Pure Contemporary Provides Interactive Room Planner

Pure Contemporary Provides Interactive Room Planner - New, innovative design tool lets readers envision room designs using contemporary and modern-styled furniture elements - EAST AMHERST, N.Y., Jan. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Internationally renowned contemporary furniture designer Vladimir Kagan prefers to think of interior design as "interior landscaping." "I would never have my furniture up against a wall. My furniture floats in the center of my space like an island," he explains. But for the average home owner, creating an oasis of furniture interior space is tricky what with making sure there is sufficient space for walkways and proximity to outlets, and, not to mention, envisioning what this sea of furniture might look like. To help homeowners, Pure Contemporary (http://www.purecontemporary.com/) announces the launch of the Interactive Room Planner, an easy-to-use space planner that let's accessible from anywhere via the web. The Interactive Room Planner allows readers to build a top-down view of their rooms -- even letting them create jut outs for doorways and nooks. Then readers may start to play. Floor plans can be created quickly and easily by selecting contemporary and modern-shaped design elements from the Planner's library. The Help screens quickly teach readers how to use the Planner's tools. Readers will be able to angle furnishings just right -- and re-size them to fit their needs. When they are done with their plans, they may save them (and access them on another day), email them to friends -- or start a new room! Even professionals are enjoying the planner. Ana Francis, an interior designer with Advance Furniture, Buffalo, New York, has been using Pure Contemporary's planner to send electronic floor plans to her clients. "It's a great way to iterate client plans -- a necessary step in our business," says Francis. "I can quickly modify a plan and send it out to the client. And the top-down elevation is a great way to show traffic patterns." "Contemporary design is all about flow," explains Diane Burley, Pure Contemporary's president. "With today's wide-open spaces, furniture can be placed in conversation clusters. The planner is a wonderful opportunity for individuals (or professionals!) to imagine and envision." Use of the planner is free for those who have registered to the Pure Contemporary site.
