I’m getting new flooring and wish I could picture it ahead of time.. is there an easy app to take picture of my living room and view with different color flooring?

    Some flooring companies permit you to upload your room photo then try various floors.

    Thank you for asking this! I was wondering the same thing less than 5 minutes before coming across this question in my daily Hometalk email. We are buying a new house and this will come in handy when deciding on new flooring

    Good answers thus far. Also, you might want to get a few pieces of the one you decide upon to learn how it sounds or "feels" underfoot. Some of the manufactured flooring sounds hollow or can make a weird sound underfoot after installed. Before I'd make a final decision I'd insist on being able to walk on a floor like you've chosen.

    Bonnie...is that a picture of YOUR room? If so, what is the name of the paint color? Please and Thank You!

    I wouldn't cover those wood floors, pay and have them professionally refinished (that's what we did and now I love them) also you can buy such beautiful area rugs...a bit more money but will last a lifetime.....and they aren't a junk product

    Yes, there are such apps, but they are mostly only on iOS. I haven't seen one for Android, but if you have an iPhone, I suggest you try ViewHouseMy. The developer tried to make it easy to use and design. I found Lemiapps for my business from the same developer. This is exactly the kind of app you need in a small business. They are very useful and helpful.
