How do you show clients their space before it’s built?
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. when you’re designing a room or a whole home for a client, how do you actually get them to *see* what you’re proposing before anything is built?
Like, a floor plan makes total sense to us, but I’ve heard so many designers say clients just… nod along and don’t really picture it. Then reveal day comes and there’s a “wait, this isn’t what I imagined” moment.
Curious how people here handle this:
\*\*•\*\* Do you use 3D rendering software? Which one, and is it actually worth the learning curve?
\*\*•\*\* Do you just walk clients through verbally / with mood boards and hope for the best?
\*\*•\*\* Has anyone had a client completely misunderstand a floor plan until it was too late to change cheaply?
I ask because I’ve been quietly building a tool (RoomSketch) to solve exactly this — sketch a 2D floor plan and it turns into a walkable 3D space instantly, so clients can actually see their room/home before committing. Not trying to pitch it hard here, genuinely just want to know if this is a real pain point for people doing this professionally, or if I’m solving a problem that doesn’t actually exist. If it’s useful to anyone, happy to share more or add people to an early access list.
