MAY2024

Thanks to technology, the interior design industry is evolving at a breakneck pace. The standard practices from just one decade ago are no longer in practice. Advancements in technology demand that interior designers embrace new ways of operation.


Gone are old-school practices like housing and maintaining an entire library of product binders or meeting with every client face-to-face. These days, video chats, virtual resource libraries, and powerful 3D rendering tools are becoming common in the interior design industry. And with increasing conversations around the future of the internet, we’re all bracing for a leap into a 3D virtual world.


As a design professional, what do you need to know about the emerging interior design technology so you can work smarter, streamline your processes, and communicate ideas and concepts more easily to your clients?


This article from Gather, The Importance of Implementing New Technology in Interior Design, presents how one can implement technology and improve design workflow while looking toward future trends.
