Shaw Contract has unveiled a new visualisation tool that allows designers to immediately see how a product will look in their space. The View in My Room feature is available to use for free on the Shaw Contract website’s mobile and desktop sites.

To begin, designers are asked to upload an existing image of their room or take a live photo.

Once it’s uploaded, select from any product in Shaw Contract’s range of Carpet Tile, Broadloom, LVT and Running Line Rug products.

You can also use the Edit Surface function to add or remove flooring from areas in your photo or the Installations function to customise your preferred installation method.

Finally, click and drag the flooring to reposition the product within your room, using the slider at the top of the screen to adjust further.

Then when you’re happy with how it looks, the View in My Room tool allows you to share your visualisation easily by either downloading an image or copying a link to send to others.

And with a click of the Product Info button, you’ll be taken directly to the corresponding Shaw Contract’s product detail page. Ready to View in YOUR Room? Learn more on the Shaw Contract website
