Interior design presentation is a brilliant way for real estate agents to showcase the property from various perspectives to their clients. Renderings, exact specifications, sketches, details, and samples are the most common parts of such a project.
A good visual presentation of the interior will show a potential buyer a picture of the home he/she is interested in. Besides, it will simplify your workflow, since you can include various details in such kinds of projects, so there won’t be a need to send customers additional floor plans, furniture textures, etc.
First, try to represent the initial design concept on paper. Visualize a basic layout of the property indicating the dimensions of every room.
Make a quick draft of your ideas. Include any comments that you should bear in mind when working on your presentation.
Digitalizing your project is an excellent idea, which you can implement using drawing tablets or smartphones with drawing apps installed that allow adding colors and tweaking designs without any hassle.
Developing accurate floor plans at this stage is pivotal. This allows for estimating how much space is being occupied and defining how many details should be added. Besides, you can include detailed elevations showcasing various heights and openings.
It is up to you whether to create furniture pieces of some specific size or browse the program’s furniture collection and choose the item you like. At this stage, you should have accurate measurements of both space and furniture.
Nowadays the market offers a great variety of floor plan apps, but the most popular options are SketchUp, Sweet Home 3D, Roomstyler, Roomle, etc.
Positioning, which showcases the connection and arrangement of rooms on a layout, is also pivotal.
At this point, you should already know what style your customers prefer. Paying attention to your client’s tastes is paramount when it comes to furnishing a space.
Besides, you can benefit from ready-to-use designs for creating a desired atmosphere in a particular space. Contemporary, modern, charming, and other styles are available. At this stage, you can also decide on a specific style of interior design, such as classicism, modern, loft, high-tech, and others.
Book for real estate agents & interior designers provides much info concerning this issue.
Adding special details to your design is one of the greatest room decoration ideas. After presenting a mood board to your clients, you’ve probably found out what textures, colors, and materials appeal to them.
There are many decoration elements in interior design apps that you can include in your project. Alternatively, use more sophisticated software to create such components from the get-go.
Mix colors, textures, materials, and their samples and combine them into a single composition. Use one of these tools: PatternLab, Canva, GitBook, and others.
Once the previous stage is completed, it is high time to create a 3D rendering of your project. Note that proper lighting management helps achieve the greatest possible result. Use both artificial and natural illumination for presenting the design to provide customers with a comprehensive picture of their property.
The last step of developing an impressive interior designer presentation is to create a 3D tour to let your clients dive into the atmosphere you’ve created. By uploading your interior photos, you can turn them into the whole walkthrough, during which the clients can zoom any object, and change the viewing angle and location.
This step is optional when we are talking about interior design, but virtual tours greatly increase your chances of success with any given client.
Depending on the needs of the client, you can include different materials in your presentation, but there is a list of obligatory elements.
3D floor plan for understanding space. Most floor plan software allow you to draw 2D plans and view them in 3D format. When viewing a 3D layout, the customers get more detailed info about the space getting a clear understanding of how big it is, its layout, etc.
It doesn’t make much of a difference how you present the floor plan to the client – in a hand-drawn format or made with digital tools. It greatly depends on the method of communication.
If you are going to the first and most important face-to-face meeting with a potential client, it will be more appropriate to draw by hand, making changes on the go as you interact.
Take advantage of instant messaging software to send floor plans made using a specialized program with more convenience. At the same time, I recommend choosing a program that allows sharing files with the right to make adjustments.
Mood board to define your clients’ needs. To define your clients’ tastes and preferences, as well as their vision of the interior, include several mood boards in your interior design presentation. Each of them should reflect a certain style of the interior.
Pinterest is a fantastic resource for selecting referencing styles, colors, textures, and details. Interior design inspiration, interior design ideas, interior design aesthetics, interior design styles, and other keys are most common for searching the required data on this platform.
Next, combine all the ideas using mood board apps like Pinterest, Moodzer, MilaNote, Vision Board, and others.
Furniture visualization for a more detailed pic. A furniture plan features all furniture items with their exact dimensions showcasing how much space is left around each piece. Providing your clients with the ability to visualize the real shape, color, and texture of each element in combination with other decorative things is a brilliant idea.
It is great that many resources offer free 3D models of furniture items for enhancing your design. Besides, the majority of interior design software comes with a great range of 3D models, but you can also visit such sites as Adobe Stock, 3D Warehouse, Free3D, Hum3D, etc. and check what they offer.
3D renderings to add realism. 3D renderings are the key to a successful interior design project presentation. Using them, you can represent a 3D view of your design with such details as interior lighting, sunlight, shadows, and textures. Basically, your entire presentation can look like renderings of different rooms, but in this case, it is better to add samples of furniture materials, textiles, and components for a more visual demonstration.
Using free rendering software, creating a lifelike rendering of your space is a quick and easy procedure.
But note that these tools are quite pricey and have a steep learning curve. Blender, Arnold, Indigo Renderer, Lumion are among the most popular programs for 3D rendering.
