Interior Decoration Games

In interior decoration games you get an empty room or house, or one that's half finished, and it's up to you to furnish it, choose colors and place the little details your way. There are almost 200 games, with very different styles and difficulty levels.

Types of games

The biggest group is dollhouses: La casa de Barbie (Barbie's house), Doll House Maker, Casita de muñecas, Habitación de muñecas or Princess Doll House Decoration. Usually you choose furniture from a catalog and put it wherever you like.

Others are more about tidying and cleaning before you decorate, like Ordena mi casa, Ordenar habitación Barbie or Sweet Home Cleaning: Princess. There are also rooms for holidays, such as Decoración de Halloween, ChristmasRoom Decoration or Baby Hazel Valentines Day. If you'd like a more structured challenge, House Design Match 3 mixes match-three puzzles with home design, and Home Makeover Hidden Object does the same with hidden object hunts.

How to play

It's almost always mouse or finger: you click a piece of furniture or an ornament in the menu, drag it into the room and drop it where you want it. There are usually tabs by category (beds, tables, pictures, rugs), and most let you change the color of the walls or floor. Some add a goal, like making the client happy, but many are free mode with no ending: you finish when you like how it looks.

A tip from people who enjoy these games: pick two or three colors first and stick with them. A room with ten different colors rarely works, and the difference shows more than you'd think. Start with the big pieces (bed, sofa, table) and leave pictures and plants for last.

Who they're for

There's no set age. Some are very simple, made for the youngest players, like Kids Classroom Decoration or Baby Hazel Valentines Day, and others have more options. And they aren't only for people who play with dollhouses: anyone who likes organizing, matching or inventing spaces can get hooked.
