Waltham, MA, January 18, 2005. Put away the graph paper. Lose the little paper cutouts. Furniture.com’s online Room Planner (www.furniture.com/roomplanner) delivers the power of the Internet with a host of interactive tools to help homeowners design and visualize how furniture will look in their rooms.

“With Room Planner, you can create an unlimited number of plans, experiment with hundreds of home furnishings, accessories and layouts, and even save and share your plans with family and friends,” said Furniture.com president Carl Prindle. “As soon as you decide that you love what you see, you can turn your vision into a purchase with just a few clicks of the mouse”

For couples planning their new home, Furniture.com’s Room Planner offers a truly collaborative shopping experience.
