This development marks an important milestone, showcasing the power of visualization tools in transforming the design experience. By giving consumers and designers the ability to visualize how different furniture pieces can fit into a room, Intiaro has made customization and room planning more accessible and intuitive. "This interactive tool gives you the power of a professional to create your dream room using a digital 3-D floor planner and a library of hundreds of products," said Karen McNeal, CEO of the American Home Furnishings Hall of Fame. "You can change room sizes and shapes on the fly, move windows and doors, and experiment with colors and patterns. When the room is ready, you can drop in a range of furnishings to unleash the design hidden in your mind’s eye."

Design Your Room is a custom software application developed collaboratively by Intiaro and Floorplanner.com, allowing users to create a virtual room using 3D tools to configure and place furniture according to their style preferences. The kiosk features a 7-foot-wide screen, which guides users step-by-step through the design process, enhancing their engagement and creative involvement. A highlight of Design Your Room is Intiaro’s 3D solution, providing real-time visualization of furniture configurations, which is instrumental in enhancing the design experience.

For furniture manufacturers, integrating visualization technology like that of Intiaro offers significant advantages. The kiosk provides a hands-on experience for end-users, allowing them to interact with products virtually and understand their design potential before making a purchase. This kind of interactive visualization helps eliminate uncertainty, which is often a barrier to purchasing high-end or customized furniture. The technology also speeds up the decision-making process, ultimately leading to more streamlined sales.

The interactive design kiosk, located on the second floor of the Hall of Fame building at 311 S. Hamilton, debuted during the recent High Point Market and is now a featured exhibit in the museum. Intiaro's permanent setup at the Hall of Fame reflects the growing demand for better consumer experiences in furniture showrooms. For manufacturers, being part of this trend means leveraging the power of visualization to create a more dynamic customer journey. With augmented reality (AR) and 3D modeling becoming increasingly common, manufacturers can provide immersive product demonstrations that improve customer confidence and drive conversions.

Furthermore, Intiaro's collaboration with Floorplanner.com demonstrates how partnerships can elevate industry standards. "We were very honored to be approached by Karen McNeill for this project. She’s a tremendous leader and force in the industry, and collaborating with the talented Floorplanner.com team has been a great experience as well," said Michal Stachowski, Intiaro chief commercial officer and co-founder. By combining advanced visualization tools with a well-known design platform, the "Design Your Room" kiosk not only meets but exceeds customer expectations. Manufacturers can take advantage of these technologies to differentiate their offerings and stand out in a highly competitive market, adding value not just for consumers, but also for design professionals seeking versatile tools.

Ultimately, Intiaro's latest achievement reaffirms the value of technology in the modern furniture industry. By embedding advanced visualization tools in consumer-facing spaces, Intiaro has paved the way for a more engaging and customer-centered approach to furniture shopping. Manufacturers looking to stay ahead in the industry should consider how visualization technology can enrich the consumer experience, strengthen brand loyalty, and ultimately boost sales.
