I was introduced to HomeByMe last year and due to its ease of use and if I’m honest, regret not using it sooner as it has transformed my business."

With the ramifications for businesses caused by the lockdown and the threat that there could be a second ‘spike’ in COVID-19 infections potentially causing another, interior designers and retailers are adapting their strategies to a new economic climate outside the realm of brick and mortar retail.

The challenge of maintaining business momentum has unleashed many innovative and creative ways to continue servicing customers in the new era of social distancing. One particularly effective method is online kitchen planning with 3D planning solutions, like ‘HomeByMe for Kitchen Retailers’ from Dassault Systemes.

Online 3D kitchen planning allows designers and customers to be in contact through every step of the kitchen planning process. Philippa Sale, Owner of Flippa Interiors, an Oxfordshirebased interior design company, is using HomeByMe to stay connected to her clients throughout their design journey. Her business has embraced a digital journey and is using HomeByMe to show clients new designs and fuel their imagination with amazingly lifelike visuals available twenty four hours a day.

We asked Philippa to explain her current design process and the impact 3D decoration and planning and online communication has had on her business, “I was introduced to HomeByMe last year and due to its ease of use and if I’m honest, regret not using it

When I send my clients the 360 views and renders they are truly astonished. For the first time my clients really understand what the space looks like and are grateful for such high quality visuals."

sooner as it has transformed my business since the onset of the lockdown. Clients send me their plans and I place some items to begin discussions. We meet in an online conference platform and they can see, edit, and add items on the HomeByMe site. If clients want room layouts, furnishing ideas, flooring and wall colors or full kitchen design, anything is possible with this design tool.”

All kitchen retailers are facing similar obstacles with store closures, furloughed staff and the prospect of very limited physical interaction and it is driving retailers to adopt a digital transformation strategy centralizing on virtual conversation and online interaction. 3D guided design planning allows retailers to facilitate communications while servicing customers uninterrupted, even during a global pandemic.

Due to health concerns, consumers are embracing a move from a seeking help instore mindset, to a do-it-yourself mentality and are becoming accustomed to online kitchen and home design planning. Providing an informative guided experience with priced items, business rules, and beautifully rendered visuals will ensure that retailers and interior designers take their store to the customer, instead of the other way around.

Summarising, Philippa of Flippa Interiors, explains how providing stunning visuals has resonated with her clients, “When I send my clients the 360 views and renders they are truly astonished. For the first time my clients really understand what the space looks like and are grateful for such high quality visuals. Working with HomeByMe has helped me adapt in these difficult times and now allows me to help clients anywhere in the UK and not just in my local area.”
