3D room builder: 5 reasons why it’s a sales game-changer for brands and retailers

One of the most transformative tools in the interior design, home improvement, and retail industries is the 3D room builder. At HomeByMe, we’ve developed innovative, omnichannel 3D design software that is 100% web-based and designed specifically for kitchen, bathroom, storage, DIY, furniture, and decor brands and retailers.

Our 3D home design solution can dramatically boost your business efficiency and revolutionize the way you engage with customers.

What is a 3D room builder?

HomeByMe’s 3D room builder lets users create fully customizable, three-dimensional models of any room. It empowers retailers and customers to generate detailed and highly accurate room layouts with a simple, user-friendly interface.

Whether you’re in kitchens, bathrooms, DIY, or selling storage and furniture, our 3D room builder helps your customers with product visualization before purchase, making the shopping experience smoother and more enjoyable.

Available both online and in-store, our 100% web-based platform takes engagement a step further, offering a collaborative space where customers and businesses can work together in real time.

1. Gain a competitive edge with 3D product configurator integration

Our 3D room builder goes beyond basic design capabilities. What sets HomeByMe apart is our built-in 3D product configurator, allowing users to fully customize and visualize products from your catalog within the platform. Customers can see their choices in real-time, reducing the need for multiple vendors and simplifying your workflows.

The added bonus? Our 3D product configurator features augmented reality (AR) which lets users project 3D models of their design into their actual space. This extra layer of product visualization increases confidence in purchase decisions, leading to higher conversions and repeat business.

2. Leverage customer data for insight-driven decisions

HomeByMe’s platform doesn’t just create room designs – it also generates valuable data that you can use to refine your product offerings and marketing strategies. Every interaction a customer has with the platform, from selecting colors to configuring room layouts, provides insights into their preferences.

By analyzing these customer preferences, you can better understand what products and styles resonate with your audience. With this data-driven approach, you can optimize your catalog, adjust your promotional strategy, stay ahead of consumer trends, and respond to customer needs with precision and agility.

3. Offer a user-friendly solution for sales staff and customers

HomeByMe’s interior design software is built with simplicity in mind, offering an intuitive platform that can be navigated easily by both sales staff and customers. The interface is clean and straightforward to use, eliminating the steep learning curve typically associated with 3D design software. This accessibility ensures that users, whether they are design novices or professionals, can quickly bring their visions to life without needing extensive technical training.

The intuitive platform encourages customers to confidently experiment with room layouts and product customization options, instantly visualizing how changes affect the overall design. This seamless process gives them with complete control over their projects, instilling greater certainty in their design choices.

“The HomeByMe for Kitchen Retailers platform enabled us to provide a high-quality 3D planning solution to our expert designers in our franchised stores, which was so simple that even consumers with no design experience could access it online and use it easily”

Frédéric Pinoncelly, Brand Director, Hygena

For sales teams too there are advantages to this user-friendliness. The platform’s streamlined design means that they can efficiently manage customer requests, generate designs, and adjust on the fly. The simplicity of this 3D home design platform not only boosts productivity but also enables sales associates to focus their attention on customer service rather than grappling with complicated software.

4. Enhance in-store engagement

Omnichannel is king in today’s home improvement retail environment. Connecting online and in-store experiences is critical to driving engagement.

HomeByMe’s 3D room builder allows customers to begin their design projects online and then continue them in-store with the help of personalized guidance and product recommendations from knowledgeable sales staff.

This seamless integration of digital and in-store experiences strengthens the relationship between your customers and your brand and enhances in-store interactions, leading to higher conversion rates, larger transactions, completely satisfied customers, and more repeat business.

5. Photorealistic 3D renderings in minutes

A key benefit of a 3D room builder from HomeByMe is the speed at which it generates high-quality, photorealistic renderings.

In no more than a few minutes, customers can see lifelike representations of their room design, complete with accurate and adjustable lighting, textures, and materials.

For sales teams, fast 3D product visualization means they can share designs with customers for immediate feedback, giving them the input they need to make decisions and allowing sales staff to progress the interaction from evaluation to commitment more efficiently.

The ability to deliver fast, realistic renderings is crucial in creating an engaging experience that not only meets but exceeds customer expectations.
