Better Homes and Gardens Home Designer Deluxe is so easy and simple to use that designing your own dream home can become a reality. Home Designer Deluxe is from Chief Architect, the creators of professional architectural software. 

Home Designer Deluxe is very easy to use even if you have not used this kind of software before. The package comes with a simple and easy to use tutorial and manual to help you learn the program screens and what you need to do to start on your own home design. You can use the tutorial in the manual or you can use the accompanying CD's to take you through step by step in building your home design or just designing a blue print for a remodeling project or room addition.

The CD tutorial will show you all the various screens and tools within the program and help you understand your way through all the steps. The guide will take you chapter by chapter through building your walls and foundation as well as adding floors and a roof onto your house. It will help you to add interior walls, change the wall coverings or colors, floor and ceiling materials and adding doors and windows.

Home Designer Deluxe helps you add furniture, fixtures and almost everything else you could place into your home, even pets. This program comes with everything including the kitchen sink, actually over a dozen of them. The library contains not only building materials but furniture, fixtures, appliances and more. You can even download more free content from the Chief Architect website for updated and additional content.

There are libraries of files that have basic floor, wall, and other surface materials and coverings to create your own unique style and atmosphere. Stone, tile, wallpaper, varying wood types and many more types of materials are available for you to choose from for changing any surface of any part of your house.
