How Material Chart Drawings Work?

Material chart drawings are one of the most important—but often overlooked—parts of a successful interior design project. After your 3D design is finalized, these charts act as the official execution manual, ensuring everything you purchase and install matches the 3D visuals accurately. Even a small change in laminate shade or paint color can completely disturb the theme. Material charts prevent that from happening.

Unlike mood boards, which simply show inspiration and aesthetics, material charts are technical, precise, and execution-focused.

What Are Material Chart Drawings?

Material charts are detailed documents shared after the 3D design approval, containing every material, shade, texture, finish, and décor item used in the 3D model. They serve as a step-by-step guide for your contractor, carpenter, painter, and vendors—ensuring that the final outcome looks exactly like the design you approved.

A complete material chart includes:

• Asian Paints color codes for all wall surfaces
  
  

• Laminate brand names, series, and SR numbers exactly as used in 3D
  
  

• Tile details such as size, finish, model number, and brand
  
  

• Soft furnishings like curtains, rugs, and sofa fabrics with reference images
  
  

• Décor elements with online purchase links for easy ordering
  
  

• Lighting specifications, metal finishes, glass types, and more
  
  

It’s the most accurate representation of your final design.

Why Material Charts Are Essential After 3D Design?

1. Ensures 100% Accuracy During Execution

When you start execution without a material chart, each vendor suggests their own materials—leading to mismatched colors, wrong laminates, or cheap alternatives that change the entire theme.

Material charts prevent guesswork by giving the contractor exact “what to buy” details.

2. Maintains the True Look of Your 3D Design

3D designs take hours of planning based on color balance, textures, décor harmony, and mood.
A single wrong laminate shade or incorrect paint tone can:

• Break the theme
  
  

• Make the room look dull
  
  

• Disturb the modern/classic/luxury look
  
  

• Reduce the premium feel
  
  

Material charts ensure no element is changed unintentionally.

3. Provides Direct Buying Links for Décor & Furnishings

Instead of searching endlessly in markets, clients receive:

• Links for cushions
  
  

• Links for curtains
  
  

• Links for rugs
  
  

• Links for wallpapers
  
  

• Links for décor items seen in the 3D
  
  

This makes the entire execution faster, accurate, and stress-free.

4. Helps Carpenters & Vendors Work Without Confusion

Every professional on-site—carpenter, painter, fabricator, electrician—can follow the material chart as a guideline.

This results in:

• Fewer mistakes
  
  

• Faster work
  
  

• Smoother supervision
  
  

• No rework costs
  
  

It becomes the “Bible of Execution” for the project.

5. Saves Time, Money & Effort

Accurate materials prevent:

• Wrong purchases
  
  

• Returns/replacements
  
  

• Additional costs due to incorrect finishes
  
  

• Last-minute confusion
  
  

Material charts ensure your 3D design effort doesn’t get wasted and the final outcome looks premium and refined.

Material chart drawings are not optional—they are the heart of accurate interior execution. Whether you’re working online or offline, a well-prepared material chart ensures that the beauty, balance, and theme of your approved 3D design come alive in real life. It gives you the power to purchase the right materials, avoid costly mistakes, and achieve the exact interior you envisioned.
