Underwhelming and Disappointing
I ended up deleting the app. It’s impossible to play this and have fun without spending money. My main two complaints with this game are:
1) the limited options available are usually bad/tacky. ie) The “client“ says they want geometric pillows and the rest of the Decor in the room revolves around this request. The three patterns you will have to choose from are often terrible. Any other aspects of the room such as wallpaper that could possibly look halfway decent with these pillows which are atrocities are “locked“. Guess what, you basically have to spend money to unlock all the things that look nice.
2) The people who are voting on your room compared to other peoples rooms either have horrible taste or no clue about what specific decorative styles are supposed to be like. ie) I participated in a challenge which was supposed to be decorating a shabby chic bedroom. Rooms are ranked from 1st to 10th Place. The first top five rooms all had a bunch of black decorative items in the room. Nowhere in shabby chic Decor does the color black fit in. Another challenge was to decorate a reading nook in a vintage style. One of the top three winners had a giant mural wall covered in text that said “rules are made to be broken”....😒😒😒
NOT. Vintage.
Sooo basically the game is ridiculous ands waste of time with dentist office/Home Goods art along with a large amount of other terrible decorative choicesShow lessXpolo11
Rating System Is Awful
The designing process was fun but I found the rating system was rather weird and funky. So I found out today from their responses to other comments that the ratings are based on votes from other users AS WELL AS WHO SPENT THE MOST MONEY ON THE DESIGN. That would explain why there are sometimes weaker designs got higher places. They never told you money is part of the equation and I thought it was common sense for a designer to be budget conscious. I disagree with more money spent = better design but if that’s the rule at least make users aware of it so they can factor it when they design and when they try to make sense of their rankings.
The voting part is also a bit concerning. They often pair two very different styles of design and ask you to pick the best, and most of times it would just come down to personal taste. Why bother having all the instructions on bold design or modern style when voters don’t even read the instructions and just choose whatever is the most pleasing to their eyes and personal taste.
The fun part of playing a game is to learn the rules and strategize to win. But when the whole rating system has nothing to do with the rules they told you (ie to create a good design that suits the client) it just takes out much of the fun.Show lessusr fdbck
Bug takes away prizes
I’ve contacted support about this once already and been completely unsatisfied with the response.
The bug is still there. I’ve had other designs disappear when it comes time to receive my rewards, and it’s becoming way more than annoying. Today, I’m actually getting close to being infuriated. Today, one of my “original” (not a redesign) designs disappeared. When I opened the app, it told me that the voting for “Lakeside Treasure” was complete, and I was excited, because my first design was ahead in the voting when I checked an hour or so ago. My heart sank when I saw that - AGAIN - only one of my designs was showing in the “completed” tab, and it was my redesign, which performed poorly. I clicked over to look at my profile, as you suggested, and it shows the design - which did in fact, come in first. However, since I didn’t get to actually OPEN the winning design, I did not receive the XP, the gold, the star tokens, or the “big box of decor items.” THIS IS NOT OK. That XP, in-game currency and the decor item unlocks are what keep the game going.
I’m a fairly new player, but I have (unusually for me) already spent $15 in real money on playing this game. I had intended on spending more, asking my husband for money to spend on Redecor as part of my Christmas gift. If you all do not fix this bug and give me the in-game rewards I have earned, I will not be spending any more money with your company, as it would just be throwing good money after bad.Show lessToneyLady

Hi, and thank you for the feedback! The issue is now fixed, the game should be back to normal and you can claim all remaining unclaimed rewards from your profile page if needed. The player is required to update the game manually if the device hasn't done that automatically yet. Please go to the Apple Store, check the tab "Updates" and update Redecor there. If you face any problems or you have further concerns, please contact us again so we can investigate and give you a refund if needed! We're super sorry for the inconvenience and the confusion the glitch caused. We'd like to thank you for your great patience and understanding! :)Great Game...Results Take Too Long Though.
I’m obsessed with this game! It’s a stress reliever. I do agree with someone who said results take too long. A full day is too long to wait. As far as the voting, you win some and you lose some. And that is okay. Beauty is subjective. You can’t help that. No one should feel entitled to a top ranking. With color, you have to be careful. Pops of color are nice but don’t make it look like a rainbow exploded on your design.
Think about your home. Do you really have red walls and orange countertops? You should follow the prompt and try to stand out, of course, but within reason. Two main colors with an accent color always works. If you want to go crazy, try going crazy with texture but not colors that don’t complement each other. I am by no means an interior designer expert but I have seen some tacky designs that had no sense of direction.
Anyway...maybe to make people feel better about the voting...there should be more one-on-one duels. Or maybe it all should just change to one-on-one duels because they only take 2 hours to calculate. This solves both the “results take too long” issue and people questioning how votes are tallied in. Nonetheless, I do think that we should only be competing with and voting for people within one exclusive group. Other than that, people like what they like. *shrugs* Also...yes apps cost money. How do you think these people pay their bills? 🤔😂😂😂Show lesslyriclover93

We can't wait to introduce all the upcoming cool features – hopefully, you'll find joy decorating with us in the future! :)Love this app!! But...
I don’t remember how I came across this app.. but I’m glad I did! I am by no means an “interior designer”, actually far from- but it’s still fun!! It’s actually quite addicting from my experience. I play everyday because it’s exciting. I’m so invested in seeing what people rate my designs after I submit them. I do wish they had more challenges. I know you can get more with the season pass but I’m certainly not spending money on a game... just a personal thing. If I had any constructive criticism is for them it would be to add more challenges for the people who are addicted- lol. Also, I’m on level 60 (I think) and I still don’t have most decor items unlocked which is annoying. I understand it keeps people playing so that they can unlock it but it takes so long!! I’ve been playing steady for a couple months and still haven’t unlocked them- I’d just like more options!
Also, I wish there were other ways to earn coins so I can unlock packages rather than buying them. It takes such a long time to get enough to get a package. I do redesigns on each challenge & it still takes forever. But I suppose people who are pros and win first place can gain access to anything on the game haha. Although, I’ve seen a lot of really good designs get last place & some really poor designs get first. I guess that’s a downside of having a wide selection of people voting on a design!Show lessItsbribri
Voting makes no sense
I love this game is really fun and I’ve played everyday since I downloaded it. I don’t mind paying for things in a game so I’ve bought some stars and gold. If you want some of the nicer items you will end up buying stars, and some of the challenges have a group of items that are all locked. But I have gotten a 1st with only the free unlocks. The game really is worth paying for, it is so well designed and way better than the other decor games, and they seem to add new items pretty regularly. The seasons are fun so you can win special items. Voting is fun to see all the other designers. I’m giving it 4 stars though because of the voting it is really unclear. The ranks on the challenges must have some other factors and I don’t think the voting is against the group you are in which is confusing. If it has something to do with the colors on the items it would be great to explain what the colors even mean, it isn’t one faq. They don’t go in the order of the unlocks, so maybe it just puts you in another level of voting. The designs in my groups have gotten better over time which is fun. But some of the wins have garish designs, I guess the voters just make weird choices, how can you vote up a design for an outside deck with carpet? I think the voters just rush through the voting for the reward without considering all the factors. I really just want to know what the item colors mean it should be in the faq.Show lesskkuchin

Hi there, and thanks for the nice feedback! We're glad to hear that you enjoy decorating with us. Regarding your question about item colors, different colors stand for the rarity of the items. The ones in blue are the most common. Red & Purple items are rare items. :) If you have any questions or face any technical problems, our support staff is happy to help you! Just send us an email via the app, and you'll get a reply within 48 hours. There're still lots of improvements and new features coming up, so stay tuned for more. :) We'd like to wish you a lovely day and lots of creative inspiration!Best Interior Design Game On The Market, but Could Use Some Adjustments
Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love this game. The design portion is very realistic, there are so many options to choose from, and you don’t have to go through a bunch of mini games or a ton of ads to play the game. That’s why I gave it 5 stars. It is seriously the best interior design gaming app on the market. However, I would like to suggest some adjustments to the game. One being that it would be nice to be able to do multiple redesigns, maybe 3-5 instead of just one. Maybe even with a choice not to have them judged by the other players? Like just redesigns for fun. And secondly, I get that there has to be some time restraints on the challenges, however I have missed several by just an hour. It’d be nice to be able to access all challenges that were given within 24 hours. I understand they take time to create, and having a background in 3D design myself I know that applying all the different possible textiles and shadings and fixing any bugs is very time consuming, however I feel like the room designs would feel more worth their making if they were available to design for a longer period of time. Overall, this app is great and I don’t see myself quitting or deleting the app any time soon. It’s really amazing.Show lessSJarrett13
Lots of fun
I really enjoy this game! The prompts are always interesting and while I agree that more challenges a day would be great, I also understand it probably takes a lot of time to put those together. Also, all that between time allows me to do more voting and get more “money” so that I can actually “buy” items when I do decorate. The only reason I’m not giving this five stars is the rating system. At the beginning of each challenge there’s a mini prompt where you’re told what the “buyer” wants....but I’ve found people can win first place even if they’ve completely disregarded the prompts. I get it might be more of a guideline, but all games grow boring eventually if there aren’t rules that are followed. Trying to create the best room off those prompts is the real challenge, yet it ends up not mattering. I think an easy fix to this would just be a quick reminder of what the prompt was to people before they vote. Like just a quick pop up that refreshes “they wanted a gothic room with wood flooring etc etc”. Everyone’s tastes are different so the voting will still be fair and up in the air, BUT there’s a clear perimeter voters are being asked to take into account. It gets frustrating seeing rooms that didn’t follow the prompt even a little bit beating out ones that clearly did, even when it’s not mine.Show lessC.L Tempest
Free to play, but pay to win.
90% seems to be locked unless you are willing to pay real money. And it seems like how much you spend decorating counts to your score and what rank you get, so people who are willing to spend real money always will have an advantage. Also don’t like that you get a statement with what the client is looking for but people will win even if they ignore it. (I.e- “I want a colourful screensaver” but all top 5 might have a black and white photo that is just worth more.) think the cash material is fairly well priced, but gold and the star coins are hard to earn. Overall, I do enjoy aspects of it. I also wish it was clearer how the ratings work. You get a rating from 1-5 star, but your aren’t voting for others that way. You are choosing between two. So how is the star rating being calculated? Are the two paired together always paired together? In which case one that is okay paired against one that is bad, might win over a good one paired with an equally good one. I also wish there were more challenges.
Alternatively, just adding a section where you can use everything and nothing is locked as like a gallery option/portfolio. It’s not a competition and there are no prizes, but other people can view and like things on the page. And it’s something to do while waiting for a new competition to start and you can really see what is available.Show lessSamanthie
Decor Delight
I definitely enjoy this app immensely. I am not in anyway inclined to be a great decorator but there was some thing about it that attracted me to want to try. My first entry I won first place. Hooked! I am now on there every day whether it is to vote for other peoples designs or to create some of my own. I love the game and I love decorating which I didn’t know I did until I started playing. So far I’ve entered I think nine and placed in the top 10 every single time. The only thing I don’t like is that much of the decoration is in a purchased only. I’m not looking to spend money. They give you so much cash that you basically are pretty good for quite a while plus you earn money for decorating, winning, and just for signing up for the game. What upsets me I guess is that I can’t use 75% of the items that I would like to use becauseI have to unlock it with these star coins they give you. If I can only earn three stars per day or even per entry, how am I supposed to have enough to buy a set of pillows or a set of pretty carpets? Because these things take 2000*coins and I got about 27. I still think it’s worth playing but I’m not gonna spend a dime on the game. I just refuse. If I earn some thing from within the game that allows me to in app purchase, I will absolutely purchase but I’m not spending my money out of my bank account or on a credit card for a game. Not doing it. The game is great though so I would suggest trying it...it’s a lot of fun.Show lessVintage Melon
