If you are an adult who enjoys interior decorating, games can provide you with hours of fun. You can make all the changes you want without having to buy any paint or lift a brush. Not only can these games be relaxing and enjoyable, you may also find that you get ideas about colors and techniques that you would like to try in your own home.

"Imagine"

Decorating games let you try many different design looks.

The "Imagine, Interior Designer" game is for the Nintendo DS system. The game is intended for older children and adults. It covers many different aspects of interior decoration and design. Some parts of it might be too complicated for children, but adults are generally able to figure out all the different modules in the game. There are seven different workshops in the game that allow players to create items to be used in decorating, to change the colors of existing items, and to create and frame artwork to hang in different rooms within the game. Adults will enjoy getting a few ideas from the game and experimenting with the available colors and designs. The game can be purchased at video stores and from various online sources.
