Buzzmove has compiled a list of our top 5 mobile/tablet applications for use around the house; all designed to make life much easier and quicker. We’d love to hear about some of your favourites that aren’t on here, so please leave your comments below!

Homestyler

Homestyler is the perfect app for visualising what a room could look like in 3D with furniture and fittings you may have considered buying. Visually seeing how a new item would look in a room can save you both time and money, as opposed to going back and forth to buy and return items. You can even flick through professional portfolios for inspiration if your creative juices aren’t flowing!
