ColorSnap
You’ll always find some beautiful colors no matter where you go, but when you try to find the same one in the store you never get the same one you want. That will all change once you start using the ColorSnap app as you won’t need to guess what a certain color is any more. You just snap a photo of anything colorful and the app will match it to a paint color in the Sherwin Williams collection. I wouldn’t bother trying to paint any walls until you’ve messed around with the app.
Lowe’s
A lot of home improvement companies are coming out with their own apps and the Lowe’s one is as good as any. It’s a hundred times easier to open up the app and browse their entire catalog from your living room sofa instead of looking around one of their stores. You can even come up with a list of things you want to buy then you won’t waste any time when you go to pick everything up. You’ll get to see what they have at your local store so you know what is available to collect straight away.

Flooring installation doesn’t just happen overnight and when you’ve laid your floor you can’t rip it back up again because it will cost you a lot of money in both materials and man power.

Style My Floor will help you do it a hundred times better than any other way I can think of as you’ll be able to use technology to change the floor in your home using augmented reality until you find the style you like.
