Is Virtual Reality the Future of Interior Design?

Is Virtual Reality the Future of Interior Design?

Residential interior design is a luxury service. Period. AI and virtual reality are about to radically change how you deliver that luxury service.

In one of today’s four interior design business podcasts, interior designer Ellie Redders talks about her use of virtual reality as a tool to showcase her design concepts. And while this is pretty awesome for 2023, it’s nothing compared to what’s coming next.

Right now, Ellie’s use of virtual reality is way more impressive than floor plans and 3D renderings, but it’s nowhere near as cool as it’s going to be once AI really gets rolling.

Imagine this:

During your initial site visit, you use your next-gen LIDAR app to accurately measure your potential client’s home

You and your AI-powered design software create an amazing design concept

That design concept is automatically generated as 2D floor plans, 3D renderings and a fully immersive virtual reality space

In addition to the design, options for every piece of furniture, window covering, lighting fixture, etc are selected. These options will be classified by vendor, price, availability, etc

When you present your design concept to the prospective client, they will be able to view and interact with your designed space in a fully-immersive virtual space.

And once they’ve signed the contract, AI-powered software will set up a timeline, submit purchase orders, alert employees, vendors & trades to their roles in the project, etc

Now that sounds like luxury.
