The tech of the future is here now What can WE, as a furniture company, offer ID professionals what they don’t already have? Is it the connections? The skillsets? Or the type of design ideas? …Well, it’s something more than all of those combine. The Reality of Interior Design Today In today’s market, it is not uncommon for potential homeowners to request for a 3D visualization of the interior design concept of their new homes from their interior designers. Doing so allows both the homeowners and interior designers to be aligned in regards to the design concepts, furniture design and placements, as well as colour schemes for their home. In summary, it allows for both the homeowners and interior designers to agree on the “look and feel” of their new home prior to the actual renovation taking place. Sticky Situation Normally, ID professionals tend to visualize their creative outputs via 3D perspectives. The first step for this requires designers to choose the furniture of their liking from the library in order to come up with its 3D model. However, in the event that the 3D models are not available in the library, ID professionals are left with no option but to recreate the 3D models of the furniture that they desire in a 3D modelling software. This process is not only long and tedious, but a;sp incur additional expenses such as purchasing a dedicated 3D modelling software. Once the long process of completing the 3D model is done, they still have a major problem; How to ACTUALLY turn the 3D into reality. Designers usually need to scout for matching furniture in the market. Now, this may seem easier than it sounds, but it is most certainly not. They are faced with an abundant of difficulties on their search for the perfect furniture to match. Sizes. Material. Design. All three of the above needs to match so that they give out the same look. Most of your average furniture stores do not have 3D models on standby to accommodate the requests of designers, making this problem an unavoidable one. Because of this, most designers tend to go for what’s readily available from the 3D library on the internet. With repro however, we aim to change that.

How Repro helps you get what you want quicker and easier Problems commonly faced by ID professionals – long lead time for furniture delivery ID professionals, whether they are interior designers, architects, quantity surveyors, or even developers, face a common problem in their line of work. For them, completing any sort of project for clients is not an easy feat. Customers emphasize a lot on a quick turnaround time, sometimes demanding an unrealistic project completion deadline. The average turnaround time for the selected furniture to reach would probably take a few months, if not longer. This particularly long waiting time can be a major turnoff for most customers. In most cases, the last stage of the deliverables is the furniture. So, designers often scout for matching furniture last minute. Furniture stores normally don’t keep stocks for their items. The standard lead time for production is 2 months at least. So, unless with sufficient planning, projects could get delayed if furniture is not readily available. Repro furniture is all ready-stock and on standby In repro, there are more than 1000 ready-stock furniture available ranging from furniture, lighting, rug, and accessories. The best part is that they can be delivered within 2 weeks. We have furniture for pretty much everything that is needed for a whole house or an office. All of the information is listed on the website for your convenience, including stock availability, prices, colour choices. To make selection easy, we have a built-in filter function where designers are able to filter out their desired furniture based on the colours and materials they are looking for. For example, if you are a designer who is looking for a blue sofa, you can select ‘blue’ at filter column and the website will display all the blue-coloured sofa we have. Not forgetting, we also have 3D Max models which may be beneficial designers to show visual representations of their project to their customers. They are always readily available upon request. With this, designers will know the exact cost for each piece of furniture and be able to present a proposal with actual furniture models that are purchasable. The ultimate goal of Repro Project is to revitalize and reinforce to designers how easy it is to satisfy your furnishing needs for projects.

Last December, The Dodo released an article about a grandpa took his dog to the furniture store, so she can pick whatever she likes. The story gained much attention from many people around the world especially the pet-lovers community. The Dodo also attached a video showing the old man and his dog shopping for new furniture since they just moved into a new house. It is a cute video, probably why it attracts many people. His dog, Coco followed him around in the furniture store in their areas and would try to sit on the furniture like lounge chairs with Grandpa. Grandpa preferably chooses the lounge chair’s footrest that long enough to fit Coco so it can sit beside him. Thankfully, they eventually found an ideal fit for them both from the furniture store. So why are we talking about this article? Well, we noticed that some of our customers are always asking us if our furniture is pet-friendly or not, whether the fabric is washable or not since they own indoor pets. If you have indoor pets, you’ll always have to deal with pet hairs and scratches on the furniture. When you are shopping for nice home family furniture for your house and you own a pet, you better search for these five pet-friendly fabrics. Keep in mind that chenille, velvet, silk, and tweed are all fabrics you should AVOID when shopping for pet-friendly furniture. So, what are the five things you need to look for? Leather Microfibre Denim Canvas Outdoor Fabrics LEATHER Hands down, for pet owners, leather is one of the best sofa furniture coverings. Indeed with age and heavy use this long-lasting natural material actually improves. Leather is easy to keep, comes in many colors and is available at various price points.Many cool furniture designs are made of leather. Above all, leather could stand up to pets.  [Product in the picture CATE 1 & 3 Seater] [Product in the picture FK6720 Armchair & FK6720 3-Seater] Makes a good choice for people with pets because fur and hair won’t stick to it. You can simply vacuum or dust it away. However, leather does scratch. So if you own a cat, it’s better for you to trim their nails first as sharp claws can actually puncture the leather, leaving small holes. MICROFIBRE A synthetic fabric, provides another great choice for pet owners. It looks a bit like suede, is simple to clean and maintain, and wears well. Some designs are also similar with high-end contemporary furniture design. It doesn’t rip or scratch easily. Microfibre is virtually resistant to claw marks, as claws do not catch on the weave. Animal hair goes practically unnoticed, which is great if your pet is a long-haired breed. Can quickly remove accumulated hair with a lint brush or even just by wiping it with your hands. Most stains come out of microfibre with mild soap and water. DENIM Rugged, durable and easy-to-clean denim furniture makes a good choice in casual rooms. You can spot clean denim with mild soap and water or a baking soda paste.  The tight weave of the fabric makes it easy to vacuum off any stray pet hair. CANVAS  Canvas slipcovers make an especially good option in homes with pets. The durable cotton fabric doesn’t tear easily. You can simply remove the slipcover if it gets dirty and toss it in a washing machine. They are also fairly inexpensive so if your slipcover becomes ruined with claw marks or stains, replacement is much less of a financial hurdle. OUTDOOR FABRICS [Product in the picture NAI Dining Chair & ARTH Bench] Outdoor fabrics treated with stain and odour resistant protect moisture and even fend off bacteria. You could bring outdoor furniture into the house, or make slip covers to cover pre-pet purchases. So if you are shopping furniture online, keep in your mind about these five things. At Repro, we are trying to be more inclusive for both customers and their pets.  You are also welcome to our showroom at SS2, Petaling Jaya. Don’t be shy to ask us if the furniture is pet-friendly or not. Our staff is happy to assist you. Contact us or leave us a message at 03-51224759.

According to BuildingGreen, we spend most of the time by staying inside, and due to pandemic it is safe to say that we spend our time at the house rather than going out like we used to. So, it is positive to say that your color selection for your own room is very important. Other than buying furniture, you also need to take note of your color selection for the room.  You need to look for colors that match the room’s environment and furniture too. Color influences mood, it’s a scientific reality. And since the colors in which we want to live will probably influence how we behave, think and feel, when selecting the color scheme of a room, we should certainly consider the personality of color.  The question is, what room colors influence the moods?  First of all know your colors:       Warm: Reds, yellows,oranges, brown, and beige. Cool: Purples, blues, and blue-greens. Neutral: White, gray and black There are two things you should consider when you want to pick the colors of your room, which is the primary function of the room and picking the predominant color to match the room concept furniture. For example, warm tones such as reds, yellows, and oranges, and earth tones such as brown and beige, also work well both in the living room and foyer, as they encourage conversation too. Those colors are warm and radiant. Since warm colors tend to advance, small rooms appear smaller and larger rooms appear more pleasant. On the other hand, cool tones are colors with cool undertones and include purples, blues, and blue-greens. Usually they use these colors in their cool furniture. Neutral colors have a different meaning in design and include a wide variety of colors. Grays and blacks have warm or cold undertones in decoration, which usually fall into one of the above two groups.  The way you paint the room also could change the perception of interior spaces. It’s how we paint the room could enhance the high end contemporary furniture look.The architect has the right to modify important variables when designing an interior, be it artificial lighting, natural light, dimensions, or materials-with all those factors affecting the experience that the occupants would have in a room.  Below we list some options for adjusting a landscape using only colors and contrasts of material to make :  Enlarge the Space The best approach to build a sense of spaciousness in a setting is to use light colors that will reflect natural light and make surfaces look bigger to the eyes.  Compact the Space At the other side, when the aim is to make the space look more compact, smaller and more comfortable, it may work well to opt for stronger colors at wall surfaces. These can consume most natural light, giving an enclosed feeling that can be useful for certain functions. Lower the Ceiling  There are occasions when lowering the ceiling height will make the room more comfortable and offer a welcoming sensation. This feature will give the impression that the ceiling is lower when it is painted in a darker color than the walls or it leaves the material texture visible. Stretch the Space This is just the same, in other cases. There are homes whose lower ceilings give the spaces a claustrophobic feel. Painting the walls in a more dark color and leaving the white ceiling makes it feel like a higher ceiling. Make the Space Wider It is a technique typically used in corridors or small rooms. When the back wall and ceiling are painted with the same darker colors and the side walls are left white, the room would look wider and more spacious. With this way, though you have many  home furniture, your room still looks like they got many spaces left.  Narrow the Space Painting the two opposing side walls with dark colors and leaving the background and ceiling in bright white colors will make the space closer to the eyes and improve the proportions of rooms with unbalanced dimensions. Shorten the Space If you have a very large space in your home and want it to feel more close, in contrast to lighter colors elsewhere, invest in the dark tones on the back wall. Highlight a Wall It’s suggested to keep it a lighter color to highlight a wall while others have a darker tint. That is what makes the eye attracted to it. Shorten a Wall If the idea is to make the walls shorter, applying a darker shade to the bottom of the wall will work. When you are painting your room, for sure you have already decided what color to match your modern bedroom furniture sets. Or when we buy minimalist furniture online, we also want it to match the color with our room hence the reason why color plays an important role in interior designs.
