How to get the most out of Urban Road's View in Room App

Welcome to the future of home decor with Urban Road's View-in-Room App, a revolutionary tool designed to take the guesswork out of styling your space.

In case you haven’t come across this, our app is basically like your own try-before-you-buy tool, like trying clothes on in the changing rooms at a store! It gives you a seamless, easy way to visualise your space without making a purchase decision, all from the comfort of your home. Imagine being able to visualise how our premium artworks, vibrant posters, and plush cushions will look in your own setting before clicking add-to-cart.

Whether you're revamping a cosy corner or choosing statement pieces for your office, the Urban Road App simplifies your decision-making process by placing our extensive collection at your fingertips.

But, there are a few key things to keep in mind when you’re using the app in order for you to have the best experience. We want to make sure you not only enjoy using the app, but that you’re also happy with your purchases after seeing them as images within the app. Let’s dive right into this easy-to-follow guide.

Understanding Colour Variations – Digital vs. Reality

Ever noticed how a cushion or artwork looks slightly different online than when you're eyeing it on your couch? You're not alone – it's a common hiccup in the digital shopping journey, where the colour you see isn’t always the colour you get.

Let's dive into why this happens and how we at Urban Road are tackling it.

Why the Mix-Up?

Every device, from your smartphone to your desktop, displays colours a little differently. Think of it as each gadget having its own “personality”! This variance mostly comes down to the tech used by different brands, which means a lush forest green might look more like a sage colour on another screen.

Lighting's Role

Here’s another twist – the lighting in your room also plays tricks with colours. That gorgeous artwork might change its vibe from morning to evening due to the natural light dance throughout the day. It's all part of the colour magic called metamerism, where colours seem to shift under different lighting conditions.

Our Promise To You

At Urban Road, we’re all about making your home decor journey as smooth and worry-free as possible. We’ve put our hearts into matching our digital hues to real-life colours under typical lighting to make them as close as possible. We're constantly tweaking things to ensure what you see on-screen is what fills your space.

And hey, if things still don’t look quite right, our fab customer service team is just a chat away, ready to help you pick the perfect match for your home.

How the view-in-room app works

Ready to see how that stunning art print or super comfy cushion will look in your space? Let’s jump into how our View-in-Room App makes it a breeze to pick the perfect pieces for your home.

Here's your easy guide to turning your place into a pin-worthy pad with just a few taps!

Choosing Your Space & Product

First things first, decide where you want to add some flair. Is it that bare wall in your living room yearning for some colour? Or perhaps that cosy corner in your bedroom that’s screaming for a cushy cushion?

Once you’ve picked your spot, it’s time to choose what goes in it. With our app, you can browse through hundreds of options until you find that just-right item that calls out to you.

View & Adjust

Use the instructions on your app as a guide to view your chosen product and adjust it based on your needs.

Top tip – if you’re viewing one of our premium artworks or posters, try viewing it in a frame to see whether you want to purchase one with a frame. You can also adjust the size with ease.

When it comes to our cushions, you can now view up to two cushions at once, so you can see which ones clash and which ones go together perfectly. The best part about this? You can customise a beautiful cushion look for your bed, sofa, or armchair, letting you see what the most cohesive look is for your space.

Have Some Fun

Don’t forget to have fun with trying out different looks in the app! Experiment with different artwork styles, posters, and cushion designs. You never know, maybe you’ll fall head-over-heels with a piece that you never thought you would.

This is one of the best parts about being able to visualise items in your home – you can choose pieces you’d never normally go for, without stressing about whether it fits into your real-life space. It also means you don’t have to go through the hassle of ordering something and returning it later.

And there you have it! Simple steps to transform your home with art and accessories that reflect your style and vibe. Don’t just imagine how it’ll look – see it with your own eyes and have some fun mixing and matching until everything feels just right. Ready to give it a whirl? Your dream space is just a few clicks away!
