5 Ways AI will Transform Interior Design in the Next 5 Years

3 minute read

The future of residential interior design is looking incredibly exciting with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI). In the next five years, AI is set to transform the way we design and decorate homes. Although there is fear in the air to an extent - no-one gravitates towards change - I am keen to keep up with AI developments to enhance my work and to keep myself on my toes!

Below, with the appropriate aid of ChatGPT, I outline five ways that AI is likely to inform and transform the way we design homes:

1 Personalisation Will Be Key

In the past, residential interior designers had to rely on intuition and client interviews alone to understand a homeowner's taste and preferences. With AI, we can now also analyse data from social media to create personalised interior design solutions that reflect a homeowner's unique style. With the help of AI, we can create spaces that not only look beautiful but also cater to the homeowner's specific needs and preferences.

2 More Accurate 3D Renderings

2D floor plans and elevations showcase our designs clearly, but with AI, we can create more accurate 3D renderings that allow homeowners to visualise their spaces more realistically. This technology will allow us to catch any design flaws or issues before construction begins, ultimately saving time and money for both the designer and the client.

3 Virtual Reality Will Become the Norm

Imagine being able to step into your newly designed living room before it's even built. With the help of virtual reality, we can create immersive experiences for homeowners, allowing them to see and experience their spaces in real-time. This technology will help homeowners make informed decisions and give them the confidence to move forward with their designs.

4 Smart Homes Will Be More Integrated

Smart home technology has been around for a while, but AI will take it to the next level. With the help of AI, we can create more integrated smart home solutions that seamlessly blend with our designs. From lighting to temperature control, we can create personalised solutions that cater to the homeowner's lifestyle and preferences.

5 Sustainable Design Will Be a Priority

As a society, we are becoming more aware of the impact that our actions have on the environment. With AI, we can create sustainable design solutions that are both beautiful and eco-friendly. From materials selection to energy-efficient technology, we are now able to create homes that are both stunning and environmentally conscious.

In conclusion, AI is set to transform the residential interior design industry. As designers, we will be able to create personalised and immersive experiences for homeowners, make our designs more accurate and efficient, and prioritise sustainability. I’m embracing the change!
