Mobile Design Assistants: Top Picks for Interior Design Apps

Hello Fabulistas! Keeping up with all the new and exciting apps is impossible. So when one catches my eye, I take note. I can't cover all of the wonderful go-to interior design apps out there, but here's a sampling of ones that I—and my design colleagues—swear by. Houzz Interior Design Ideas The website Houzz is full of elegant interior design photos, idea books, and shoppable products. So it's no surprise that they have an amazing mobile app that provides offline (saved) photos. What a resource! Available on iOS and Android. Free.
