Generative AI in Enterior Design

Generative artificial intelligence is already revolutionising many industries, and interior design is no exception.

AI not only speeds up the design process, but also enables new visual solutions and more accurate designs. With this technology, designers can now create high-quality designs, model virtual spaces and even collaborate with their teams and clients in real time in much shorter timeframes. Matterport's generative AI solutions, such as Cortex AI and Property Intelligence, can help interior designers work faster and more accurately.

Enterior Design and Generative AI

Generative AI is linked to interior design at many points, particularly in the fields of space reconstruction, 3D data processing and virtual staging. AI-powered tools allow designers to easily and quickly reconstruct spaces and even create accurate 3D scans using a mobile phone. With automated scanning, even users with little technical knowledge can easily create 3D models.

AI-based solutions, such as Matterport Property Intelligence, not only automatically measure the parameters of a space, but also recognise individual rooms and areas based on the objects they contain, making it easier to develop and rethink interior design plans.

Virtual staging

With advanced virtual staging options such as those provided by Matterport, designers can give the space a realistic look, change the colours, furniture placement or even remove them from the virtual model altogether. This helps clients to better imagine possible design variations and supports the creative work of designers.

Virtual staging can be particularly useful in commercial properties, where it is difficult for customers to see what the space would look like from an empty room. With AI, designers can offer multiple options quickly and cost-effectively, even without working on site.

More efficient planning processes

Generative AI also greatly improves collaboration. The rapid generation of lifelike 3D models allows designers to share digital models with their team, resulting in faster feedback, especially for large projects or geographically dispersed teams. With AI-powered tools, designers can also quickly share a new spatial design for instant comment and modification by colleagues.

Visualisation

Visualisation is an essential part of interior design, and generative AI tools allow designers to easily change the look of a space. In a 3D model created by AI, different interior design styles, colour palettes and furniture can be tried out in the blink of an eye, making it easier to choose the best options. It's a time- and cost-effective solution that encourages creativity.

Cost optimisation

Generative AI provides accurate data, which helps avoid redesign cycles and reduces the costs associated with customer feedback. With automated measurements and rapid change options, designers can work more cost-effectively and clients can better understand the spaces they are designing. Matterport's digital twin platform allows designers to provide virtual spaces for clients and modify spaces in real time based on client needs.
