Artificial intelligence can make smart homes smarter, help us manage our days, and even help us plan major life changes. This series looks at the new — and sometimes surprising — ways AI is being used to enhance our lives.


It’s important to have a home with a look you love. The difference between coming home to a poorly organized setup, versus one that looks intentional and put together, can be huge. But not everyone can afford to spend cash on an interior designer.

Thankfully, with AI, you don’t have to spend that money. There are tons of great AI interior design apps to help you get the most out of your home, both when it comes to shopping for furniture and other items to round out your living space, and when it comes to maximizing the space with the items you already have.

Here’s a look at the best AI interior design apps:

Homestyler

Homestyler is one of the most-loved AI interior design apps, not only leveraging AI tech, but also augmented reality (AR), to help you visualize a design in your actual space. You can upload images of your space to place furniture, decorations, and more in, and  you can choose from a variety of styles, including Glam, Contemporary, Bohemian, and more.

Specific to AI is the fact that you can have the built-in AI Designer generate ideas of its own using your uploaded images, and based on your filters around style. You can even upload floor plans, and switch from interior designer to exterior design, so you can design every aspect of your home.

Room Planner

Room Planner is a little more minimalistic than some of the others, but that also means it’s a little easier to use, and takes less time to get to actual ideas. You can have the app maintain your room’s color-scheme, ensuring that you won’t have to start from scratch when it comes to decorations and furniture. It’s also free, and lets you generate as many images as you want. The service is in beta, so it might generate some weird ideas from time to time, but because it’s free, it’s hard to have a big issue with that.

Dreamhouse AI

Dreamhouse AI is one of the more powerful options on this list, and while it’s not free, it is considered to offer some of the best designs. The service has a very user-friendly interface, and makes it easy to get up and running quickly, with high-quality designs and inspirations you can use to create your space.

The service has a monthly and yearly plan, and if you’re moving into a new home, it’s worth signing up for a month to get ideas for all the rooms in your new home — after which you can simply unsubscribe.

REimagineHome

Perhaps you’d prefer to use a web-based app than one on your phone, in which case REimagineHome is the way to go. This service also lets you upload images of your space, and allows you to stage bare rooms, or redesign rooms that are already furnished. 

Coohom

Most of the AI interior design apps so far can generate great ideas and inspirations, but what if you want ideas using furniture you already have? Coohom has a huge library of furniture that you can match to what you own, or at least find something pretty close — so you don’t have to try and imagine what your furniture will look like in a space. You can even import 3D renders from other sources. The software is a little more advanced than others, and there’s a bit of a learning curve — but if you’re willing to spend some time learning how to use the software, you might get more personalized results.
