A 3d rendering can be very useful when it comes to creating a designer kitchen or renovating / remodeling your bathroom, living room or bedroom!
Creating a designer kitchen, or remodeling your bedroom, bathroom or living room doesn’t have to be a difficult or strenuous task. But when it is, it can be very stressful indeed. One way to reduce the stress that can be involved in these house renovation projects is to plan ahead using 3d architectural rendering.
Just look at Raven Elyse for example, a Youtuber with over 1.7 million subscribers who was finding it extremely complicated to furnish her new house and was at a standstill with her master bedroom. As she was planning her bedroom remodeling she worked with us to create picture perfect home renderings of her dream bedroom furniture and décor, so she could see what some of her ideas would look like in the space before ordering them.
To do this, she sent us pictures of her room, then links and pictures to some of the items she was thinking of buying, including a fancy chandelier, lamps, artwork, rugs etc. She was amazed at how realistic the renderings turned out, and they allowed her to get the things she needed to finish the space. If she had wanted to go an extra step further, she could also have asked us to turn her still renderings into architectural animations or requested a 3d floor plan rendering.

How do 3d renderings help kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room design?
When the design and remodeling process becomes challenging it’s often due to conflict. This can be internal conflict within yourself, for example, you may have multiple options for furniture and décor, and either love both and can’t decide, or you don’t have the experience to know which will work the best. Alternatively, the conflict might be clashes between your designers and builders in situations where your wants and needs are lost in translation when project designs or builds are based on 2D drawings and vision boards.
So how do 3D renderings help? A 3D rendering of the suggested renovation or remodeling project will help you get clear on decisions you’re stuck on. See how your project will look in real life once it’s finished with your different options. They will also help all your team members to get on the same page, making communication much easier between the different suppliers and professionals in the project before they start the final work. This will help your projects run a lot more smoothly and without the conflict or added expense that can otherwise occur.
Here are some more examples of living room, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen renderings we’ve done. You can see many more examples on our Instagram page.
Who Are 3D Renderings Useful For?
3D renderings can be extremely useful for lots of different people involved in the redesign or remodeling process of kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms and living rooms!
Let’s take a look at the various people who might be involved in a renovation project:
Architects
Architects lay the groundwork and foundation of a design. When remodeling or renovating your space, it is the architect’s job to ensure that the design fits in with the style of the rest of the house while incorporating the changes that their client wants. They are also responsible for laying out the space according to the area available. Where will the cupboards go? Do you need overhead storage? What about hidden elements that slide out of use when they’re not needed?
A 3D rendering will help the architect showcase the pros and cons of each design feature they’re proposing. This works better than discussing designs just using 2D drawings as with 3D renderings clients can much more easily visualize exactly what is good and bad about each change that’s being suggested.
Interior Designers
Renovations and remodeling usually involves a change in the theme and décor of the rooms. This job is often handled by an interior designer, who specializes in the look and feel of the room, as opposed to the structural layout which is the job of the architect. Before 3d interior renderings were available, suggestions and décor options had to be presented to the client either using photos or vision boards. This could be a long and time-consuming process, would limit the amount of work interior designers could take on, and would not necessarily result in satisfied clients. See Raven’s video above for an example of how just using photos she wasn’t able to communicate her design ideas for her office to her interior designers to get the results she was looking for.
Now interior designers can make use of static 3D renderings of what the finished renovated and remodeled rooms will look like, transporting their clients there in their imagination, or even taking things to the next level by giving clients a virtual tour of the revamped space. This makes it easier for the designer to help clients visualize the changes they have in mind. It also makes reworking plans easier as clients can immediately let the interior designer know what they don’t like about the new designs. If using a virtual tour, the designer can even do things like showing their clients different décor options in real time right in the virtual space!
Home Owners
Architects and interior designers are creative people who have no trouble visualizing changes using 2D plans and vision boards. Homeowners typically don’t find this quite so easy, however. A 3D rendering helps homeowners to visualize the changes and designs suggested by their designers in a way that’s realistic and tangible. They can see exactly what the room will look like when it’s finished. This reduces a lot of stress and unknowns like wondering whether they will be fully happy with the renovation once it’s finished.
3D renderings make it simple for them to point out what they like and don’t like about each design. Since they can make any changes they want before construction actually begins they can also save a lot of money on redoing designs or making changes to the physical space later on, and can avoid being stuck with a remodeled room they’re not 100% happy with.
Why Are 3D Renderings Useful for bathroom, bedroom, living room and kitchen renovations?
In summary, here are the ways that 3D visualizations can be useful in the process of designing, redesigning, renovating and remodeling bathrooms, kitchens, living rooms and bedrooms:
3D renderings make visualization of the final product a lot easier. 3D renderings help designers present their ideas and designs in a clear-cut way that helps avoid confusion and conflict in the project.
Since renderings are digital, changes to them can be made very quickly if a client or homeowner is not satisfied with a design, and at minimal cost compared to redoing 2D drawings, or having to change rooms once they’ve been built out. This ensures that the final product is the best combination of the designers’ vision and the clients’ preferences.
The time spent on communicating plans and making changes in projects will be considerably reduced as each aspect of the design can be clearly visualized with the help of the 3D rendering.
Since renderings are in a digital format the plans and designs can be easily shared amongst involved parties. There is no need for the clients and the designers to be in the same room for the plans to be communicated effectively. This is very useful if you are a person who travels a lot or if you are renovating or remodeling a room, set of rooms or house in another country or state.
Renderings come in handy for architects and interior designers putting together a portfolio, as they can share the architectural visualization on their site without having to wait for the build to be completed so they can take photos.
Ready to get started, or to take the next step on your project?
If you’re planning to remodel your house soon or are working on a renovation project for a client, you can save a lot of money and time by getting a 3D rendering of the planned redesign. This will help everyone involved see what the design will look like before any materials are bought or changes to the physical space are made. 3D renderings can be surprisingly affordable, and if you’ve never used them before, once you do you’ll never go back!
