Wardrobe configurator

Sliding wardrobe buyers rarely choose from what's already in stock. They often come with specific dimensions, a custom niche, or a clear vision of how the wardrobe should look in their bedroom. This is where a standard catalog falls short: photos of finished products don't answer the question, "What will this look like in my room?" An online wardrobe constructor solves this problem – the buyer assembles the product themselves to their specifications and sees the final result before submitting their order.

AVADA MEDIA develops 2D and 3D wardrobe design tools tailored to the needs of furniture manufacturers and retailers. Each solution is tailored to a specific product range, product logic, and company processes.

What is a 2D/3D wardrobe constructor?

The wardrobe configurator is an interactive tool that allows users to specify dimensions, select fronts, interiors, and finishes directly on the website or in the app, and then immediately see what the finished product will look like.

• The 3D constructor displays the cabinet as a three-dimensional model that can be viewed from any angle and edited in real time – simply choose a different color for the front or change the profile type, and the changes will immediately appear on the model.
• The 2D constructor uses diagrams and pre-designed illustrations. This format is easier to implement and convenient where speed is essential: the customer specifies the width, height, number of sections, and content without delving into the 3D interface.

In both cases, the buyer receives a visual result before placing an order, and the company receives structured data for processing it.

Main features of the 2D/3D wardrobe configurator

The feature set is determined by the project's objectives and the depth of the product range. Most capabilities are available in both 2D and 3D – the only difference is the display method.

Interactive visualization of the cabinet

The 3D constructor provides the buyer with a detailed 3D model: users can rotate, zoom, change perspectives, and adjust textures and lighting. In the 2D version, visualization is based on preset views – enough to select parameters with a fast interface.

Customizing sizes and designs

The buyer specifies the exact dimensions – width, height, depth – and immediately sees the changes on the model. The number of sections and the arrangement of the cabinet elements are also customizable.

Selection of facades and finishes

The customer selects the material and color of the fronts, profile, handles, hardware, and decor. If necessary, they can upload their own texture. The price is recalculated each time parameters are changed.

Setting up internal content

The configurator allows you to customize shelves, drawers, hanging rails, shoe sections, and lighting to fit the cabinet's dimensions. In 3D, the contents are displayed inside the model with the doors open, while in 2D, they are displayed through a sectional diagram.

Calculation of assembly costs

Each parameter automatically affects the price. The buyer sees the current price at any step and selects the package without waiting for a response from a manager.

Placing an order

Once configuration is complete, the constructor generates a specification with product parameters and the final cost. The document can be downloaded as a PDF, and the assembly data is automatically transferred to the CRM or ERP.

Additional technologies in wardrobe constructors

When developing a design, you can include additional modules that enhance customer engagement and reduce the barrier between choice and purchase.

AR visualization

The augmented reality module allows a wardrobe model to be superimposed onto a real-world space using a smartphone camera. The buyer can assess the dimensions, check its fit, and compare the finish with existing furniture. A QR code for launching AR can be embedded into the configurator interface or PDF specifications.

AI-based interior visualization

Once assembly is complete, the AI module generates a photorealistic image of the cabinet in the interior – with correct lighting, shadows, and scale. The buyer sees the product in the context of their space, not an abstract model.

AI assistants

A built-in assistant helps you navigate the wide range of options: it suggests filling options based on specified dimensions, warns about design conflicts, and recommends material combinations.

Why does the furniture business need a wardrobe configurator?

Sliding wardrobe designs are commonly used by furniture manufacturers, custom manufacturing companies, dealers and retailers, as well as showrooms and online retailers.

It solves several practical problems at once:

• The buyer comes to the manager not with a general request, but with a ready-made assembly – this reduces the time spent on clarifying details;
• The visual selection of materials and options naturally increases the average bill – without pressure from the seller;
• Built-in dependency logic eliminates incompatible combinations and reduces the number of errors during production;
• The interactive format makes the company stand out from its competitors with traditional catalogues;
• Automatic data transfer to accounting systems relieves managers and speeds up product launch.

As a result, the company achieves a shorter transaction cycle and fewer returns due to discrepancies between expectations and results.

Stages of developing a wardrobe constructor

Developing a 2D or 3D configurator involves several key stages:

1. Requirements analysis. We study the client's product range and processes: what parameters are needed in the interface, how options interact with each other, and what systems the constructor should work with.
2. Interface design. We define the customer journey: the sequence of steps, menu structure, and interaction with visualizations – so that the journey from sizing to final assembly doesn't require manager assistance.
3. Visualization preparation. Optimized cabinet models are created for the 3D configurator – from scratch, from existing libraries, or based on the client's files. The models must accurately convey the appearance and load quickly in the browser. This is the most labor-intensive stage, which largely determines the project budget. For 2D, diagrams and illustrations are prepared.
4. Backend development and build logic. The server side is responsible for storing parameters, checking option compatibility, calculating costs, and integrating with external systems.
5. Administrative panel development. For independent management of product range, prices, and options, the constructor is equipped with an admin interface. All three parts of the system are developed in parallel, reducing the overall development time.
6. Testing and launch. The build logic, performance on different devices, and integration stability are checked. After this, the builder is integrated into the website or connected to the company's systems.

Technologies for developing a wardrobe constructor

Frontend: interface and visualization.
The client-side builder is responsible for what the customer sees and interacts with. AVADA MEDIA uses React, Vue.js, and Next.js to build the interface, Three.js to work with 3D geometry, and WebGL to render models directly in the browser without plugins. This allows for camera control, material changes, and instantaneous display of any parameter changes right on the screen.

Backend: data collection logic and processing.
The server side processes requests from the interface, stores models and options, calculates prices, and transmits data to external systems. Depending on the project's needs, we use Node.js, Python based on Django, or PHP with Laravel. The backend implements the entire complex layer of business logic: compatibility rules, pricing, and synchronization with CRM and ERP.

Administrative panel.
The product range and design parameters are managed through a separate administrative interface. It allows you to add cabinet models, edit options and contents, update prices, and control the assembly structure. All without contacting the developers.

Cost and timeframe for developing a wardrobe design

The cost and development timeframe depend on the complexity of the project, the level of visualization, and the number of parameters that need to be implemented in the system.

The information provided is approximate. Exact timeframes and costs will be determined after reviewing the project, the list of parameters, and the design tool's functionality requirements.

Why companies choose AVADA MEDIA

We don't adapt a universal template for every new client. The builder is tailored to a specific product: its parameters, limitations, pricing logic, and the actual sales process.

Experience with complex products. Sliding wardrobes are products with a large number of interdependent parameters. We can design the interface so that even a complex product with dozens of parameters is perceived by the buyer as a simple choice.

Performance without compromise. 3D furniture models can be heavy. We optimize geometry and textures to ensure stable performance on all devices, whether computers, tablets, or smartphones.

Integration into existing infrastructure. The builder integrates with the company's existing technology stack: it connects to CRM, ERP, inventory management systems, and other services already in use.

Self-management after launch. The administrative panel allows the client's team to update the product range, change prices, and expand options without involving developers.
