You know Bham Now is all about the latest and greatest tech in Birmingham. So it’s probably no surprise that as soon as we heard about a new AR app that lets you place furniture anywhere you want, we had to give it a go.
Checkout our AR adventure, having fun with furniture in a few iconic Birmingham spots. Find out how you can use this technology on your own to make decorating your home SO much easier.
Try Before You Buy with AR Apps
Shopping for home furnishings can be stressful. You like the sofa in the showroom but how will it look in your home? Many times you have to commit to a piece, or whole new room of furniture, before you see it in your den. And, moving the furniture around, for perfect placement can be exhausting and floor-scratching.
But now there’s a better way. Enter the new AR (augmented reality) app by La-Z-Boy which lets you easily place furniture wherever whenever—giving you a sneak preview before you buy. GENIUS.
The technology is super handy, and it even allows you to customize fabric and move items around your space until you find the perfect fit all from your iPhone.
A Few Iconic Birmingham Spots Just Got an Upgrade…Thanks to AR.
We bounced around downtown from the Rotary Trail to The Roof at The Redmont Hotel to drop some of our favorite La-Z-Boy pieces in front of our favorite places. I must say, it was pretty fun to bring out my interior (and exterior) designer skills around Birmingham.
But obviously this app is for your space. Whether it’s your home or office, you can use augmented reality to see what something will look like before you buy it. Plus, it’s SO fun and super easy just to play with—even if you’re not in the market for a new ottoman.
