Furniture configurator

Furniture design requires not only accuracy, but also a high level of visualization. Wardrobe systems, kitchen sets, wardrobes, cabinet and office furniture are developed taking into account many parameters: room geometry, materials, color schemes, configurations and customer needs. In these conditions, traditional drawings and static 3D images no longer meet customer expectations. They need interactivity, clarity and full control over the result - buyers want to participate in the design and immediately see how the furniture will look in the interior and how much it will cost.

2D and 3D online furniture configurator solves this problem comprehensively, acting as an interactive sales and design system that automates key stages of working with the client. The online furniture configurator increases conversion, reduces the time for coordinating orders, reduces the burden on managers and opens up new customization opportunities.

If your business needs a furniture configurator - an online program with dimensions and detailed visualization, AVADA MEDIA team is ready to develop a 3D and 2D online configurator that integrates into your website or CRM, adapts to the catalog structure, takes into account production processes and automates sales.

What is an online furniture configurator?

3D furniture configurator is an online program that allows you to interactively create a furniture project with precise dimensions, internal content, color schemes, materials and equipment. The user can immediately see the result, interact with it, get a preliminary calculation of the cost of the project and create a technical specification for production. An individual online 3D furniture configurator can be integrated into the interface of a website, online store or business management system and become part of the design and sales system.

Depending on the type of interface, the online furniture configurator may have different visualization formats that complement each other, but do not replace each other.

• 2D configurator is ideal for step-by-step planning, when the key focus is on diagrams, measurements, element placement, and internal filling. It is especially relevant for designing walk-in closets, sliding wardrobes, modular storage systems, and kitchen sets, where strict adherence to dimensions and placement logic is important.
• 3D furniture editor adds a wow-effect, presenting a three-dimensional visualization of the future product in space. In it, you can rotate the model, scale, change materials and colors, view the design from different angles and lighting. 3D furniture configurator online is a powerful tool for communicating with the client, when the key factor in choosing is the appearance and compliance with the interior.

The main advantage of both formats for the end user is the possibility of direct interaction with the order without the participation of a designer or manager. Your client gets control over the process, and you get structured and correct orders, ready to be transferred to the production department or ERP system.

Advantages of using an online furniture configurator

Implementing a 2D and 3D editor for furniture design brings a number of strategic benefits to the business, becoming part of a digital sales funnel and an effective operating model.

1. Increase in conversion and average check. The furniture configurator becomes an entry point into the sales funnel. Instead of passively browsing the catalog, a potential client receives an interactive experience: he is involved in the process, independently selects design parameters, sees the result, the preliminary cost and forms an application. This lowers the entry threshold, increases the conversion rate and does not require the participation of a manager. In addition, clients are more willing to add options and improvements, seeing them in the context of their project, which directly affects the growth of the average check.
2. Optimization of the sales department. The online furniture configurator implemented on the site partially takes on the functions of a measurer, consultant and designer. The manager is connected at the stage of confirming the deal, and not at the preliminary discussion or creation of the project. Thus, using the configurator reduces routine operations and the time for processing applications, allowing you to process more orders without expanding the staff.
3. Shortening the transaction cycle and scaling. Automation of all stages of the transaction allows you to significantly shorten the buyer's journey, enter new markets without opening additional branches. In addition, the 3D online furniture configurator is easily scalable when it is necessary to introduce new product categories or distribution points without global changes in the architecture.
4. Minimization of defects, errors and returns. Errors in measurements, module compatibility or configuration related to the human factor are practically eliminated. An individual furniture design program can validate the selection of elements, prevent technically incorrect combinations from being assembled and automatically check the admissibility of dimensions. As a result, the number of errors, clarifications and conflicts with the customer is reduced.
5. Integration with internal systems. A properly designed configurator becomes part of the company's digital infrastructure, as it can integrate with other systems: CRM - for capturing leads and tracking the history of interaction with the client; ERP system - for automatically obtaining current balances, prices and product parameters; production modules for generating specifications, working drawings and technological maps; online calculator for calculating the cost - this allows you to take into account discounts, markups, contract terms and other commercial parameters in real time. Integration allows the configurator to move from an isolated module to a full-fledged element of the company's digital architecture.
6. Increasing competitiveness and strengthening the image. Developing a 2D and 3D configurator for furniture demonstrates business maturity, customer orientation and technological sophistication. This is an important indicator for retailers, franchise chains and manufacturers operating in a highly competitive environment. By implementing advanced digital tools, you stand out from your competitors, positioning yourself as a modern company focused on customer convenience.

Functionality of the furniture design program

The functionality of a 2D and 3D configurator is determined not only by the visual part, but also by the depth of the logic embedded in the system. Our team creates intelligent furniture design programs that combine design flexibility, technical accuracy, and the customer's business logic.

Key features that can be implemented within the framework of individual development of a furniture configurator:

• Interactive parameter setting. You can specify the width, height, depth of the product, select the configuration of modules, filling, fittings, facade materials and other characteristics. At the same time, the system checks the technical admissibility of the entered data and offers only compatible solutions.
• Dynamic 2D and 3D visualization. Any changes are immediately displayed on the screen - in a two-dimensional plane (2D) or in a three-dimensional model (3D). The user sees how the product looks with the selected parameters, evaluates proportions and color combinations in real time.
• Automatic cost calculation. The system takes into account the cost of materials, components, accessories, markups, contract terms or discounts, if any. Thanks to this, the final price is visible at each stage of the configuration - transparently and without waiting for a calculation from the manager.
• Specification generation. After the design is completed, the system can generate technical specifications: detailing, cut map, specifications for modules and fittings. This data can be exported in a convenient format or transferred directly to production systems.
• Integration with catalog and databases. Thanks to the integration option, the online furniture configurator can synchronize with real balances, current article numbers and pricing logic. This eliminates errors when selecting unavailable items, the need to update data and ensures calculation accuracy.
• Support for custom scenarios. The system can be configured for different types of users: end users, dealers, measurers, managers. Each scenario will have its own interface and set of functions - from simplified to professional design.
• Adaptability and cross-platform. The furniture creation program works in the browser, displays correctly on any device, and can be integrated into a website, online store, or management system.

Types of furniture configurators

The format and logic of the furniture configurator directly depend on the furniture category for which it is intended. Each direction has its own specifics: for example, an online kitchen set configurator requires more accurate geometry and reference to the room, and for the design of hinged cabinets and sliding wardrobes, flexible modularity and a variety of facades are important. Our team develops specialized 2D and 3D configurators for specific product groups, taking into account all technological and commercial features.

Online kitchen configurator

Kitchen sets are one of the most complex areas in furniture design. The kitchen has high requirements for functionality, it is important to take into account ergonomics, the location of equipment, engineering conclusions and even scenarios of everyday use. This is especially true for small spaces, where every centimeter is important. The 3D kitchen configurator online solves all these tasks clearly and accurately.

Using the online kitchen furniture configurator, the client can, with the help of a manager or independently on the website, set the key parameters of the object:

• choose the dimensions of the room and create a layout (straight, corner, U-shaped, etc.) with the location of walls and windows;
• select and arrange modules (cabinets, pencil cases, pull-out systems);
• select accessories, facades, color of countertops and apron;
• automatically check the correctness of the configuration (for example, exclude incompatibility of elements in height or depth);
• display the general view of the kitchen in 3D and the plan in 2D projection.

Thus, using visualization, you can accurately model the set, choosing any details - from the color of the facades to the internal filling of drawers and storage systems.

In addition, the 3D kitchen editor allows you to test the location of appliances: oven, sink, hob, refrigerator and hood, taking into account convenience and ergonomics. The result is not just a beautiful 3D kitchen model, but a technically accurate project with ready-made specifications for production: cutting, milling, drilling, selection of fittings, cost calculation.

For the manufacturer, the 2D/3D kitchen configurator is an online tool for automating orders and reducing errors. For the client, it is an opportunity to create the kitchen of their dreams even before it is manufactured, seeing all the options on the screen. This significantly speeds up the process of project approval and reduces risks.

Online cabinet configurator

Wardrobes are the most popular category of cabinet furniture, with many nuances and requirements. The online wardrobe configurator will become a key tool for implementing an individual order: it allows you to specify exact dimensions, determine the internal structure (shelves, rods, drawers), select materials and configure fittings, handles, type of facades and even the opening system. Real-time visualization helps the buyer see how the wardrobe will fit into the interior, and the manufacturer immediately receives data for cutting and assembly.

The configurator allows you to flexibly set parameters: width, height, depth, number of leaves, type of hinges, material of facades and even the shape of handles. The online hinged wardrobe configurator is suitable for both classic free-standing and built-in models. Such detailing is especially necessary when working with individual projects, where every little thing is important.

Corner cabinet configurator online

Corner, especially sliding models, require special attention to space planning. The online configurator of a corner wardrobe can precisely adjust the parameters to the specific geometry of the room: choose a shape (L-shaped, trapezoidal, radius), calculate the depth and width of the side sections, adjust the location of the internal filling. This tool greatly simplifies the design of furniture in non-standard interiors.

When designing such furniture, accuracy down to the millimeter is required. The 3D configurator of sliding wardrobes eliminates errors and mistakes. It also allows you to choose sliding systems, profiles and guides, material and color of facades, mirrors and glass inserts, photo printing and decorative panels. Such detailing gives the user a fully personalized result, and the manufacturer an automated design process and an accelerated path from order to product release.

Online dressing room configurator

Wardrobes require a special approach - flexibility of filling and the ability to assemble an individual storage system for any size are important here.

An online 3D/2D dressing room configurator usually includes:

• choice of dressing room shape (linear, angular, U-shaped);
• editing the grid of vertical posts and mounting elements;
• choice of modules: open shelves, baskets, trouser racks, shoe sections, pull-out mechanisms;
• display in 2D with accurate dimensions and in 3D for visual assessment.

Your online custom wardrobe configurator can work with mesh, aluminum, and cabinet systems, each of which has its own calculation and configuration restrictions.

Cabinet furniture configurator online

This category includes a wide range of products: chests of drawers, cabinets, display cases, writing and TV tables, shelving, modular storage systems. In the 3D cabinet furniture configurator, the key features are:

• choosing a basic module or template from the collection;
• setting the sizes, number of drawers, shelves, doors in the online configurator of a rack or cabinet, for example;
• editing the opening direction and handles;
• automatic display of design changes in 3D.

Cabinet furniture is often assembled from standard modules, so the online configurator of tables, chests of drawers, beds, and bedside tables usually includes ready-made templates and parameter restrictions. This approach allows you to quickly assemble projects, automatically check the compatibility of elements, and accurately calculate dimensions and cost.

Online configurator for office and retail furniture

In the B2B segment (office, HoReCa, retail furniture), online furniture configurators solve the problems of large-scale and flexible design. They allow:

• arrange workplaces, reception desks, modular systems for open space;
• customize the colors, sizes, and shapes of countertops, partitions, and supports;
• display several options for placing furniture in the room at once;
• form sets based on typical sets (for example, “manager’s office” or “operator’s workplace”).

For corporate clients, it is important that all parameters comply with regulations, and specifications can be immediately transferred to a tender application or internal procurement system.

Stages of developing a furniture configurator

Creating a furniture configurator is a complex sequential process that includes several stages.

1. Requirements analysis. Designing a 2D/3D furniture configurator begins with an analysis of the customer's requirements, the characteristics of the assortment and the business model. It is important to understand what categories of furniture are planned to be created, what parameters are critical for the calculation, and what the user scenario should be - from the first interaction with the interface to sending the order to production.
2. Interface and scenario design. At this stage, we develop UX/UI, visualize possible user actions and configuration options. Then, we create interactive prototypes of the user interface to align it before writing the code – taking into account screen sizes, ease of parameter selection, navigation logic, and interface feedback. Prototyping makes it possible to test key scenarios, such as assembling a kitchen in a limited space, adding facades to a hinged cabinet, selecting a corner segment, etc.
3. UI design is the visual style of the interface, buttons, selection elements, fonts, icons, color palette and behavior of elements when hovering and selecting. We take into account the brand's corporate identity and adapt the interface to different devices: from mobile to desktop.
4. Application development. After agreeing on the design and prototypes, we proceed to developing the configurator's software code. Depending on the task, we use tools such as WebGL, Three.js, React, Vue, Babylon.js to implement the project, and also develop our own platforms from scratch if the configurator requires special logic. Front-end developers create a modular structure of the application, integrate graphics, configure parameter restrictions, optionally implement mechanisms for calculating sizes and specifications. Back-end developers form a database with templates, assembly rules and visual elements. Upon request, the furniture configurator is connected to a database, ERP/CRM systems, a cost calculator and application generation. It is also possible to implement a user account in which the client can save projects, return to them later and place an order.
5. Testing and launch. Before launch, we conduct functional and load testing, check the accuracy of calculations and constraints, and also test the mobile version and cross-browser compatibility.
6. Support and development . After the release, we can support the project: connect other modules, series, colors, adapt the configurator for new markets or retail chains, optimize performance and expand functionality as the business develops.
