6 Benefits of Being Able to Virtually Tour Your New Home Design

Being able to virtually tour your new home design is a benefit for both home buyers and those who are seeking to remodel or renovate. What seemed a little futuristic just a few years ago is now the standard approach thanks to technology. More and more designers and contractors throughout the Quad Cities are referring to laptops and pads over blueprints and your imagination.

Home design projects are exciting and help you get the most out of your living space. Changing up an outdated and tired-looking kitchen is a pretty big undertaking. Taking down walls, adding a sunroom, powder room or even an entire upper level to your home is overwhelming. It’s great to get an idea of the end result before taking down walls or adding on  to your home.

Virtually Tour Your New Home Design

Until now homeowners weren’t able to get the full idea of what their completed new home design would look like. Sure, it was possible to view a mock-up on a blueprint and even a 2D or 3D version provided by your architect or designer, but it jut wasn’t the same as standing in the midst of the end result.

With virtual reality home design you have the opportunity for total 360° immersion in your room addition, redesigned kitchen or any part of your new home design. This futuristic tool offers amazing clarity as you virtually “walk” through your new home design even before construction commences. 

The Benefits of Virtual Design

When you virtually tour your new home design you’re doing so before the work takes place. You can make any adjustments to the design or revise your renovation with a simple move of a mouse. And best of all? Being able to virtually tour your design saves homeowners money.

Here are six benefits of being able to virtually tour your new home design:

  1. Virtual Design Saves Money: Virtual home design allows you to remodel or build before you make the final commitment. Your budget takes a beating when you make a mistake or don’t like the way things turned out. Cabinet placement in your kitchen, for example, can be costly to reconfigure. Virtually tour your new home design before the first board is cut and plan your entire renovation, making changes virtually as you go.
  1. You Save Time with Virtual Design: Renovations, remodels and new builds take lots of time to complete. The disruption when you’re living in the midst of renovations is a huge frustration for you and your family. When you do all of the work though virtual design you already know the materials you’ll need, and you can approximate the timeline of the project before it begins. This saves time for you and your design and contracting team.
  1. Find the Design That Works for Your Home: Do you want to take your farmhouse kitchen into a mid-century modern dream?  Or add an entire in-law suite to your second story or basement? Virtual design lets you find out just what works for you. Both style and construction can be done virtually. You’ll know if the design from your Pinterest board, or the style from your favorite home improvement show is actually do-able in your home.
  1. Fix Mistakes Before they Happen: When mistakes are made in remodels, renovations or any home design it can be hugely disappointing. Your have one idea and your designer or contractor sees it an entirely different way. Your open concept is much too open for your liking. There are endless scenarios where you could end up with a costly and time-consuming home design. You don’t just have to live with. Virtually tour your new home design together with your team. You’ll all be on the same page. If you decide you need to make a change you have the flexibility to do so. You’ll end up with the finished project you want and there won’t be any surprises.
  1. Be As Creative As You Want: Another benefit of being able to virtually tour your new design? You can try out anything you want. Add a coffee station in that little-used area of your kitchen. Find out if you really do want a shiplap wall in your dining room or bedroom. Add a spa bathroom to your master.

Virtually Tour Your Exterior Too: For those Quad Cities homeowners who want to make the most of your outdoor space being able to virtually tour a sunroom addition, rocking chair front porch, enclosed patio, wrap-around deck and outdoor fireplace is quite the benefit.
