Technical progress does not stand still and interior design steps with it in the foot. For a long time already in the program came the program-planners, which allow you to design the design of individual rooms or apartments in general using a computer. Interior design 3d is actively used in the environment of professionals. He came to replace the outdated blueprints, schemes on paper, models and mock-ups. Programs run on the principle of the designer. Dimensions and layout are introduced. Then a stylistic concept, zoning, furniture arrangement is developed. By placing decorative details, the finished composition is ground. The program for the creation of 3D design requires the calculations itself. As a result, the interior will be as close to the present as possible. Let's talk about the features of programs for creating interior design 3d, their advantages, disadvantages and nuances of use.

You can try your hand online. Many planners offer the use of a test demo version. Most of them are free. However, developers also need funds for "bread and butter," so there are paid programs that provide a high level of detail and are equipped with enhanced functionality.

       

Advantages of design in 3d

Owners of the apartment are lucky if they are owners of a rich imagination. Looking at the paper plan, it is difficult to imagine a special relief instead of a wavy line on the wall. And it is even more problematic to imagine how much its texture will accentuate the simplicity of the decor. Practically unreal is the process of objective evaluation of the redevelopment of rooms in the apartment. The two most "complex" rooms in the house are the kitchen and bathroom. They are equipped with a set of communication lines, which are marked schematically on the usual plan. Later this sketch can bring a lot of problems, as many nuances will simply not be taken into account. These complexities prevent interior design in 3d. The program allows you to create an individual plan with the embodiment of the most daring design decisions, taking into account the style features and competent layout of the zones. In addition, most designers when making dimensions, independently conducts calculations. As a result, the user will receive a full report on the number of finishing materials necessary for decorating the room.
