Overview:

This project explored how AI tools can be used to support interior design decisions, helping visualise and iterate on home layouts, styles, and finishes.

Redesigning a home interior typically involves uncertainty, multiple decisions, and difficulty visualising outcomes. The goal was to use AI to quickly explore ideas, reduce decision fatigue, and create a clear direction before committing to changes.

My Role:

Designer (Personal Project)

  • Defined the scope and design direction for the interior redesign
  • Used AI tools (ChatGPT + visual canvas tools) to generate and explore concepts
  • Iterated on layouts, styles, and materials through prompting
  • Translated ideas into clear visual directions for decision-making
Tools:
  • ChatGPT
  • Figma
The Problem:

Redesigning an interior space can be challenging due to:

  • Difficulty visualising different styles and layouts
  • Time-consuming research and inspiration gathering
  • Uncertainty around how elements will work together
  • Decision fatigue from too many options

The Challenge:
  • Turning abstract ideas into tangible visual concepts
  • Exploring multiple design directions quickly
  • Maintaining consistency across style, layout, and materials
  • Making confident decisions without costly trial and error

Approach:
  • Defined initial goals (style, mood, functionality)
  • Used ChatGPT to generate ideas, styles, and design directions
  • Used AI visual tools to create and iterate on room concepts
  • Explored variations in layout, colour, furniture, and lighting
  • Refined concepts based on preference and practicality
Solution:

AI was used to rapidly generate and visualise interior concepts, allowing for:

  • Exploration of multiple design styles and layouts
  • Quick iteration on ideas without physical changes
  • Clear visual direction for each space
  • Better alignment between aesthetic and functional needs

The process shifted from slow, uncertain exploration to fast, visual decision-making.

Outcome:
  • Reduced time spent exploring design options
  • Increased confidence in final design decisions
  • Clear visual direction before implementation
  • Demonstrated how AI can support creative and spatial design processes
My Design Process:
  • Problem definition and goal setting
  • AI-assisted ideation using ChatGPT
  • Visual exploration using AI canvas tools
  • Iteration across layouts, styles, and materials
  • Refinement based on usability and preference
Product:

A concept-driven interior redesign approach using AI tools to support ideation, visualisation, and decision-making.

Outcome:

This project demonstrates how AI can be used beyond digital products to support creative problem-solving, enabling faster exploration, clearer decisions, and more confident outcomes.
