"Design My Room" - Online Interior Decorating
Wednesday August 13, 2008
I wasn't expecting much when I clicked on a link to go to "Design My Room." I figured it'd have a few pieces of furniture for me to place and some artwork. What I found was much better than I could have hoped. Kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, offices, kids rooms, garages, you name it, you can probably design it. The online tool has furniture, paint, flooring, and decor items, designed after real items you can buy online.
"Design My Room" is being promoted as a way to start redecorating your rooms before spending any cash. I think it's fun just to play around with different styles. The learning curve is minimal. Flooring, countertops, and the ceiling are easy to place. Getting a fridge to fit perfectly into a space can be tricky.

would look if i had the beautiful
decor and furniture i have seen on this site

THANKS I DESIGNED MY WHOLE HOUSE WITH THIS!!
This game is crap it aint even realistic!
This game dunt even work! It says if it dunt do anything in 5mins then contact the website. This game is garbage!
I hate this game in fact i think it belongs in the garbage! I’m with lucie on this one. It’s crap!
Thanks for this.. it’s really awesome;)
THIS GAME DOSE NOT WORK AT ALL!!! DO NOT TRY IT!!!!
This is really realistic but has some cons:
- when you put mirrors they dont show up completly, or when you add some beds, ext the whole thing doesn’t always show up. Usual happens with silver/black colors.
-The furnature only moves certain ways, so it doesnt look like it would in real life if you placed the furniture.
-Sometimes takes a while to apply paint, floors or celeings.
- Hard to find what your looking for when looking for furniture, ext.
Thanks a lot. its a very good idea and it was awsome.Its great and I really loved it.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This website WAS totally awesome! I actually didn’t find out about it from this website, I found it on google. But, some Armstrong flooring company took that website, Design my Room doesn’t even exist anymore!!! I’ve been searching on google, but there is absolutely NOTHING that could compare to Design My Room.
I want the old DMR website back. The Armstrong site sucks!!!
Design My Room was one of the most amazing and creative
websites I have ever been to. This is the response I got from
Support:

It was all very mysterious. I agree with Marla- there is nothing
that comes close to Design My Room. My intuition is that
their mission was to let people come and use the software
and product lines and create rooms that showcased the products.
It became a vortex for incredibly talented designers.
professional artists, interior designers and photographers.
At some point, their mission to showcase and sell products lines
furniture, paint and stuff was not as clear or visible to potential
buyers or people looking for ways to preview their design ideas.
It would be a million reasons.
It looks like Armstrong and Bruce Hardwoods boughht the DMR
idea and changed the format.
It is/was a GENIUS ideas for a site. I hope they come back with the same format.
This was horrible! I you can do is chose the color of your floors and walls. What about furniture? What about art pieces? Didnt help me at all!
Im sorry, but I really do not like this site anymore!!!!! Before you could choose and mmove around furniture! now you can only change color and flooring!:( am I missing something here? Let me know if so!
This is terrible, the Armstrong site is awful. I miss Design My Room, it was a wonderful site and a great way to explore one’s design capabilities. I can’t believe it is gone.
I agree with everyone who misses the DMR site! Is there anything comparable to it? I’ve done several searches and nothing has panned out. If anyone knows of one, please let us know!!
this is awful!!!the armstrong wood is not good at all
I hate the new designmyroom.com website. you can’t even move the furniture around. It sucks.
i agree, the new one SUCKS! im so pissed, they couldn have leaved it like that and just made a link to the website, so PISSED! ugh. i feel bad for the people who didn’t save their designs, i saved all mine on to my i touch, and i just really want it back… and i thought they were advertising well.
I think it sucks that they closed the old DMR. I ran into last year via another site and fell in love with it. I’d love to be an interior designer so this site was so awesome I would plan to spend a half hour on it and spend hours instead. I really enjoyed goofing off and making different rooms it was such an awesome site and this new one sucks…wish they’d bring the old one back!
I agree with anyone who says the new Armstrong site is terrible. There is no other site like the old DMR site. Believe me, I’ve looked! It seems that this is just another of those situations where there are no problems with something but for some reason someone decides to change it! It’s a pity because I’m positive that the new site has a considerable amount of complaints. What I want to know is very simple: WHY WAS THIS SITE CHANGED?? I hope that I may be able to find another similar site, but I highly doubt that will happen. What a shame.
All I was able to do was to choose walls and floors and that’s it!!!!!! I hate that website!
The old site sounded so fun! Who cares about the stupid lame armstrong flooring?
this game is soooooo stupid! Don’t waste your time with it
yea, this was horrible it doesn’t let you decorate a room. All you get to do is pick your walls and floor, and sometimes the ceiling.if you ask me this is false advertisment when you say you can decorate a room and thats it’s great.it aint nothing but junk and it sucks!!
