AI interior designer: chat about your own room, then redesign it

A real run

From a question to a redesigned room

How can I make this room more modern?
  • Swap the traditional lamp for a sleek black arc floor lamp to introduce a sharp, contemporary silhouette.
  • Replace the wooden coffee table with a low, rectangular piece in matte black or grey to ground the seating area.
  • Update the rug with a solid, geometric pattern in neutral tones to create a cleaner visual foundation.
  • Declutter the TV stand by hiding wires in a cover and using uniform boxes for electronic devices.

This room has a wonderful, cozy foundation with its warm wood floors and natural light. To elevate it into a cohesive design while respecting your constraints, I recommend a Coastal Serenity style. This approach uses a soft, airy palette and organic textures to create a peaceful, light-filled atmosphere.

  • Color Palette: Shift to an airy mix of crisp white, soft sand, and pale seafoam green. These colors will open up the space and enhance the natural light coming through the window.
  • Furniture Selection: Replace the current black-framed art and any dark accents with lighter alternatives like brushed brass, white, or cream materials. Introduce a plush, linen sofa in a neutral taupe or oatmeal to complement the existing wood tones.
  • Lighting & Textiles: Swap the current rug for a lighter, woven jute or sisal rug to keep the floor looking bright and airy. Use sheer linen curtains to diffuse the sunlight gently, creating a soft, dreamy glow.
  • Decor & Storage: Swap the plant for a ceramic vase with dried botanicals or a sculptural piece in white or cream. Add a low-profile, light-colored storage console or sideboard to keep the area clutter-free and uncluttered.

After

This is the unedited text of a real run of the app's chat prompt on an AI-generated example room (formatting marks removed, and the first answer shortened to 4 of its 6 bullets). The last image is the room after applying the Coastal Serenity style: note that the redesign changes furniture and decor, as any redesign does, while keeping the window, doorway and floor.

How it works

How the AI designer works

  1. 1

    Open your room photo and start chatting

    Open a room in the app and tap AI Interior Designer. The chat looks at that photo. You can start from a suggestion, such as "Give me interior design suggestions for this room" or "What colors would work best in this space?", or type your own question.

  2. 2

    Get short, practical answers

    Replies are short bullet points about your room's layout, colors, lighting and furniture, followed by three follow-up suggestions you can tap. Your conversation is saved with the photo.

  3. 3

    Turn it into a style and apply it

    Ask it to generate a new style and it creates a named custom style with a description and an avoid list. Tap Create & Apply This Style and your room is redesigned in about 30 seconds, keeping its walls, windows and layout.

Getting good answers

How to get useful advice from an AI designer

Ask about your actual problem

"The room feels dark" or "the sofa looks lost" gets more useful advice than "make it nice". The chat is at its best on a specific question.

Put your "no" in the same message

Each reply is based on your photo and your latest message. If you do not want plants or a certain color, say so in the message where you ask for a style, and it will be added to the style's avoid list.

Check the advice against your room

The chat is an AI and can misread a photo, for example by guessing the wrong material or missing something small. Treat suggestions as ideas to check against your room, not as facts.

Use the follow-up suggestions

The three suggestions after each answer are quick ways to go deeper, such as asking for lamp ideas or what a paint change would do, without typing.

Render a style before you buy anything

Apply the style it creates to your photo first. Seeing the palette in your room is a cheap way to find out if you like a direction before spending money.

Compare with a human when it matters

For structural changes, tricky layouts or a whole-house project, a human designer can measure, plan and manage the work. Use the chat to arrive with clearer ideas.

Questions

AI interior designer: FAQ

What is the AI interior designer?

It is a chat in the Decoratly app that looks at a photo of your room and answers your questions with short, practical design advice. You can also ask it to create a custom style and apply that style to your room photo.

Does it see my actual room?

Yes. It looks at the photo you have open, so its answers are about your room, not a generic one. Like any AI, it can misread a photo, so check its suggestions.

Is it a real interior designer?

No. It is an AI that gives ideas from a photo. It does not measure, plan structural changes or manage a project. It works well for exploring directions before you spend money or hire a professional.

Does it remember what I said earlier?

Each reply is based on your photo and your latest message, so it does not carry earlier messages forward. If you want to avoid something, say so in the same message where you ask for a style. Your conversation is saved with the photo so you can read it again.

Can I tell it what to leave out?

Yes. If you say "no plants" or "no black furniture" when you ask for a style, the style it creates has an avoid list with those items, and the redesign is told not to include them. Image models can still slip, so check the result.

How is the style turned into a redesign?

When the chat creates a style, tapping Create & Apply This Style redesigns your photo using the style's description, its elements and its avoid list. Your room's walls, windows and layout are kept.

Is it free?

The AI interior designer is part of Pro, a one-time payment of $14.99 for 30 days with nothing renewing. You can try Decoratly first with 1 free style redesign and no signup.
