But what’s the best thing about SketchUp? Move things around, change paint colors, swap things in and out-you name it, you can do it in this program. Recreate any room in your house, to scale! Decorate using the exact pieces you want, and see for yourself what works and what doesn’t. You can literally design an entire room and see it perfectly before you buy anything. No, that’s not a photograph! That is the a-mazingness of SketchUp (combined with a plugin called Podium, which adds the photo-realistic effect). Want to see it? Want to see SketchUp in action?! The floating nightstands, open desk, and a large floor mirror kept this smaller bedroom from feeling too claustrophobic (that bed didn’t help). I’ll admit, designing a bright, colorful bedroom around their dark, heavy bed was one tough cookie! I used a lot of white & metallic accents to lighten things up, and brought in tropical plants and bright, textured pillows to create a well-travelled feel. Here’s what their bedroom looked like when they bought the place: Several pieces of their existing furniture were kept: the rattan bed, Parson lacquer desk, Moroccan lantern, and bentwood chair, which you can see in the mood board above. It always helps to have a beautiful starting point, and the saturated colors in the pieces perfectly fit the vibe this couple was going for. They had also had gorgeous professional engagement photos taken in Paris and wanted them displayed, and I ended up designing the entire room around two of them. They both wanted a bright, fun look that reflected their modern/contemporary style, with a little exotic/boho thrown in for good measure. She and her fiancé had just moved into a new apartment and were hoping for a fresh look in their bedroom. The answer though, is SketchUp Make.īefore I explain, let me show you what I mean:īelow is a mood board I recently created for a client in New Jersey. Oh ho ho, naïve little Anna! Such silly questions. What is this divine decorative gift from above? How could I possibly visualize a room any better than making a mood board or using Photoshop?
It’s that good, it makes you go a little crazy. Yes! I’m so serious about this, I’ve resorted to conversing with myself in this blog post. I’m going to share with you literally The. Get ready to have your decorating socks knocked off.
