Best AI Tools for Interior Design
You may not have the necessary qualifications or experience to create your own interior designs, but that shouldn’t stop you from trying out.
And that was never easier than today with the help of modern AI tools that are made for that particular task.
You got that right; there are AI tools that let literally anyone redesign any space to match their vision with simple text prompts. Better yet, these tools will also produce stunning renders of the finished design, allowing you to marvel at your own creation — which, as we’ve noted, hasn’t included any special skills.
These tools are made to enable the redesign of any space by evaluating architectural elements, detecting room type, understanding preferred design styles, and adhering to the user’s color preferences and text instructions. Heck, they work both with empty rooms and fully furnished spaces, which is amazing.
Plus, we should add that you can use these tools (at least some of them) for landscaping and patio design, with the AI taking into account elements such as lawns, backyards, pools, and outdoor furniture/appliances – from benches to barbeque setups. Amazing!
Homestyler AI Designer
👍 Pros
👎 Cons
- Easy to use, with just a few steps to follow
- Find the style that you like
- Support for different rooms
- You may still need the professional to get the actual work done
Part of the more extensive Homestyler package, Homestyler AI Designer lets everyone design his/her room with ease.
To get started, you have to an image of your room, select the style you want and the room type (i.e., living room, dining room, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, or office) — and see the magic taking place in front of your eyes.
In a matter of seconds, you’ll get an idea of what you’re room could look like, provided you have enough money to turn that photo into reality. But that’s another story.
You can even set the number of designs for Homestyler AI Designer to generate for you, and I see no good reason why you wouldn’t go for the higher number. This part of the service is free.
The more extensive Homestyler product is also available in a free tier, but that option is rather limited. Running such services costs real money, you know.

HomeDesignsAI
👍 Pros
👎 Cons
- Generates realistic and stylish design ideas in seconds
- You can share and collaborate with others
- The ability to fine-tune the strength of AI is cool
- The free plan is rather limited
HomeDesignsAI lets you redesign interiors, exteriors, gardens, patios, and terraces with AI — in less than 30 seconds. All you have to do is upload a photo, choose a mode and pick from over 40 design styles.
The tool lets you fill the room with furniture and decorations and experiment with different setups until you find the perfect one. This is great when you have an empty room and are unsure about the kind of furniture that will fit your space.
You can also show off your furniture and decor in lots of styles with Decor Staging or declutter stuff with the AI Furniture Removal tool. This applies to furniture and other objects, helping you make your room completely empty in no time. Then, you are free to redesign your room from scratch.
Finally, we would also like to mention the ability to define AI Intervention strength. You get to decide how much the AI should help — whether you want just a few suggestions or a complete makeover — it’s all up to you.
As of November 2023, HomeDesignsAI users produced half a million designs, and the numbers just keep rising.

Interior AI
👍 Pros
👎 Cons
- Allows anyone to make interior design renders
- Supports multiple rooms, modes and styles
- You can even use it for gardens and patios
- UI could be nicer (though you can get around it easily)
Interior AI lets anyone design their own interior with little effort.
To get started, you should take photos of your room, making sure it shows the entire room at a 90° straight angle facing a wall or window horizontally (there is an example you can follow). After that, you can use Interior AI to transform it into a new style.
You can also play with different modes, with each generating widely different results. For instance, the Virtual Staging mode will auto-detect the construction (like walls, ceiling, beams) and try to avoid changing it, while the Interior Design mode gives you more creative ideas. You can also use Interior Design mode and then Mix to get the original auto-masked background back.
Interior AI promises to keep your privacy protected and will, in that sense, delete your uploads and renders after 15 minutes.
Finally, the tool offers interior design inspiration to get you ideas for your home.
What can you do with AI tools for interior design?
To put it simply – you can create your own interior designs even if you have never used any software for graphics design, let alone CAD. For instance, you can:
-
Design landscapes and patios
Say you want to move outside of the house – there are tools that will let you do that as well. You will be able to add, change, or remove elements like lawns, backyards, pools, and outdoor furniture/appliances.
-
Design rooms from scratch
The AI tool will figure out where the doors and windows are and suggest different design elements based on your inputs. Obviously, you will get different design suggestions for a living room and a bedroom. And the same goes for the kids’ room.
-
Or revamp fully-furnished rooms
Again, the AI tool can figure out the furniture as well as “non-moving parts” (i.e., windows and doors) and change the look and feel of your existing rooms accordingly. For instance, you can upload a photo of your room and ask the AI to make it more modern. And voila, in just a few seconds – you will get the first draft of the new room.
-
Add interior design capabilities to your app
Some of these tools provide API access, allowing developers to add interior design capabilities to their apps and services. For instance, this could prove useful for savvy companies in the real estate market.
-
Get fancy renders
Even if you don’t plan to change your room(s), you can play with these tools to see how your home could look if some elements are changed, some removed and some newly added. It could be fun.
All in all, AI tools for interior design are already powerful and chances are they will get even better with time. Heck, we would say that even some professionals use them to make their lives easier. Try one of these app to find out why.
