if you’ve ever been curious about AI room design generators today I’m going to be trying out nine different AI home decor programs to see which one is the best and I’m going to share all of my findings in today’s video today I’m going to tackle a challenge that is probably familiar to a lot of you rearranging a tricky living room layout here’s my living room currently it is long and narrow as you can see I have a conversation area kind of cozied up around the fireplace I’ve tried a few different layouts in this room over the years and I don’t think any of them have quite hit the Mark so today I am hoping that AI artificial intelligence can maybe give me some new ideas A New Perspective I don’t know it’s worth a shot I went to Reddit to see which AI programs people recommended the most so I am going to try all of them see if any of them are actually any good to help us come up with some design ideas so let’s get started first up we have decor.com this site is very simple and user friendly I can log in within seconds using my Google account then you simply upload a photo of your current face so I’m going to upload this photo of my living room and then I’m going to choose the makeover option there’s a couple different options the makeover option looks like it’s going to actually rearrange my furniture and give my room sort of a virtual makeover I like that you can choose different spaces so I am choosing the living room option and then I am just clicking on it and I’m waiting to see what this AI comes up with decorate can take up to 2 minutes to render your design all right so check out how decorate styled my space I’m a little surprised that it kept my furniture in the exact same place so that is not helpful for me whatsoever it basically just swapped out all the colors in my accessories since I’m not too thrilled about how decorate did this makeover I’m going to pay the $3 to get a free pass for 24 hours and see if these extra options make this virtual makeover a little bit better plus I’m going to upload a different photo of my room which I think shows more of the layout of the space I’m choosing the make over option once again and then this vintage style option so I like that I’m now able to choose a different style for my space and then I’m waiting for the rendering and here is the result of the paid option again I’m not really seeing a lot of interesting ideas in this space I do like how they suggested to put a wardrobe here on this wall which could or could not work with where my living room windows are I like how they suggested doing a little bit of a layered table situation in the middle but really there’s really nothing else that I love so this one I mean it’s super userfriendly but I mean not that impressive so let’s go to the next one next up we have ai room planner I’m going to try to share mostly free options and a couple of paid options here too so this is another free option site claims to give you hundreds of room design ideas for free which is fantastic let’s check it out again I am just simply using my Google account to sign in it’s very quick it’s very easy and then I can upload a photo right away and I like how this one lets you pick a style right away so I’m going to choose the farmhouse style which out of all these choices is probably the most similar to my own Decor style and the results on this one are super fast so check out the side by side before and after comparison this one is interesting while it did play with my layout slightly it added some really strange elements like this lumpy little chair I do like how it suggested to add a larger coffee table and how it styled the vases on my fireplace I also like the simple lamp idea in the corner so some good ide ideas there but still like not the best rendering next up I am going to try a site called room AI this one claims to turn your ideas into professional interior design images with easy to use AI software I like that it has all of these mainstream interior design styles to choose from so I’m going to choose transitional which is exactly my style that beautiful blend of traditional and modern I’m uploading my living room photo once again and it generates my AI design really quickly I love how this one suggested that I style my sofa how to style the coffee table and how it added some contrasting cushions to my sofa however once again it is not doing any major moving of my furniture which is really what I need the help with here again another AI program that isn’t that helpful for actually moving my space around now let’s see what rooms gp. has to offer this AI is yet another one that lets you upload your interior photos and give you some interior and exterior design ideas I can sign sign in quickly again with this one with my email address and start with my free design generation I like that this one lets you not only choose a design style that you like for your rendering but also a designer so I’m going to choose the Joanna gains option because of course I love her modern farmhouse style and all of the newer sort of modern Cottage styles that she’s come up with I’ve uploaded my image and here is the rendering that rooms GPT has come up with I mean look at this it is such a bad rendering this one makes me laugh so hard because it’s absolutely ridiculous there’s chair legs and table legs everywhere everything’s all smushed together it just looks like someone tried to draw my room with their eyes closed so needless to say I will not be trying this site again all right so on to ZM o. a this site came highly recommended by several redditors so my hopes are really high for this one let’s let’s give it a try I can choose my space and my design style so I’m going to choose this country house style which I think is going to be kind of like my own Farmhouse transitional style and here is what a zmo came up with I’m getting a little frustrated here because none of these programs are actually rearranging my furniture they’re basically just putting uh a different style on my current layout which isn’t really what I’m looking for here this one is no exception it is definitely unique it’s suggesting that I put wood paneling everywhere which is I mean I guess that is true country style maybe if you live in the ‘ 80s or ’90s and there are a lot of rustic elements in here too but this is definitely not my style so just for fun let’s try this sweet style and see what it comes up with and this is even worse it looks like maybe I walked into a candy store version of my space or maybe like a circus themed version of my space with all of these bright colors so I mean good for laughs and some entertaining but definitely not something that’s going to be inspiring me to redesign my space playground AI is another AI generator that came highly recommended on Reddit so again fingers crossed hopefully this is the one that’s actually going to give me some design inspiration here what I like is that I can actually write a prompt for my design which I’m hoping is going to give me some more unique and individualized ideas for my finalized design rendering after writing my prompt I can upload my living room image and let’s see what this one comes up with so while this final rendering has some issues like a chair and a love seat too close together I mean it has some decent ideas I’m so happy that I’m finally finding an AI that actually moves my furniture around which is what I was looking for I like how in this one they’re suggesting the sofa goes on the opposite side of the fireplace so putting that on the left with some chairs on the right that might kind of freshen up my space and fill in that side a little bit better so just for fun because this one has a bit more promise I’m going to upload that other image of my my living room and see what it comes up with this design also has some interesting ideas with my sofa facing the fireplace and I’ve tried that layout before but I mean it’s worth a shot again soz I’m kind of liking how this is looking but you can definitely see some issues again like a double fireplace in this space which we don’t have we’re not going to ever do that and a funny little chair on the right however overall this has been my favorite software so far because it actually is igniting some ideas in me for my space next I’m going to try Zona AI after uploading my photo I can once again see a couple of different design renderings for my space Zona AI actually made me really think about using some more color in my space once again I really love these yellows and all this color in here super fun and it also had some good design ideas some layout ideas like I love the idea of cozying up a chair by the fireplace like in this design however once again we’re seeing those traditional AI glitches like a double coffee table and just a wacky fireplace design in the second image now we have designed by ai. this one I did have to pay to get one rendering and that was around $13 Canadian so it’s not free so I’m hoping that because I have to pay for this one it’s going to give me some Amazing Ideas after I uploaded my image and chose my design style I did have to wait about 3 hours for the final renderings to be uploaded into my account but I mean there are tons of files here so I’m very hopeful to see that maybe there’s something in here that’s going to give me some design inspiration I was able to describe every detail that I’m hoping for in the space in the written prompt so I’m really hopeful for this one now as hideous as these designs are I mean they look like really bad drawings and they’re all just sort of like different drawing Styles I mean there are some good ideas in here I guess like the facing love seats I mean that’s a good idea and something maybe all incorporate in the future in the space however most of these photos are an absolute hot mess I mean again they’re more for entertainment and maybe if I want a little bit of a laugh and they’re not really offering any valuable design inspiration for me a lot of them honestly just look like they took my original photo of my living room and just put it in a blender and then here’s what they came up with I did like how this one design image had the idea of the TV on the cabinet on the left which is something I’ve never thought of so that could be an interesting way to incorporate a TV into the space if we ever wanted to in the future now let’s open up mid Journey mid Journey is another AI photo program not just for interior design but for rendering any types of photos or illustrations I’ve played with this one actually quite a lot and let’s see what it comes up with for my living room space you do have to pay monthly for this one so this one also is around $13 Canadian per month but I do think that it’s worth it for what I do you access this one through Discord so if you already use Discord it’s really handy that way if you don’t use Discord it’s a little bit of a learning curve so probably not as user friendly for you as the other ones which were more simplistic but I do find that this one has a lot more options once you can figure out how to use it in the Discord server I do have a full tutorial on how to create design renderings in mid journey I will leave a link to that down in the description box below if you want to play with that I just recently learned that you can upload photos of your interior spaces into a Discord server copy and paste the URL of that image and then use that write a prompt so I’m going to write a prompt of kind of what I want to see in my living room hopefully and then send that to Mid Journey so it comes up with four different images and look how beautiful these are this program does not disappoint again I actually like the ideas that mid Journey comes up with usually I mean just like any other AI program if you look closely you’re going to see quirky and wrong things like lumps and places there shouldn’t be in double lamps and things but overall it is giving me some really interesting ideas for my living room layout I also like that it has relatively normal looking furniture and accessories where some of the other programs just are not giving me that I like how mid journey is suggesting to put my sofa on the left of my fireplace and that was something that playground also suggested so I might try that out in my space because I love this program so much I’m just playing with it and trying some different prompts uploading my different image and here are some more living room design ideas that mid Journey has come up with for me obviously I’m not going to utilize every single element but I just like how it sort of Sparks my own Crea ity and I can take these ideas make them my own and try some of them out in my space I like how this rendering suggested a built-in coffee bar area on the left hand side which is something that I could DIY in the future so that’s kind of a fun idea and I also like how mid Journey comes up with those four different images you can pick your favorite one you can ask it to give you variations of that favorite one or you can zoom out zoom in there’s just lots of different options in this program even though this one is not perfect it’s probably my favorite design idea so far it’s really simple but I love the sofa on the left hand side the larger coffee table centered in front of the fireplace and I love all the simple flowers on the coffee table so let’s move my living room around a little bit using this as inspiration and see how it looks so here is how my living room look using that mid Journey AI image as my design inspiration let me know what you think of it down in those comments below just some subtle changes because I don’t want to go and buy new furniture or accessories for my space but I do really like how this turned out and it’s always fun to refresh your space with what you have by just rearranging your furniture and accessories around I’d also love to hear which of these nine AI image generators design generators you like the best if any I know that there is a lot of controversy over AI but I personally am not concerned about AI taking over any interior designer or home decorator’s job I think like a lot of technology I think AI is a good tool to help you maybe when you’re in a design rut or maybe maybe to give you some inspiration like a magazine like a book like someone that’s just helping you along but ultimately it’s your own creativity imagination Ingenuity hard work that is going to create a beautiful space for yourself for your family for clients for friends and I don’t think creativity will ever run out and I think creativity and Imagination is just like any other muscle in your body the more you practice using it the better you’ll get and the stronger your creativity and Imagination will be speaking of Home Decorating I have learned a lot about interior design and Home Decor over the last several years I have some really simple basic interior design rules that I want to share with you so that you can incorporate them into your own home I’m going to leave that video for you to watch next right up here

  1. Your original layout was quite good. Those AI things were more for styles than for layout. I would think there might be a program for floorplans. Fact is your basic layout is spot on – whether the sofa is on the window side or the chairs – it's still the basic layout promoting ease of moving about. One of the common errors is to shove sofas under windows. Your arrangement did not present a problem b/c you left a nice aisle in front of window. Only thing I would have done was center the green console on that wall – instead of pushed to corner.

  2. Playground ai doesn't seem to have a room decorating function at all. Has anyone found this? It's all creating images

  3. Which site to check out where I upload pic of the exterior of the house and the site renders or regenerates nice colors for the house pic?

  4. I appreciate you taking the time to evaluate all of the options for decorating with AI available now and sharing. I think you made all the right calls on the apps/websites. You’ve saved me a lot of time by putting this together. Thank you!

    Also, very nice video, thoughtfully done.

  5. ChatGPT actually does a good job imo. Not necessarily rearranging furniture, but it will give you suggestions and examples. It will even look for products online. It found a great painting for my room on Etsy of all places 😂

  6. I knew at some point you were going to say something about Joanna Gains and sure enough, 4 mins in you did. I immediately turned your video off. She and her husband are total hack and if you think there’s something redeeming about them, obviously you know nothing either. Farmhouse sucks and is done!!

  7. GenAI is based on stolen datasets and is unethical. I won't even get into the environmental nightmare it is causing. Not worth stealing other people's intellectual property and destroying the planet just so you can get a few, not-very-good design ideas for "free."

  8. Great video. I had no idea these things were available. I tried Xona and hit a paywall. No free tries anymore?!?! Thanks for all the information and inspiration!

  9. Shouldn’t Decorately have 2 Es in it so the A says its name? Not your fault, just don’t understand the brand’s marketing. Wait—AI spelled it, lol

  10. The room photo you uploaded shows just a corner of your room. You should have uploaded a better photo with a wider angle, to show more of your room. And then the websites would have had more area to work with and render.

  11. your rooms are beautiful!! I got inspired by seeing them… also this helped make the ai tool less scary, and gave me an understanding of how it could be used. Idk if it's worth subscribing to mid journey right away as a new decorator.
