Digital Transformation: Smartphone Apps Revolutionise Renovation Planning
Amsterdam, maandag, 9 juni 2025.
New smartphone applications are a game-changer in the housing sector. Through advanced virtual design tools, consumers can now visualise spaces in detail, select materials, and make design decisions without physical effort. These technological innovations make the renovation process more transparent, interactive, and efficient. Users can now create realistic 3D representations from their living room, test materials and colours live, and make informed choices before the first renovation work begins. The apps not only lower the barrier to renovation projects but also provide professional design insights for both DIY enthusiasts and interior professionals.
Technological Innovations in Renovation Planning
Smartphones are transforming the housing sector with advanced design applications that offer consumers extensive possibilities. Users can now design virtual spaces and test materials live, significantly simplifying the renovation process [1]. The latest apps feature advanced 3D visualisation technology that creates realistic representations of potential renovation projects [2].
Market Trends in Digital Renovation Tools
Recent research shows that the market for renovation apps is steadily growing. In the first quarter of 2025, revenue in DIY, kitchen, and flooring products increased by 3.4 percent, with a volume increase of 2.3 percent [3]. This trend reflects the increasing digitalisation in the housing sector, with technology fundamentally reforming traditional renovation methods [4].
Practical Benefits of Digital Design Tools
Modern smartphone applications offer consumers unprecedented spatial design possibilities. Users can compare materials, test colours, and create detailed 3D representations without physical effort [5]. Quick-Step, for example, promotes PVC floors specifically for children’s rooms, emphasising practical and stylish features, including sound-dampening properties [6].
