Mobile applications have intrinsically transformed nearly every aspect of our lives. Ordering food, maintaining job-tasks, checking account balances, and communicating with others — everything has been made easier by apps.
Technology has wholly enhanced and streamlined day-to-day activities, disrupting the status quo and making things simpler yet quicker. Though late to join the pool of industries that have been significantly synchronised with technology, interior designing has finally entered the arena, turning a new page.
Natasha Jain, CEO and co-founder, Bent Chair, shares her thoughts. “The traditional in-person client-designer relationship is no longer considered the industry norm. Innovative platforms that use technology to execute interior design are elevating the process without depriving the individuals of any sought-after personal touches. These design applications put expert help within everyone's reach at affordable prices. Their approach requires no in-person visits, and clients can work with designers located anywhere around the world.”
Likewise, Bent Reality empowers its users to create a 2D layout, then visualise it in 3D version, followed by addition of products, change in size, finishes, colours and successful checkout. This application also enables its customers to explore design ideas that fit the interior plan, examine several colours, products and finishes until the perfect match is found, and envision a virtual home in 3D.
Aided by developments in Artificial Intelligence and augmented reality, a growing number of interior design platforms are striving to eliminate the guesswork that, until now, had been unavoidable while designing and finalising home décor and furniture products. With the advent of technology into design industry, drafting interior outlay is comparatively quicker, affordable, and convenient for customers. Users can now design their various spaces up to eight times faster.
In a nutshell, design applications have revolutionised the interior design industry, turning it upside down. Right from helping users to discover design ideas and finalising the preferred theme to purchasing products from their curated collection, these applications do it all!
