, Panasonic and JVC. Place an exact copy of your TV, built to the manufacturers specifications and approved by the manufacturer for use in MyVirtualHome.
Don't just paint the walls “yellow”. Instead browse the Wattyl® and Resene catalogues and select from thousands of paints available at an outlet near you.

There is, quite simply, no other 3D home design and decoration package that looks as good as MyVirtualHome.

Redecorating your Home?
A colour swatch or a small test patch cannot show you what an entire room or feature-wall will look like with a fresh coat of paint.
What does it look like with the carpet?
What will it look like when we put the new tiles in?
What about the green?
With MyVirtualHome you can answer all of these questions and proceed with confidence.
Plan, design and build both indoors and outdoors
MyVirtualHome allows you to take your planning and designs outside the home as well with an ever-growing catalogue of real plants and outdoor furnishings.

Remove the guess work, see it first!
With MyVirtualHome you can plan, build and revise designs for your new kitchen using exact replicas of the real-world products. Explore a range of new designs and fit-outs before you commit yourself, your money and your home.
