For many people, the December holiday is the time to take home improvements and renovations into their own hands.
To help you get your home ready for 2019, try these five innovative renovation apps.
1. TapPainter
Ever wondered what an accent wall would look like in that bold colour that you’ve had in mind for months? Wonder no more! TapPainter helps you to choose the perfect paint colour for any room by uploading a picture of the room in question, and choosing from complete colour decks by famous paint brands. The app’s specially-designed algorithms take the wall edges, lighting distribution and shadows into account, giving you a realistic, true-to-life and colour-accurate idea of what a particular wall will look like once it has been painted a particular colour. TapPainter is available on iOS.
2. Snapguide
Whatever the task is that you want to undertake this December, Snapguide has a how-to instruction guide to make it happen. Crowd-sourced guides on everything from gardening, to automotive, and arts and crafts will make it easy to do everything yourself. Get Snapguide for iOS devices.
