CURRENT AND EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES IN THE INTERIOR DESIGN INDUSTRY

-

INTRODUCTION

The interior design sector is growing quickly as a result of technology. The established procedures from just 10 years ago are no longer employed. Technology development necessitates that interior designers adopt new methods of operation.

The pop-up exemplifies the philosophy of interactions between current environments and future architecture based on the dimensions of spatial design and brand planning, creation of art and an immersive scenario experience, as well as an investigation of differences between natural and artificial realms. Additionally, it encourages the brand's innovative and sustainable development. The pop-up store appears as a reflective time tunnel.



CURRENT AND EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES


  • SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

In interior design projects, sustainable design takes into account elements like figuring out the most effective and efficient use of space, choosing building materials with minimal negative effects on the environment, and reducing pollution, waste, and energy usage. When an interior design company is run as a sustainable business that prioritizes the use of ecologically safe construction materials, the customer benefits from maintenance cost savings and the designer benefits the environment by eliminating the need to replace hazardous materials in the future. Maintaining a sustainable interior design business also strengthens the designer's brand identity and persona and demonstrates a sincere desire to preserve and improve the environment.


                    


  • SWITCHBOARD AUTOMATION

Using motion or thermal sensors, the switchboard may turn off the electricity or heating in a room when no one is around. Additionally, the appropriate temperature of a room may be controlled to improve comfort and convenience. To use solar energy, solar panels can be integrated into the switchboard.

For optimal energy generation, the solar panels can be programmed to move at different angles as the sun shifts, thus optimizing energy generation and consumption.



  • SMART HOMES

For a few years now, smart houses have been trendy. Different household appliances are now designed to work with speech recognition software. For instance, it's simple to integrate home lighting with Google Home and control it with voice commands or a single click on a smartphone. 

Experts anticipate that in the near future, smart homes will encompass much more than just isolated gadgets. The design of future homes will incorporate smart interiors from the ground up. For instance, the innovative Tulèr kitchen worktop from the Italian design company 'Tipic' is a leader in smart kitchen solutions. The smart work surface is made of a slab of quartz composite, and it has a sink that pops out when someone wave their hand in front of a sensor. When waved again, the sink rises once more to give the appearance of a completely flush, unbroken work surface.



  • VISUAL REALITY

The interior design sector is gradually getting absorbed by VR, which has already dominated many other industries. The designer and the customer may "be there without actually being there" owing to virtual reality (VR) technology. With the press of a button, many possibilities for wallpaper, ceilings, and floors may be seen. Design concepts and situations may be explored whenever and wherever is most practical with VR. Additionally, adjustments may be made as events occur, with alternative options being investigated, thought through, and either approved or rejected.



  • POINT CLOUDS

One of the finest breakthroughs for interior designers is the production of point clouds using specialized software or 3D scanners. To generate data points that depict a 3D object, point clouds employ measurements taken at several spots on the exterior surfaces of the objects in their immediate vicinity.

Interior designers may now demonstrate their design plans remotely and online using the program as virtual elevations, walk-throughs, animations, and/or 3D models thanks to the utilization of point cloud technology.






  • 3D WALLPAPER

The use of 3D wallpapers gives the illusion of more depth and adds a noteworthy feature to any display. With stereoscopic effects that may replicate depth, texture, and visual expansion, 3D wallpaper provides countless pattern alternatives that can be customized to harmonize with the decors of the places.

This enables designers to experiment and create materials with a variety of surface textures. These might be cork, metallic, or imitation suede. Any material may be used for design, guaranteeing adaptability, durability, and a range of visual impacts.




There will definitely be new expectations and requirements for interior design as a result of the development of 3D printing, point clouds, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR). Designers need to stay abreast of these advanced technologies to prepare for a prosperous and thriving future.
