Painter's tape mockups definitely miss some details, but digital visuals can be misleading too—lighting on screens rarely matches real life. Maybe visiting a showroom or borrowing fabric samples could bridge that gap better than renders? Just thinking out loud...
"Maybe visiting a showroom or borrowing fabric samples could bridge that gap better than renders?"
Yeah, totally agree with this. Screens can be super deceiving—I remember picking out a paint color online that looked perfect, then when I saw it in person it was way darker than expected. Ended up repainting the whole room, which was a huge pain. So now I'm all about physical samples and seeing things in real lighting conditions. Even painter's tape mockups are better than nothing, but they won't tell you how textures and colors actually feel in your space. If you can swing it, definitely check out a showroom or grab some fabric swatches. Saved me from making another costly mistake...
