How AI can help redesign your home
Artificial intelligence (AI) design tools can redesign your rooms for you in seconds – all you need to do is upload a photo of your room, or supply the measurements, and marvel at how it can show you a realistic representation of how the room could look
Benefits of AI design tools 1. They can incorporate your own style
They offer personalised recommendations that match your personal style, and they can also assess the practicality of recreating a certain aesthetic in the space you’re working with providing tailored inspiration for each room of the house
3. Visualise your ideas
You may want to combine certain colours, textures, prints and materials in the room, but be unsure whether the finished look will come together.
But that’s where AI-driven virtual reality (VR) simulations are ideal. These allow users to experience a virtual representation of their design before it comes to life, helping you to make more informed decisions about the layout.
2. Use your space efficiently
It’s hard to know whether any ideas you have for your rooms will work in the space. But clever AI algorithms will take spatial constraints and user preferences into account when generating layout suggestions for different rooms
4. Make the most of your budget
Interior design mistakes can be costly. AI tools that allow you to input data like photos, dimensions and other essential details to test your ideas can help to prevent these kinds of hiccups, ensuring your project stays on budget.Some AI apps can even provide cost breakdowns and suggest the best products and materials for your budget.
Weaknesses of AI design tools
While design AI offers some amazing opportunities, like all technology, it also has drawbacks and limitations.
1. Many tools have limited functions
Many of the current design tools are limited in the capabilities they offer.
2. Ease of use varies
The usability of AI design tools varies depending on how intuitive and accessible the program is.
3. AI can’t replace an expert
While AI is becoming more capable, the technology can’t match up to the expertise of a human interior designer and should be regarded as an aid, rather than a replacement.
4. AI output is artificial
AI tools’ practical applications can be limited, and the imagery created by artificial intelligence is artificial. That means the rooms you design could be unachievable in real life.
