Palette Home is a new app developed by Palette CAD AG, the number 1 in planning 3D interior design. It was created to let you, the user design any kind of room. Redesign your bathroom in just a few minutes or let your imagination run wild when reorganizing your living room. Would you like to fulfill a long-term wish of owning a cosy stove? Palette Home is the ideal app for you. The virtual design app Palette Home leads the user intuitively through all the stages of the planning process from start to finish. This begins with the definition of your rooms cubic measures and continues with the placement of doors, windows and if desired even front wall installations and pitched roofs. The clearly organised objects are readily available and can be dragged into the plan and positioned easily and quickly. The objects can also align themselves to the walls automatically. At any time you can switch into 3D mode and freely move about and examine your room. You can now explore your room in real time while accompanied by our company cat, - the “Palette-cat”. The immersive feel and quality of the graphics are impressive. You can also save your plan and import it into our PC program Palette CAD and from there to our other apps Palette MOVE and Palette PLAY.

Craftsmen in the construction industry spend a lot of time preparing individual offers. In particular, the fact that the measurement of the object and the preparation of the offer take place at different locations means that a great deal of time is required for the preparation of meaningful sketches on site and the subsequent transfer into a professional measurement. With MasterPlan, a sufficiently good survey of an object can be created easily without additional equipment, which offers a decisive time advantage. Since MasterPlan also enables the automated creation and sending of an initial cost estimate to the customer directly on site, there is a real added value for the target group (e.g. painters, floor layers, installers, etc.). Get MasterPlan Pro and enjoy the following benefits: - Unlimited number of materials - Unlimited number of projects - Unlimited number of rooms - Unlimited number of additional areas - Cost estimate via email - Cloud sync between your devices - No ads Please review our Terms of Use (https://www.masterplan.app/6-2-terms-of-use) and Privacy Statement (https://www.masterplan.app/7-2-privacy-statement) for further information.
