Looking for a change? Save yourself the time and manpower of moving around furniture by letting Floorplanner.com do the planning beforehand. After signing up for a free account, Floorplanner allows you to virtually set up 2-D and 3-D rooms by dragging and dropping walls, windows, fireplaces and electrical outlets, and choosing from hundreds of pieces of furniture to emulate the room you’re arranging in real life. You can input room dimensions to determine how much walking room and wall space will be available with various furniture arrangements, and you can arrange up to five different rooms and three different floors with each account.
