I tried 12 AI interior design tools (NOT midjourney).. Here's my verdict.

Lydia, a design enthusiast, discusses the challenges of using AI for interior design, particularly for furnishing a house or an Airbnb. She explores the capabilities of current software in generating feasible and creative designs that include real-life furniture with the right dimensions. Lydia tests 10 different online AI interior design tools, focusing on their user interfaces, costs, customization options, and the ability to purchase items from the designs. She uses two spaces in her home for testing: a living room and a bedroom, each presenting unique design challenges.

Lydia starts her testing with Room GPT and Reimagine Home AI. She notes the limitations of AI tools in recognizing certain room features and the lack of feedback mechanisms for further refinement. Despite this, she finds some designs visually appealing but not always practical. She also discusses the costs associated with these tools, mentioning that Room GPT offers a few free credits and Reimagine Home AI has a watermark on images unless paid for.

Lydia evaluates Interior AI and Kolov GPT, noting that while the designs generated are visually impressive, they often make drastic structural changes that may not be feasible. She also points out issues with product identification, where the items suggested do not match what is shown in the designs. However, she appreciates the potential of the tools when fine-tuned and the ability to generate design images that can be shopped directly.

AI Room Planner and Hestia are reviewed for their customization options and design capabilities. AI Room Planner provides quick iterations but lacks editing options, while Hestia offers a more comprehensive service that includes an AR-based measurement app for creating floor plans. Lydia appreciates the detailed setup process and the personalized design style assessment, although the wait time for 3D renders is noted.

Home Designs AI is praised for its adjustable design levers and realistic design aesthetics, while Two Tree is highlighted as a furniture shopping service that provides cohesive furniture choices based on room layout and design preferences. Two Tree's service is particularly useful for quickly furnishing properties like Airbnbs and for translating AI-generated images into purchasable furniture sets.

Lydia reviews Full House, Archie, Home Styler, and Spacely, covering a range of functionalities from furniture resale with AI-inspired choices to customizable floor planning and design idea generation. Each tool has its pros and cons, and she provides insights into their usability, costs, and the practicality of their AI features. She also discusses the potential of these tools for real estate staging and personal space redesigning.

In conclusion, Lydia summarizes her findings, noting that while AI in interior design is still in the early stages, there are useful applications for existing tools. She recommends Home Designs AI for idea generation and Spacely for its three-day free trial and good design ideas. She also suggests using Full House or Hestia for translating AI-generated images into purchasable furniture sets, depending on the budget and specific needs of the project.
