Living Room

Let’s start with the living room. For many, it’s the main place Christmas decorations should be, and so it’s always crowded with gifts and other ornaments. So space is always an issue in the living room. But look how nice, neat, and shiny my living room is after AI HomeDesign decorated it!

Dining Room

For the dining room, we want things to be jolly but not overly exciting. As a result, we don’t need many Christmas decorations here. Respecting traditions, though, we’ll keep the decorated tree, some fairy lights, and a few candles on the table. Except for these items, I’d prefer to take all decorations to other rooms. But you can have more if you like. This is how AI HomeDesign prefers my dining room for Christmas, and I love it.

Kids’ Room

Children love Christmas, and why shouldn’t they? They’re energetic and filled with hope. But, they tend to leave the house and come down with something in the cold during the holidays. To keep them inside during this time, you could give a nice Christmassy mood to their room. Believe me! The room itself becomes the main reason why they want to stay in.

Bathroom

I know it sounds weird, but believe me when I tell you that a miniature Christmas tree, some green lamps, and a few candles will go a long way in the bathroom. Your bathroom will never feel naked and soulless again. I bet if you try it once, you may even keep it that way to the end of winter, if not all year round.

The Kitchen

Don’t you adore my kitchen this way? It never crossed my mind how big a difference “Red” can make in the kitchen. And what do you think of my lovely little Christmas tree?

Bedroom

As for the bedroom, I’m truly speechless. There aren’t many Christmas decorations at all but look at that tree reflected in the mirror beside my bed. That’s going to be the first thing I see when I wake up! Talk about keeping up with the holiday spirit! And the lighting on the wall? I’ll definitely have one of those in my bedroom forever.

Mythoescape #3 (Interior Design Myths to Debunk): Interior Design is Only About Aesthetics

by Tan Tason
written by Tan Tason

Not long ago, we embarked upon debunking common interior design misconceptions in interior design. Already, we’ve learned that white walls are anything but boring, and we also came to the conclusion that to think interior design is only for the rich is nothing but a myth. Today, we’re gonna dissect another interior design misconception. “Interior design is only about aesthetics.” Let us see why many people think so and why you shouldn’t be one of them.

How We See Interior Design

For many of us (not me, of course!), interior design is just a plaything. Something that only the rich or those overly obsessed with their homes go for. A good portion of every society consists of individuals who go as far with interior design as their intuition allows, which, in other words, isn’t very far!

The reason is obvious: As humans, our ancestors learned to seek a home for shelter more than anything else. While this hasn’t changed for millennia, we discovered around a century ago that a house can be more than just a sanctuary. We learned to turn it into a nice resting place where our good self revives and the bad fades away. But, this only led to another interior design misconception, making people think that interior design is only an extra aesthetic hassle.

Interior Design: Much More Than Looks

The idea that interior design is only about appearance is way off! There’s no doubt about that, so let’s talk about five main areas where interior design has a thing to two to say!

Noise control

I’m not talking about sound insulation. That you can do on your own. The true art of an interior designer lies in the thoughtful arrangement of a space in such a way that noise is mitigated without damaging the layout of the place.

You’ve probably noticed this long ago: A vacant apartment is noisier than a furnished one. The reason? The couches, chairs, and even curtains in a furnished house absorb and scatter sound waves, not letting them stay around much. Experienced designers know how to arrange items so that they absorb or obstruct the highest amount of noise.

Accessibility and functionality

Functionality and economic use of a given space in a house are the main outcomes of interior design. Remember, aesthetics falls second to functionality.

How and where you set your furniture, kitchen table, and the rest of your stuff determines how much time you’re gonna spend on reaching from one spot to another in the house. Those extra five seconds spent on turning around the sofa to reach out to the living room window, would add up to countless wasted hours in a year and wasted days or months in a lifetime!

Lighting

Everybody knows from where and how much natural light comes in but that doesn’t mean anyone can bring the same amount of light to the house. Depending on how much natural light each room needs, an interior designer decides on the color, shape, size, and material of the stuff and the order in which they should be arranged. Believe me, they know crazy ways to bring more light into your house that you can’t even imagine!

The psychology behind it all

The furniture you choose for your home, the color it comes in, and how you put it all together affect the way you feel when you’re home. If they’re somewhat scattered around even in mildly haphazard manner, this will affect your mood without you even noticing it.

With a good design, though, there is an ever-present mood of serenity around the place that lets your mind soothe and your body rest.

Managing the budget

One interior design misconception is that it’s costly. That’s true. Although hiring an interior designer costs you, the overall cost of your design would certainly be less if you leave it to a good designer. This is because they know how to make use of every piece of furniture and, more often than not, design the house without making the owner buy any new stuff.

In Conclusion

There are certainly other reasons why we shouldn’t think interior design is only about the aesthetics. Here, we only discussed five of them as they bear more value than other reasons. In addition to these five key aspects, you should know that interior design continually adapts to technological advancements and cultural shifts, which reflects its dynamic nature beyond mere aesthetics. It is a field where functionality, innovation, and personal expression merge to make a multifaceted and ever-evolving discipline.

FAQs

The cost of interior design depends on several factors including the size of the property, where it is located, and the interior designer you hire. On average, the cost might range from $2,000 to $12,000.  To learn more, you might like to read our piece on design costs. 

Again, it depends on your experience in designing. You don’t have to be a designer of course, but you need to know a bit about ergonomics, colors, etc. You can also look for ideas using AI HomeDesign’s AI interior design service. It will let you envisage your house in different styles and various colors. Upload photos of your house, and our platform will do the rest.

Exploring ChatGPT’s Role in Modern Interior Design Solutions

by Tan Tason
written by Tan Tason

Those who are familiar with ChatGPT know it as a text generation tool that employs artificial intelligence to produce human-like responses and engage in conversations on a wide range of topics.

So, when we talk about ChatGPT interior design applications, we don’t mean a robot that designs the space for you while you’re sipping your coffee! Oh, how great that would be! No, by ChatGPT interior design, we simply delve into the different ways ChatGPT can help you with the information you need or ideas that help you come up with the best design ideas.

A Note on Interior Design

As an observer, you might think of interior design as a practice that’s all about putting different house objects next to each other in an appealing way. But if you dig deeper, you’ll learn that interior design is firmly tied to human psychology, ergonomics, and a good understanding of people’s behavior.

How Does ChatGPT Fit In?

With the above point in mind, let’s find out if ChatGPT can be of any help to interior designers.

Design inspiration

Let’s start with the simplest and most common application of ChatGPT in interior design. If you can’t come up with a good design style, you only need to provide ChatGPT with some information regarding the house and tell it what you exactly want. It will give you a bunch of ideas in a matter of seconds. Here‘s a sample prompt and ChatGPT’s subsequent response:

“I want to design a small studio apartment that has a limited space. I want styles that maximize functionality while maintaining a cozy welcoming design. What’s your suggestion?”

Design inspiration chatgpt

Depending on how specific and clear you’ve been, you might immediately like the provided solution or provide ChatGPT with more details and ask for something different.

Space planning

Space planning, in simple terms, is concerned with designing a functional and efficient layout that creates the least possible traffic flow in the house while ensuring proper furniture placement. In most cases, space planning is not such a big problem, but, as an interior designer, you will so often come across asymmetrical rooms that seem to have been built to be designers’ nightmares.

With ChatGPT, though, you can find the right design for any room in any shape. Here’s a solution ChatGPT provided for a small rectangular living room with a fireplace on one wall and a big window on another:

Of course, you can always provide it with more details and tell it more about the limitations of your space. Your AI writer companion won’t stop giving you good suggestions.

Color advice

ChatGPT is a valuable resource for interior designers seeking color advice, too. With its extensive knowledge base, ChatGPT can provide insights into color psychology, suggest harmonious color palettes, and offer recommendations for specific color combinations that align with design objectives and client preferences. Designers can use this information to create visually appealing and emotionally resonant spaces for their clients. For a vibrant, energetic playroom, ChatGPT suggested this:

Material information

Knowing what comprises the different parts of a property helps interior designers decide on space planning, design style, aesthetic considerations, functionality, etc. I asked ChatGPT to tell me the difference between hardwood, laminate, and luxury vinyl flooring, and here’s its response:

Material information chatgpt

Trend analysis

Staying informed about trends allows designers to incorporate fresh and contemporary elements into their projects, meaning that their designs remain relevant and appealing to clients who seek modern and up-to-date interiors.

“Trend insights” involves providing interior designers with information on current design trends. This includes sharing knowledge about popular styles, color palettes, materials, and design concepts currently in vogue within the interior design industry.

ChatGPT Interior Design Ideas: Five Things to Keep In Mind

When seeking assistance from AI and using ChatGPT interior design ideas, consider the suggestions below for better results.

Provide context and details

Whenever you ask a question or seek guidance from ChatGPT, give it any relevant background information or context that you think will help it better understand the situation. The more details you provide, the more tailored and accurate the response will be.

Clearly articulate your question or request

When seeking ChatGPT interior design suggestions, provide a clear and concise explanation of what you need help with or the specific question you want ChatGPT to answer. After all, it’s just a bot that has no previous knowledge of your place and only takes into account what you tell it. So, you should help it understand your needs accurately and provide a more relevant response.

Be specific with follow-up questions

If the initial response doesn’t fully address your query or if you need further clarification, don’t hesitate to ask follow-up questions. Being specific about what you’re looking for will help ChatGPT provide more precise information and insights.

Avoid ambiguous or open-ended questions

Try to frame your questions in a way that allows for a specific and actionable response. Ambiguous or open-ended questions may result in broad or less helpful answers. It’s beneficial to be clear about what you’re seeking to achieve.

Mind ChatGPT’s knowledge cut-off

Remember that in ChatGPT 3.5, the responses are based on the information available up until September 2021. If you’re seeking information or guidance on recent events or developments, you need to consult Google or other up-to-date sources or upgrade to ChatGPT 4.

Our Verdict

With ChatGPT, interior design can turn into a more enjoyable task with layers of sophistication and delicacy. Apart from your previous knowledge and experience, you can now have an excellent assistant who knows quite a lot and can help you with various aspects of interior design. It’s just all just about asking properly, and nicely, if you will!

FAQ

Not necessarily. Human creativity is always superior to artificial intelligence. For now, at least… It’s only that ChatGPT can assist us in finding good design ideas when the place we’re designing lacks certain features. At other times, we may turn to ChatGPT because we don’t know much about interior design or lack ideas in this regard. 
It depends on the type of information you want. As long as you want to learn about materials, colors, or various design styles, you can totally trust ChatGPT. But when it comes to pricing or the latest trends in interior design, ChatGPT may not be that reliable due to its knowledge cutoff. Even ChatGPT 4 may be a little biased regarding its web searches.

The Future of Home Decor: What AI Has in Store for Interior Designers

by Dario Rinaldi
written by Dario Rinaldi

Like a sapling that develops into a full-grown tree, artificial intelligence, or AI for short, is gradually expanding. Our giant intelligent friend is, however, different from the tree in two respects. One, it never stops growing, and two, it bears more than one type of fruit, if you know what I mean. One could hardly think of an industry that hasn’t been touched, if not revolutionized, by AI.

We’ll leave the search for AI-illiterate industries for another time. For now, we’re going to talk about the latest changes in interior design. We’ll explore the question of whether the idea of AI for interior designers is a promising one or is the opposite of what some have dreamed up.

Various Applications of AI in Interior Design

Before discussing the future of home design and what role AI will probably play in it, it’s important to learn about some of its current applications. This way, we’ll get a clearer picture of how capable AI is and how interior designers can use those capabilities to their advantage.

Ideas and solutions

The idea of ChatGPT in interior design has made things much easier for interior designers. Interior design demands possessing a good understanding of space and how to exploit that space to its best potential. Also, an interior designer should know a good deal about colors, lighting, furniture styles, textiles, and fabrics.

As an excellent product of AI, ChatGPT can help with space planning, color selection, and various visualizations through detailed descriptions. It can also help designers stay updated with the latest industry developments, answer specific design-related questions, and offer guidance on sustainable practices and client communication.

Automated layout suggestions

By employing special algorithms, AI can analyze the dimensions and characteristics of any given place, suggesting the best design for optimal use of natural light, traffic flow, and the intended function of the space.

Although AI is the decision-maker here, users can still input their preferences such as the style they like and any specific furniture items they want to include. Put it another way, interior designers can ask their clients about their preferred style, furniture, etc., and then ask artificial intelligence to suggest the proper layout considering their clients’ preferences.

Eco-friendly & sustainable designs

Saving the planet for future generations has been a major concern for decades now. Although interior design is rather an environmentally neutral field, it can contribute to the preservation of our habitat by adopting sustainable and eco-friendly materials and practices. Here are some ways AI helps with an eco-friendly design:

  • Energy efficient optimization
  • Smart building integration
  • Lifecycle analysis
  • Controlling/adjusting indoor air quality, and
  • Waste reduction

Education and training

In the good old days, whenever our ancestors wanted to learn a new skill, they had to look for a teacher or rely entirely on their own talent and creativity.

Now, AI is our trainer. Only it never tires, and we can attend its metaphorical class whenever we feel like it. As far as training in interior design is concerned, AI can:

  • Craft educational content to meet the specific needs and learning styles of each student
  • Provide constructive feedback on design projects
  • Simulate real-world challenges like space restrictions or budget limitations
  • Provide insights into current design styles, and
  • Guide interior design students to use resources efficiently

Redesigning and enhanced visualization

Another benefit of AI for interior designers is that it allows interior designers to create several designs of the same space, show them to their clients, and let them choose the one they like. Therefore, they know exactly what they should do to meet their clients’ expectations before any physical work gets underway.
Put it another way, AI interior design helps designers ensure customer satisfaction in advance.

While you think about that, think about this. Designing a room takes less than a minute with AI-driven platforms such as AI HomeDesign. This designing of rooms in a virtual space saves designers tons of time while ensuring that they’re on the right track.

Another way AI is helping with space visualization is by creating 3D models of spaces they want to design. This way, they can try various designs and find the most suitable one without having to leave their chairs!

Trend prediction

Knowing what will likely happen in the future means you’re more than a few steps ahead of your competitors, which is truly a big advantage in today’s fierce business landscape.

Analyzing previous interior design trends, customers’ preferences, market status, industry experts’ insights, and other socioeconomic factors, AI can predict future dominant trends that you can work on and get good at before others.

Although no tool has been specifically designed to predict future interior design trends, AI-powered tools such as IMB Watson and Brandwatch can be used for this purpose.

What Does the Future Hold for Interior Designers?

Considering the various applications of AI for interior designers, it’s easy to see that interior design, as we know it, will undergo a metamorphosis soon. To be perfectly realistic, it’s actually taking place right now. We’re witnessing a revolution in interior design that seems promising in many aspects.

AI tools will change the way designers approach space optimization, color selection, furniture placement, and so forth. There will be more room for considering clients’ preferences, who will soon be able to virtually walk through the designed property before the design is actually implemented.

AI will provide valuable data on most favorite designs and styles based on factors such as where the place is located, its type, size, etc. Also, we’ll witness a greater integration of eco-friendly materials in home design as a response to environmental concerns.

A Word of Advice for Interior Designers

The main question, though, is whether AI will eventually replace interior designers or not. While this is always a possibility, for the time being, AI seems more of an assistant than an adversary.

Interior design will definitely be an intricate but fun job that will, at the professional level, remain a realm largely navigated by seasoned interior designers. At the non-professional level, thanks to the development of AI technology, it will be an activity that many can do, enjoy, and learn from.

However, it’s important to remember that working in an AI-oriented period demands a continuously updated skill set that will help you keep up with the pace of evolving trends. This is not only about interior design. It applies to all fields and industries that have the potential to employ AI.

FAQ

For acquiring information, ChatGPT is a good choice. As for the actual graphic result, AI HomeDesign can be of great help. It’s quite functional, highly user-friendly, and truly affordable.
Not usually. They only need to follow the instructions provided by each tool which requires no special knowledge or skill.

Soothing Color Combo #2 for Interior Design: Grey and even more grey!

by Dario Rinaldi
written by Dario Rinaldi

The Queen of Colors!

The famous publisher and artist, Helen Van Wyk, once said, “Grey is the queen of colors because she makes everyone else look good.” And the more we learn about this wonderful color, the truer this sentence becomes.

Some computer programs are said to differentiate up to 256 different shades of grey. That’s a world of variety in one color that allows one to go super crazy with their interior using only one color! The great thing about grey is its change of color under various lighting! It’s literally an uncontested color when it comes to variety!

Apart from the fact that it goes perfectly well with a variety of other colors, grey can make up for a whole design alone! But that needs some knowledge of its various shades so that we know which shades to use together. Below, you can learn about some of the best grey home decor ideas that turn your interior into a haven of peace and tranquility.

Best Grey Home Decor Ideas

First things first, there is no single best grey home decor idea. There are a variety of grey combos that bring astonishing appeal to your interior. It’s just what every individual gets from a certain combo. Your favorite combo might be the next guy’s fifth preferred mixture. But one thing is sure. Everyone can find joy in grey!

Grey Interiors: Which Rooms Qualify?

The immediate answer is that all types of rooms can be grey. But we need a more detailed answer. So, let’s start with the living room.

Living room

One way you can design your living room with grey is by combining light and mid greys. They help maintain a luxe style and add considerable depth and visual appeal to your decor. Light grey walls make the perfect background for picture frames and other decorations.

It may sound strange, but grey roofs are also becoming trendy. A grey ceiling, especially ash grey, will cast a lovely bright shadow – though nothing too bright – over your interior, creating an atmosphere of safety and coziness.

As for furniture and other house items, you can pick two or three shades of grey (and you’d better consult an interior designer for this), and assign each color to a specific set of objects.

The kitchen

The first ingredient of every nice meal is a peaceful mind, and that definitely comes with a quiet, tranquil kitchen painted in light grey.

You might have already noticed that many of our kitchen utensils used daily are grey. So, why not extend that harmonious theme to the overall color scheme? By incorporating grey as the primary color, you can create a cohesive visual experience that gives you a number of reasons to shake off the exhaustion of a hard day at work and cook a yummy dish for your family.

Bedroom

We’ve already discussed the amazing effect of a grey and blue combo for the bedroom, and yet, I assure you grey can stand alone all too well and have the same if not a better effect!

If you’re seeking simplicity, any light shades of grey will suit your purpose. On The other hand, darker shades add a touch of sophistication and intimacy. Two inseparable elements of every bedroom!

Bathroom

Apart from the soothing effect we’ve been discussing, there is a special reason why grey is a good choice for bathrooms. It hides out staging, dirt, and water spots better than any color. This can make maintenance and cleaning easier, helping your bathroom to sustain its fresh and clean appearance.

Study

Unless you intend to play computer games in your study all day long, grey can give you the peace and quiet you’d expect from your study. If you ever try reading in a greyed-out space, you’ll notice how easy it is to focus. The reason is that, in a grey room, the surrounding area in your vision is neither too bright to allow for any marginal distraction nor too dark to induce feelings of heaviness or drowsiness. Eye fatigue is said to be far less likely in a grey room.

Kid’s room

Grey’s certainly not as popular as pink, red, or green for kids. We all know children like bright, jolly colors, and grey is more or less of a neutral nature. However, this neutrality gives us a few reasons to consider grey for the children’s room. For example, it makes a good alternative to pink or other colors that some boys don’t like. Also, it goes perfectly well with almost all colors, including pink.

However, there is a more important reason why you should include grey in a kid’s room. From a psychological point of view, we are advised to prepare our hearts and minds for the real world. Sooner or later, they’re going to leave their nests and see the world as it is. Not quite similar to their little painted rooms, is it?

The easiest and safest way to prepare them for the real world is by including some shade of grey in their rooms. Let them make some connections, through this magical color, to the buildings they’re going to study and work in, the subways they’re going to ride, and the hotels, hospitals, etc. they will visit. This way, they won’t feel so detached from the real world when they first step into it.

Try Gray on Your Home

Lighting and All the Shades of Grey

No matter what shade of grey you choose for your interiors, different lighting will give you a different grey! In a well-lit room with ample natural or artificial light, grey colors can appear brighter and more vibrant, showcasing their subtle undertones and nuances. Grey interiors look perfectly fine under natural or artificial light.

The good thing about grey interiors, especially with lighter shades, is that they don’t need much lighting because light grey shades possess inherent reflective properties. These soft hues have the ability to bounce and diffuse natural or artificial light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere within the space.

Maintaining Grey Interiors

A grey interior is truly easy to maintain as it looks bright and shiny all the time. Dusk, small stains, and other types of dirt can go unnoticed for weeks on grey interiors. As a result, while enjoying your bright polychromatic grey interiors, you should keep in mind to polish the walls and dust the furniture to maintain a truly clean house.

Our Verdict

There are more advantages to having a grey interior design than what we discussed here. The comfort and relaxation you get in such a design is something you MUST experience rather than hear about. Yet, to get a clearer picture of how your house will look in grey, you can see it firsthand on our platform.

First, shoot your property. Next, log into AI HomeDesign. In the “products” section, choose “interior design,” and once there, upload your photos one by one. After choosing the room type and its style, hit the color palette and choose “cool greys.” Our system designs your rooms with grey furniture, letting you realize the potential of your house with a chic, grey design.
