Choose the house shape
Pick from 43 outlines, type a width and depth, or draw your own shape.
Planner 5D alternative
Planner 5D is great for decorating rooms. If you want to plan a whole house instead, Floorra starts from your rooms and your plot: its AI architect lays out the house, checks every room, and shows it in 2D and 3D. Free in your browser, with free PDF and DXF downloads.

Why people look for an alternative
Planner 5D is one of the best-known home design apps. It shines at decorating: a very large furniture catalogue, apps for phone, tablet and desktop, and realistic renders. Many of its advanced features, such as AI design tools, high-quality renders and CAD export, are on its paid plans.
Floorra is built for an earlier question: what house do I need? You list the rooms, choose or draw the outline, and the AI architect designs the layout the way an architect would: zones, entrance, garage, hallways, and a check on every room. You get three designs to compare, each in 2D and 3D.
If you mainly want to furnish and render an existing room, Planner 5D may suit you better. If you want to plan a new house from a room list, Floorra is the faster route, and it is free.
Switching is quick
Nothing to install and nothing to import. Start fresh in a minute.
Pick from 43 outlines, type a width and depth, or draw your own shape.
Add rooms from 32 types or apply a template such as the three-bedroom family home.
Get three complete layouts that meet your wish, like "office next to the living room".
Edit in 2D and 3D, add doors, windows, materials and furniture, and download PDF or DXF.
What Floorra does differently
The parts of a home design tool that matter before you decorate.
Designs the whole layout from your outline and rooms, like an architect's first sketch, and explains what it did.
Every plan is checked: rooms reachable, bedroom windows, sensible sizes, no leftover floor.
32 furnished room types in three sizes, custom sizes by dragging walls, and a meter that shows what fits.
43 outlines labelled with how many bedrooms they hold, or your own drawn shape.
PDF drawing sets, DXF for CAD, GLB 3D models and IFC for BIM, at no cost.
Runs in the browser on any computer, with your projects saved to your dashboard.
