Ashampoo Home Design 10 – From idea to a walkable design

Why Home Design?
Whether it’s a remodel, extension or a brand-new build, Ashampoo Home Design 10 turns sketches into a clear planning workflow. You start precisely in 2D, switch to 3D with a click and instantly assess spatial feel, light, circulation and furniture placement. This lets you make informed decisions before costs arise and saves time coordinating with contractors and family.

What you can actually do – at a glance

• Accurate floor plans&dimensions for areas, heights and wall thicknesses.
• Windows, doors, stairs as parametric components you can adjust anytime.
• Roof types, ceilings, openings including dormers and roof windows.
• Interior build & materials: wood, plaster, tiles, concrete; kitchen and bathroom catalogs.
• Site & outdoors: plot, driveway, terrace and planting in 3D.
• 3D views & walk-throughs plus export of views/sections as PDF or images.

In a typical workflow you first capture existing conditions (external dimensions, openings), create the 2D floor plan and structure zones like living, cooking and working. Then you run a 3D check for proportions, sight lines and the effect of window sill heights. Even small material changes—darker flooring, matte fronts, lighter walls—noticeably alter atmosphere and reflections. Finally, you produce a compact set of documents: dimensioned views, two or three expressive perspectives and, optionally, a short camera path for presentations.

Real-world benefits

• Avoid mistakes early: 3D reveals if a tall cabinet blocks the patio door or a stair run is too steep.
• Keep budgets in check: quantities/areas for flooring, tiles and paint come straight from the model.
• Clear communication: instead of abstract measurements you share concrete views & sections—fewer site misunderstandings.
• Test variants fast: duplicate the project for open vs. closed kitchen, wood vs. tile flooring, etc.
• Work neatly: layers for basement/ground/attic keep changes traceable; favorites for standard components save clicks.

Quick answers
You don’t need prior CAD experience—many steps are drag-and-drop with helpful assistants. You can scale image/PDF floor plans and trace them accurately. For official permit drawings a licensed designer is usually required; Home Design 10 is ideal for preliminary design, concept and detailed coordination.

Conclusion
Ashampoo Home Design 10 takes you quickly from precise 2D floor plans to realistic 3D walk-throughs. The result: clearer decisions, better communication and more planning certainty-before the first brick is laid.
