Abstract: A computer-implemented method for visualizing a decorating project includes rendering an image of a building space which includes structural objects. The objects may be portrayed in the rendered image with visual characteristics that are determined by decorative materials associated with the objects and which are chosen from a database (203) by a user. The system includes a server (130) operatively coupled to a memory, a database (203), and to a network (150) over which data can be exchanged with client computers (111-113). The memory includes software instructions to configure the server to retrieve modeling software from the database (203) in response to request from client computers (111-113) and to send the modeling software over the network (150) to the client computers (111-113).
