How to Use AI for Interior Design

AI speeds up interior design by letting you generate rooms, edit photos, and preview layouts—all in one editor. BasedLabs.ai combines text-to-image, image-to-image, inpainting (Magic Brush), and video tools so you can go from idea to presentation without switching apps. This guide shows you exactly how to use AI for interior design on BasedLabs.ai.

Minimalist Living Room

Why AI Makes Sense for Interior Design

  • Fast Concept Generation Enter a clear prompt (for example, “modern living room with neutral tones and floor-to-ceiling windows”) and get realistic designs in seconds. No manual sketching or mood boards needed.

  • Realistic Photo Editing Upload a photo of your existing room, remove or replace elements (furniture, flooring, decor) with the Magic Brush in just a few clicks. The AI handles shadows, lighting, and textures to keep everything looking natural.

  • Instant Previews & Walkthroughs Instead of imagining a new sofa or wall color, see a mockup right away. You can even generate short video previews of your space to check flow and scale before making real-world changes.

  • Save Time & Money Test layouts, color palettes, and materials virtually. No waste on sample purchases or expensive 3D software.

BasedLabs.ai Tools for Interior Design

  1. Text-to-Image

    • What it does: Turn a text prompt into a full room design.
    • How to use: On the AI Interior Design Generator page, type your prompt into the “Enter your prompt here…” field and click Generate.
    • Result: Several AI-generated room renders you can download or refine.

  2. Image-to-Image

    • What it does: Apply a new style to your existing room photo.
    • How to use: Upload a photo with the “Drop a file or click to upload” area. Then choose Image-to-Image from the top-left dropdown. Enter a style prompt (e.g., “light Scandinavian kitchen”) and run the model.
    • Result: Your original photo restyled to match the new design language.

  3. Inpainting (Magic Brush)

    • What it does: Remove or replace specific parts of your room photo.
    • How to use: In the editor, select Magic Brush (inpainting). Paint over the area you want to change (e.g., a dated couch). Enter a prompt like “replace couch with a gray mid-century sofa” and hit Generate.
    • Result: That area updates seamlessly—no messy cut-and-paste.

  4. Video Generation

    • What it does: Create short walkthroughs or animated previews of your designed space.
    • How to use: Once you have a final image or 3D-style render, switch the top dropdown to Kling v2.0 (Image-to-Video). Choose a camera motion (e.g., “pan left-to-right”) and click Try it now.
    • Result: A 15–30 second video that showcases the room’s flow.

  5. Idea Gallery

    • What it does: Provides style examples and prompts to jump-start your design.
    • How to use: Go to AI Interior Design ideas. Browse trending room styles, then click any example to load its prompt back in the editor.
    • Result: A proven starting point you can tweak.

To start, visit the AI Interior Design tool.

Step-by-Step Workflow

  1. Open the AI Interior Design Generator

  2. Generate a Custom Room

    • In the “Enter your prompt here…” field, be specific:

      “Open-concept living room with dark wood floor, white walls, and green velvet sofa.”

    • Click Generate. The AI returns several room renders based on your prompt.

    • Click any render to download or to send it into the editor for further edits.

  3. Restyle an Existing Photo

    • Click Drop a file or click to upload and select a photo of your current room.
    • Switch the top-left dropdown from Text to Image to Image to Image.
    • Enter a style prompt, e.g., “modern industrial bedroom with exposed brick.”
    • Hit Generate. The AI overlays that style onto your room photo.

  4. Use Magic Brush to Edit Details

    • With your image loaded, select Magic Brush from the left panel.
    • Paint over the items you want to replace (furniture, rug, wall).
    • Below, type a replacement prompt like “replace bed with a low-profile platform bed in walnut.”
    • Click Generate. The AI updates only the painted area while keeping the rest intact.

  5. Create a Video Preview

    • After you settle on an edited image, switch the dropdown to Kling v2.0 (Image-to-Video).
    • Pick a camera motion (e.g., “walk from kitchen to living area”).
    • Click Try it now. Download the resulting video to see how the space feels in motion.

  6. Load Inspiration from the Idea Gallery

    • Open AI Interior Design ideas.
    • Browse styles (Scandinavian, industrial, minimalist, etc.).
    • Click the Load in Editor button under any style.
    • That style’s prompt appears in your editor—hit Generate to get started.

  7. Export & Share

    • For any final image, click Download to save a high-res PNG.
    • For 3D-style plans, choose Export 3D (DAE or OBJ).
    • For walkthroughs, download the video file.
    • Share these assets with contractors, clients, or post them online.

Sleek Home Office

Best Practices

  • Be Clear in Your Prompt Example: “Minimalist home office with white built-in shelves, black desk, and natural light from a south-facing window.” The more detail, the closer the AI gets.

  • Iterate Rapidly If one render isn’t right, tweak your wording (e.g., “swap black desk for a glass desk” or “add a shaggy rug”). Small changes can yield very different designs.

  • Verify Real-World Details AI might invent a furniture piece that doesn’t exist. Always check dimensions, availability, and cost before committing.

  • Combine AI and Human Judgment Use AI to draft ideas, then finalize technical plans, electrical layouts, and structural details with a professional.

  • Use the Idea Gallery When You’re Stuck If you’re not sure where to start, load a style from AI Interior Design ideas. It gives you a proven prompt that you can adjust.

Example: Living Room Remix

  1. Project Brief Give the AI a clear goal:

    “Convert a dated living room into a mid-century modern space with teak furniture and a modular sofa.”

  2. Generate Concepts

    • Paste that prompt into the editor on AI Interior Design.
    • Click Generate. Pick the render that best matches.

  3. Upload Current Photo

    • Upload a photo of the existing living room.
    • Switch to Image-to-Image, paste the same prompt, then hit Generate. You’ll see your real room restyled.

  4. Refine with Magic Brush

    • Paint over the old sofa and coffee table.
    • Enter: “replace with teak coffee table and gray modular sofa.”
    • Click Generate. The new pieces blend in naturally.

  5. Preview with Video

    • Switch to Kling v2.0 (Image-to-Video).
    • Choose a gentle walk-through from the entry to the seating area.
    • Click Try it now and download a short video to show the client.

  6. Finalize & Share

    • Download the final image and video.
    • Send to contractors or post on social media to showcase before-and-after.
