The hype surrounding AI for the past five years has fueled its impactful applications across various sectors, delivering impressive results. You can find more information about this in our blog on (The impact of AI on businesses and startups). Now, let’s have look into what AI is doing in the world of design, specifically interior design.
Here are some of the stats on How Artificial Intelligence have been effecting the designer’s market and how it can transform it.
Space Planning Optimization
AI software can analyze room dimensions, window placement, and even your lifestyle preferences to create efficient and functional layouts for you and your clients. For instance, imagine an AI tool that suggests the best furniture arrangement for a small living room to smooth traffic flow. Which is a common challenge for many house owners – Source.
Visualization with VR and AR
AI is being used to generate photorealistic 3D models of interior spaces. These models can then be explored in virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR), allowing clients to see how furniture, paint colors, and other design elements will look in their space before any renovations begin. Companies like Spacely AI use this tech to create quick and easy renderings for designers. And you can even make changing to designs in real time to see which one gives you a vibe.
Design Inspiration and Personalization
Stuck in a design rut? AI tools can generate design inspiration based on your preferences and budget. They can analyze trends and recommend furniture, color palettes, and decor that reflects your taste. For example, Collov AI allows users to explore various design styles and get personalized recommendations.
Improved Workflow for Designers
AI can automate repetitive tasks for designers, freeing up their time to focus on the creative part of the job. Imagine an AI that can handle things like furniture selection based on pre-defined parameters or generating realistic material textures for clients to finalize before production starts. You can do these types of things in literally less time than before. All tasks that can be time-consuming for human designers.
The interior design is a field constantly evolving. There’s ongoing research on using AI in:
- Sustainable Design: AI can help create eco-friendly designs by optimizing energy use and recommending sustainable materials.
- Accessibility Considerations: AI can be used to design spaces that are accessible to people with disabilities.
- Accessibility Redefined: AI can recommend contrasting colors for better visibility or layouts with wider doorways, promoting accessibility in design – Source.
- Cost Efficiency Gains: AI-powered space optimization minimizes wasted materials and faster 3D renderings lead to fewer revisions, reducing design costs – Sources.
- Privacy Considered: Reputable AI tools prioritize data security and user control to address privacy concerns (e.g., data collection, AI bias).
