Houzz

Why this is awesome: Houzz is the best source for interior design inspiration that I've seen and it was a big help when we moved into our new place. You can search great looking images by keyword, room or style. Save the images to folders for your reference.


Pinterest

Why this is great for decorators: I'm sure you all have heard of Pinterest by now and the app makes finding inspiration on the go super easy. While you're there, make sure to share a killer picture of your City Print and make your followers jealous! Repin away, and get the word out.

 

Color Snap

Why this is awesome: Color Snap allows you to sample colors from any image and find matching paint colors. Color Snap matches to Sherwin-Williams paints, but there also a version for Behr and Benjamin Moore paints (but I don't think the apps are as good). We use this app when pulling color schemes out of photos to match customer's interiors.

 

 
Photo Measures Light

This app let's you take a picture of your interiors and draw the measurements. You'll always have your room dimensions in your pocket.

 
SnapShop

Why this is awesome: This app helps people like me who have difficulty envisioning how furniture will look in your room. Drag and drop furniture from popular stores into camera captures of you room. Scroll through furniture options and colors to make buying decisions without the worry of what it will actually look like in your space.  

 
App of the Week

DinnerTime

This app is geared toward managing smartphone-obsessed kids' online time, letting parents remotely set limitations or impose blackouts on their kids' phones and tablets from their own devices or send them reminders to do their homework, go to bed or come to the table for dinner. Will kids hate it? Almost definitely. But this one's pretty much guaranteed to be a hit with anyone who finds themselves saying "Will you please put that down?" about a thousand times a day. (Free on iTunes or Google Play)
