Plan Smarter with Matterport’s Defurnish Feature
Matterport’s defurnish tool removes furniture and clutter from 3D scans, offering a clear, empty view of spaces. This feature is perfect for event planners designing layouts, businesses planning refurbishments, and architects visualising spaces without distractions.
Key Applications for Businesses
This versatile feature isn’t just for real estate—it’s a game-changer for industries like events, retail, and construction.
Event Planning: Venue managers and event planners can use the defurnished view to visualise layouts without existing decor, ensuring seamless preparation for events.
Refurbishment & Renovation: Facility managers, architects, and business owners can accurately measure and assess spaces for redesigns or upgrades without obstructions.
Construction & Design: Construction teams can better plan workflows and communicate project visions with stakeholders by showcasing a blank canvas.
Why Estate Agents Love the Defurnish Feature
The defurnish tool is a real asset for estate agents, helping them present properties in the best possible light. Here’s how it makes a difference:
Showcasing Potential: By removing furniture and clutter, buyers and renters can picture the space as their own. It allows them to focus on the room’s size and layout, rather than being distracted by someone else’s decor.
Polished Marketing: A clean, unfurnished look gives listings a sleek, professional feel, helping them stand out on websites, brochures, and social media.
Versatile Viewing Options: With the ability to switch between the original view and a defurnished version, estate agents can give clients a full picture of the property—both as it is now and as a blank canvas.
A Cost-Effective Staging Alternative: Physically staging a home can be expensive and time-consuming. The defurnish tool achieves a similar effect digitally, without the added hassle.
Perfect for Investors: Investors looking to refurbish or convert properties will appreciate seeing the space stripped back to its essentials, making it easier to plan their projects.
This feature not only makes properties look their best but also saves time and money, all while making the viewing experience more engaging and accessible.
Benefits of Pairing with Digital Measurement
When combined with Matterport’s digital measurement tool, the defurnish feature offers unparalleled accuracy. Businesses can measure room dimensions, calculate usable space, and plan installations or rearrangements with confidence.
Simple and Flexible Integration
Matterport’s defurnish feature is easy to use. It works with models uploaded after April 14, 2023, and can be activated during the upload process or later through the Matterport Cloud. The defurnished version does not replace the original model but exists as an additional view, ensuring no loss of original data.
