Digital innovations in interior design

Digital textures are photorealistic replicas (or twins) of physical fabrics which enhance and simplify the conceptual phase of a project, capturing a designer’s look or scheme before sourcing an actual fabric. Helping to bridge the gap between what is and what could be, high-resolution digital textures and sampling have far greater customer reach and longevity than physical hangers or memos can achieve, and they arrive as new with every loan.

Our expansive digital texture library includes replicas of over 30,000 of our physical fabric designs. Applied to curtains or furniture pieces, these digital textures are the base elements of visualisations, 3D renders, and digital mood boards. Learn more about the sustainability and varied applications of our digital textures here.

Tools such as Pinterest are a modern interpretation of a collage or physical mood board. Digital mood boards enable designers to showcase their vision for a project through the curation of hard and soft furnishings, colour palettes, and inspirational imagery. Travelling beyond the studio space, where they can be updated in real-time in response to feedback, to capture specific ideas of colour and style. By moving beyond a standard flat shot and incorporating digital textures as well as furniture and curtain renders into digital mood boards, customers will better visualise a design concept and specifications can easily be edited.

Our My Portfolio tool enables customers to create project mood boards showcasing text, photography, and digital textures in a sharable format. Explore The Royal Menagerie collection portfolio or create your own via the My Portfolio tab.

Visualisation technologies enable designers to test furniture pieces, wallpapers, and curtain styles in a scheme without the need to source hundreds of physical samples. Removing much of the guesswork and easing the decision-making process, while simultaneously expanding the possibilities of colour, design, and texture. By presenting interactive 3D renders of spaces, designers can visually communicate their concept to clients, opening space for further collaboration, customization, and creativity. Whether designing livable – or futuristic – spaces, the options are limitless.

With our Wallpaper, Furniture, and Curtain Visualisers, designers and their clients can preview our fabrics within a wide variety of room scenes, window styles, and on both designer and generic furniture pieces.
