Standout Home Design Features:
Home & Landscape Design is a great tool for experienced and new users alike, but "prosumers" and contractors may need more professional grade solutions. For the prosumer, Punch! Home & Landscape Design Suite offers everything in the basic package reviewed here, but adds more deck and landscaping design options, and brand name interior deco and trim from Sherwin Williams, Enviroglas, Beuchel, Daltile and more. If that's not enough, in the design suite you can import 3D objects (furniture, cabinets, fixtures, etc.) directly from Google's online library. It's a great deal, giving you thousands more options for $50 more.
For the professional contractor, Punch! also offers Architectural Series 5000, a dependable tool that contractors have relied on for years to aid and impress customers with smart, unique designs.
Punch also has home and landscape design software for Mac users, in Home & Landscape Design Studio.
Home design software aesthetics range from the minimal 2D lines on a grid that resembles AutoCAD from the year 1990, to powerful 2D design and 3D rendering that gives the best visual representation of a design. Punch Home & Landscape Design is one of the latter. See every shade of paint in all kinds of lighting conditions, see the shine of the hardwood floor in the kitchen, and see how relaxing the master bathroom can be with soft color tones and lighting, and a tub surrounded by all the foofoo candles and bath oils your nasal passages can handle.
Punch’s 3D environment is one of the best-looking, and the quality of their appliances and furniture improves every year. Add to that the ease of moving around in the 3D world, and your designs really come to life.
