Before moving into a UAE rental, Homestyler Basic can help you draw the rooms to measure and try furniture positions without a paid plan. Pro becomes useful for regular high-resolution images, your own models, or multi-floor designs. Master is for a heavier 4K and video workload. Start with the furniture you already own and accurate measurements of the new apartment.

Draw the rental as it is

Measure the new apartment before choosing what to move. Mark doors, windows, and fixed kitchen cabinets, then add the dimensions of your sofa, table, and appliances. Try a second furniture arrangement before deciding that you need a replacement piece; the home-design hub keeps the planning guides together.

Kitchen fit deserves a separate pass. Check refrigerator width and door swing using the refrigerator guide. Measure the dishwasher niche and space for its open door, then the washing-machine space including hoses and connections. Add the ventilation gaps required by each appliance’s manual.

Keep fixed services in their real positions. A different location on screen is a proposal to discuss with the landlord and installer, not permission to move plumbing. Also measure the delivery route: fitting the furniture in a room does not mean it will pass through the entrance.

What you can do in Basic

Homestyler is a cloud-based three-dimensional (3D) floor planner in the browser. Basic includes unlimited projects, unlimited 1K rendered images, and at least 100,000 free models and materials. It also includes three free roof styles. Here, rendering means generating a finished image from the scene you have arranged; 1K, 2K, and 4K are image-resolution tiers.

For a rental move, unlimited projects let you keep separate versions for different apartments or furniture arrangements. Basic and a tape measure may settle the decision without any subscription. If you want a 4K image in Basic, you buy it separately per render. Some render types can also use Homestyler coins earned through activity.

Arabic pages are available on the Homestyler website, but Arabic is absent from the design tool’s 13-language menu. English is one option; try the free workspace first if you need to judge how comfortable the menus feel.

When Pro earns its place in the project

Pro includes 75 renders each at 2K and 4K per month, unlimited speed previews, and watermark removal. You can upload up to 300 of your own textures and 300 models, useful for representing finishes and furniture beyond the free library.

It also adds custom lighting and environments, multi-floor designs, parametric stairs and roofs whose geometry you can adjust, and interior modeling tools. Exports include a colored floor plan, a bill of materials (BOM), and construction drawings. Some artificial intelligence (AI) credits are included each month.

Uploading your own models in Pro can help when generic furniture shapes do not represent pieces you already own. The upload allowance alone is not a reason to subscribe if simple measured shapes will answer the fit question.

Master is for a heavier rendering workload

Master includes everything in Pro, unlimited 4K image renders, and space for up to 500 of your own textures and 500 models. It increases the video and panorama rendering quotas and includes more AI credits. The separate limit of 300 renders per account per day still matters when scheduling a large batch.

Check billing before starting a paid period

The plans page shows prices, with billing for your region confirmed at checkout; payment methods depend on region. Names can appear as Pro+ and Master+ in some regions, so compare the features and billing period for the plan you select.

Paid plans renew automatically. Cancel auto-renew in My Subscription to stop the next renewal; access continues until the end of the paid period. Membership fees are generally non-refundable. A first-time auto-renew discount differs from the standard renewal price, so use the renewal amount when budgeting. Prices include tax and can change at renewal.

Frequently asked questions

Is Homestyler useful for a rented apartment?

Basic can help compare furniture positions within the existing room. Keep fixed cabinets and services in the drawing, and discuss any proposed changes with the landlord before arranging work.

Can I use my own furniture models in Homestyler?

Pro allows up to 300 uploaded models and 300 textures. Master raises each allowance to 500; measured shapes may be sufficient if you only need to compare footprints.

Does a room plan show whether furniture fits through the door?

You still need to measure the entrance and delivery route separately. A furniture footprint inside the room does not account for every turn on the way in.
