Virtual interior design is the use of online tools or software to digitally design interiors. Users can experiment with different designs and save their customizations. Some tools are sponsored by home supply companies and offer product recommendations.

As the name suggests, virtual interior design is an activity that uses an online tool or software application to allow users to design interiors digitally. This activity is useful for homeowners who want to experiment with different interior designs before committing to permanent changes to the physical surfaces of a home. Virtual interior design can be used with any room in a house, including kitchens, bedrooms and living rooms. Also, virtual interior design can work using images of users’ real homes.

To use virtual interior design tools successfully, users first need to select a room they want to decorate. They should then empty it and take a clear photo. Users can then upload the image to the online tool or software application. Videos, newsletters, blogs and message boards associated with the software can help users learn how to make changes.

Virtual interior design works by overlaying virtual objects, accents and accessories onto images of empty rooms. Users can experiment with different floors, walls, ceilings, furniture, fixtures, paint colors and furniture. Objects can be rotated, scaled, and moved around the room as needed to reflect their actual size or user preferences. Some software may also offer special finishes.

Some tools and programs may allow users to save their customizations. Users then have the option of printing the images and keeping them for their own records or taking them to a home improvement store to choose supplies to turn their virtual projects into reality. If a user saves several changes to a room, they can compare them to determine which customizations are best for their home.

Virtual interior design tools usually come with preloaded libraries of elements that can be applied to images. Users should know that some virtual interior design tools are sponsored or created by companies that produce home supplies. Thus, users can find recommendations for specific household products when using these tools. This can be beneficial for users who want to make seamless changes to their homes, because product suggestions will appear immediately, and sometimes the program will direct users where to buy products or provide them with a way to order them online. Software tools hosted by online companies may also offer to send copies of designs to users via email, or they can prepare CD-ROMs of designs after homeowners are done using the tools.
