DON’T LET 3D RENDERS TRICK YOU ❌

When we first received our 3D renders from the ID, we were so excited to have a ✨preview into our dream home✨. We initially focused on the color scheme, laminate pairing and overall aesthetics — but soon realised that there was much more to consider!

✏️ Go beyond the overall vibe to check that details are accurate

We were so pleased with our first render until we noticed some things not aligned with what we discussed, for example: master bathroom render had a top-mount when we wanted an undermount sink; bathrooms didn’t include shower kerb; kitchen render had a gas stove when we’d bought an induction stove…

✏️ Don’t finalise your laminates and tiles solely based on what you see in renders

It’s highly recommended you request for samples or even head done to showrooms to view the huge samples before making a decision. Laminates may look slightly different under various types of lighting, so what you see on your screen =/ what it looks like; take a look at our bathroom tiles in real life VS the render!

✏️ While renders give a good sense of spatial proportions, make sure to align on actual dimensions with your ID

This ensures that beyond aesthetics, the practicality of the design is considered too!

Thankfully we spotted these and requested for the updates to be reflected in further iteration of the renders! Your contractors will typically refer to the renders on site, so it’s best that they reflect the correct details :)
