Home Improvement Ideas Apps

There are many new smartphone apps with home improvement ideas available now. These apps offer tips on how to maintain and improve your home and save money in the process. These apps can be useful for homeowners, contractors and real estate agents as well. For example, the ColorSnap app is a free app for iPhone and BlackBerry that allows you to snap a photo of any color and match it as closely as possible to a corresponding paint color from Sherwin-Williams'.

The app will also give you secondary and complementary color recommendations. Another free app called @Home from Good Housekeeping magazine has compiled the best cleaning tips from the magazine's advice columns into an easily searchable database. It also offers tons of decorating ideas and recommended products to keep your home looking great.
