Using 3D Renders

Coloured renders are an invaluable tool when communicating our design ideas to the client - they really bring the design to life, enabling the client to visualise how the final room will look.

Why Use 3D Renders?

Our clients find looking at 3D renders of our designs incredibly useful, as they help them with the following.

  • Understanding the scale of the room
  • How pieces of furniture will look with each other
  • The floor plan and layout
  • How the colours and materials work together
  • Working out if there are any changes they would like to make

We use the program 'SketchUp' to create our 3D renders.
