How Do I Use a Virtual Home Remodeling Resource
First and foremost, we want to preface this by saying no matter what – your final remodel design plan will be executed by the professionals! Our team at Home Indeed is experienced and qualified, and will take your ideas to the next level. Virtual Home remodeling is not utilized to put the burden of final remodeling plans on the homeowner, but rather to help you in your brainstorm and inspiration journey before you make the move to contact a design-build remodeler like us!
If you’re tired of scrolling through Pinterest and are ready for some real-life inspiration, these virtual remodeling resources are a fun way to see if all those saved ideas will come together once they’re in a space.
There are different ways to draw a home remodel plan within these virtual remodelers, but the first step is to select your remodel area and measure the specs of the rooms you’ve selected in your home, to be sure what you see on the screen is how it will be laid out in real life. However, remember that one wrong measurement could throw off the entire design. From there, it’s all up to you! Utilizing the built-in features and functionalities that the virtual remodel visualizers have will guide you through the steps.
Helpful Home Remodeling Tips to Consider Before You Begin
As these virtual visualizers are to be used as a fun, pre-consultation resource, below are some helpful tips to get you going once you get in there and start moving things around.
Remember: don’t let yourself get overwhelmed, though! This is meant to provide a little fun between the idea stage and the decision stage. Once you schedule a consultation with a design-build remodeler, the experts will take your ideas (feel free to show off your virtual designs!) and lay them out in a final design plan.
Tips for Designing an Efficient Layout
Think about creating a layout that is balanced yet efficient. This can be done by determining how your remodeled areas will be used. Consider improved accessibility and traffic flow, making the best use of the space you have, maximize the lighting, and think about any other specific design needs you might want.
Kitchen Design Tips
There are several design details you could consider before proceeding with your kitchen remodeling designs. Think about how you use your kitchen – things like the conveniences you want, functionality, storage, cabinets, counter space, lighting, flooring, appliances, and ventilation.
Popular Bathroom Remodeling Ideas
As you probably already know, kitchens and bathrooms are what will bring the highest return on your investment when you are ready to sell your home! Therefore, including some bathroom remodeling ideas in your virtual bathroom remodel design is a good idea. If you want to continue exploring, here are some more bathroom remodeling ideas.
Is There an App for This?
If you’re looking to utilize virtual home remodeling resources on a smaller-scale that can fit in your back pocket, you’re in luck. There are plenty of both free and paid apps for your phone that you can download and start having fun before you embark on a professional remodeling journey.
You can find these on the Apple Store and Google Play Store – some of them even allow you to take a picture of your room then convert it to a 3D home design! This means you can place real furniture and products in the room to see how your design looks. Be advised, however, that these apps don’t get into the nitty-gritty of remodeling – they are room designers/visualizers, not to the scale of a professional remodeling designer.
