How to Use a Virtual Interior Decorating Service to Change Your Own Home
The entire world has gone virtual. We shop online, do our banking online, arrange our bills online, compare the market online, find information online and more. However, we still have to live in a home and this home has to look nice to some degree. So is there any way of combining the two? Although it is not yet possible to live in a fully virtual world, you can create a virtual representation of your home. This is a great idea if you are considering redecorating, because it will give you the opportunity to truly look at your own property and see what will look good and what will look terrible.
What Is Virtual Interior Decorating?
Through virtual interior decorating, you are able to completely redecorate your home, without actually redecorating it. The programs allow you to make a visual representation of your space, true to size, and change the various colours, the places of your furniture, the style of your furniture and more. Interestingly, there are many different software packages available for this. Let's take a look at some of the options.
AutoCad and Similar
Autocad is a program that allows for 3D drawing of spaces and filling these with colours and items that have been preloaded into the program itself. This software package is most often used by architects and those who specialize in interior design, including kitchen design. It is a complicated program to understand and often requires specialist training. However, you can always fiddle with it, or try to find someone who knows how it works to get things done.
The Sims
The Sims is a game that was developed in the early 21st century by EA Games. Although the goal of the game is to play god in a sense, by controlling the lives of people, a side element is that you are able to build houses in them, in a very detailed manner. This means you could technically rebuild your own house and use different wallpapers and paints, different types of flooring, different types of furniture and more. Best of all, there are various downloads for this game in terms of alternative materials and furniture, which means you are likely to be able to find an adequate representation of your own stuff.
There are other options out there as well. If you have a young child, you could ask them to copy your home on Minecraft. This is a very strange game with simplistic graphics and only straight lines, yet kids are able to create beautiful designs that are incredibly realistic using this.
