Place furnishings

Import a piece from a manufacturer's 3D catalog — IKEA, West Elm, Herman Miller, small artisan makers, or any supplier that publishes STL or USDZ. Place it in the actual room at true scale. Walk around it, check the fit against the walls and the pieces already there, decide whether it works — before the credit card. Comparing three options side by side is a different job (see Compare product options); moving furniture around is another still (see Rearrange furnishings).
