It’s time to pick your Milwaukee favorites for the year!
Free to play with no subscription needed, Redecor helps users home in on their personal decor style through design challenges in which they compete with other players. For example, players may choose a bedroom’s combinations of colors, textures and materials.
What sets this app apart is that it was created by architects and interior designers, with many of its creators in Finland, long a global design capital. “Every design challenge in the game is a realistic 3D model. It’s as realistic and authentic as possible,” says Gal.
For the user, it’s a low-investment, high-rewards activity. “You can test different styles without committing,” Gal says. “You can also see what other people did and maybe get inspiration.”
