Have you ever looked at a mood board or floor plan and thought, I just can’t see it? You’re not alone! Some people find it hard to visualize how a space will look and feel based on sketches or even color swatches.
Here’s why: People tend to fall into two categories when it comes to visualization:
- Aphantasia: You can’t picture mental images. It’s not a lack of imagination—your brain just works differently!
- Phantasia: A spectrum of visualization ability. Designers often shine here, effortlessly imagining how a space could transform with new layouts, colors, and finishes.
If you struggle with picturing your space, don’t worry—this is exactly where photo-realistic renderings can help!
What Are Photo-Realistic Renderings?
Imagine seeing your redesigned room as if it’s already finished—furniture, colors, lighting, and all. That’s the power of a photo-realistic rendering.
Take a look at this example:
On the left, you see the actual after photo. On the right? A rendering. Pretty darn close, right? These visuals give you confidence in your design choices before construction even begins. Especially in the scenario where we were relocating the kitchen to a new wall.
Why Not Just Use AI Tools?
AI design tools are trendy right now, but here’s the catch: they’re great for sparking ideas, but they don’t give you accurate, to-scale visuals.
- AI can’t account for the unique quirks of your space.
- It doesn’t use your chosen materials or exact measurements.
- You get generic designs, not something tailored to you.
When we create renderings, we build them in 3D software based on your final design plan. The result? A realistic, detailed preview of your actual space—not just a pretty picture.
How We Make It Easy for You
With our full-service design packages, everything is handled for you (but always with you). Here’s how renderings fit in:
- We design a space tailored to your style and needs.
- You can easily add photo-realistic renderings to your project.
- These renderings give you a clear, stress-free way to see the finished design before we begin the work. “It’s a lot easier to decide if you want to make a change with a pen (or computer mouse) than a hammer”. – No idea where I heard that from but it’s true, make your edits in the design phase so you have less stress and decisions during construction.
