Easiest-to-use home-design software.One of the biggest complaints about home-design software is that it is hard to use, but reviews give the edge to Better Homes and Gardens when it comes to ease of use. Made by Chief Architect (whose professional architectural software starts at $1200), Home Designer is easier to learn than other titles, say reviews. New users can start with quick-start pre-designed rooms or specify their own space. The software comes with a useful instructional video as well as a printed manual. Landscaping and deck-design software is also included. Reviews say the Punch! Professional Home Design is ultimately more robust and flexible, but it takes a lot longer to learn.
