Located just outside of Vancouver, Maple Ridge provides its residents with a charming lifestyle and access to all that the big city offers. If you have decided that Maple Ridge is the ideal location for your custom built home, congratulations! You’ve made a great choice. Before you can get settled in to your custom home designed and built by Alair Homes, there are numerous decisions to make. Thankfully, there are multiple apps that can assist you with various aspects of the home design and decorating processes.

Adobe Color Capture

Selecting the right color scheme for your new Maple Ridge home is a critical part of the design process, and this app helps you to select colors that are appealing to you. After you download the app, capture images of the colors that are appealing to you over the course of several days. Adobe Color Capture creates a customized color palette for your interior and exterior paint selections based on the colors that you love.

Sun Seeker

The location and size of your new home’s windows directly impact ambiance, your comfort level in the home and more. The Sun Seeker app tells you precisely how the sun will track over the home so that you can take advantage of sunlight as desired while blocking it for comfort in some areas of your custom built home. This app is also useful when selecting interior and exterior paint colors, designing your home’s landscape plan and more.

After uploading images of your new rooms to the app, you will have precise measurements. With dimensions of your home’s room’s in hand, you can quickly and accurately determine which furnishings will fit well in the space. This can be used with your existing furniture or to help you make purchasing decisions.
