You may have been dreaming about what your custom built home in Kelowna will look like for years, and you may be thrilled that our professionals at Alair Homes are moving forward with the design and construction process. Throughout the custom home building experience, you will need to make important design decisions. We are available to assist you throughout the process, but putting technology to use is another great way to start making plans and set up the design aesthetic for your new home. Here are some apps worth checking out.
Houzz
From the time when your Kelowna home’s design is being created until the last accessory is placed in your new home, you will need to pay attention to fine details. The Houzz app provides you with millions of home décor and design photos to browse through. Save the ones that appeal to you along with relevant notes through the app. Refer back to these images for inspiration through each stage of the custom home building process.
Sun Seeker
The position of your home, the location and size of the windows, the location of the patio and even the types of plants in your yard will all be affected by sunlight. Sun Seeker is an easy-to-use app that lets you see the route the sun travels over the projected position of your new home. This information lets you make smart design and decorating decisions based on natural sunlight.
roOomy
Rather than taking a trial and error approach to home décor, use the roOomy app to create 3D depictions of your rooms. These to-scale renderings are useful as you select furniture and other pieces to incorporate into the spaces. You can also use the app to determine the best placement of furniture and accessories.
Photo Measures
Another helpful measurement tool is Photo Measures. Like the previous app, it creates accurate measurements of your rooms after you upload an image to the platform. You can then use these measurements to make smart home decorating and design decisions.
Adobe Color Capture
You must make important color selections for interior and exterior design, and this includes for built-in features that may be difficult to change after they are installed. Adobe Color Capture creates a personalized color palette based on the colors that you love. Simply take pictures through the app of different colors that are appealing to you over the course of several days. The app assembles the colors that you select most frequently in a scheme that will look great in your home.
Havenly
Interior design can be challenging to many people, and Havenly takes the stress out of this process. Regardless of whether you need help with a small decorating decision or you need assistance decorating your entire custom home, you can connect with professional interior decorators through Havenly. These professionals will review your budget, style preferences and the images that you upload to provide you with expert guidance.
Your custom built home from Alair Homes will live up to or even exceed your expectations. Download a few of these apps today to put their benefits to work for you.
