How to Visualize Your Bathroom Style
These days, it’s easy to visualize all your design ideas on your computer or tablet. It’s a great way to try out colors and styles without committing to anything until you are sure of your design.
Here is a quick overview of how you could use the software app, RoomSketcher, to visualize your design.
- First, download the app to your computer or tablet. It’s easy to drag and click to quickly draw up your bathroom walls and add any windows or doors, then you’ll be ready to have fun creating all kinds of different designs.
- Next, try out different materials on the floor and walls. To design a contemporary style bathroom, perhaps select concrete or a large format tile for the floor, and try out a neutral paint on the walls. It’s all point-and-click, so it’s super easy to make changes and try out different options. Use the simple “camera” as you add design features to take a look.
- Now, comes the real design fun. Open Furniture mode to access a large library of vanities, showers, tubs, cabinets, and more. Just click to add each item and drag to move it. If you have a paid RoomSketcher subscription, you can change out the materials on items, for example, to see how a vanity looks with black fixtures vs chrome. Along the way, use the built-in camera to take snapshots to visualize your design as if you are really inside the room
