AI is making its way into home design
People searching for a new house or apartment have found helpful solutions online for years, such as professionally taken photos in listings or offers from home staging agencies. This eliminates the need for time-consuming on-site visits or at least reduces them to a minimum.
With the advent of AI systems, there are now entirely new ways to get a first impression of a new apartment in a furnished state or to test which wall color best complements the red sofa in the living room.
AI apps for furnishing from simple to professional
The range of such AI tools spans from simple to professional. Those who want to quickly restyle or refurnish rooms might find free apps like Remodel AI or Planner 5D to be quite sufficient.
Those willing to invest more time and money can seek professional help, such as from InstantDeco. These paid services are likely more suited for owners of multiple houses or apartments or for commercial real estate agencies. For renters or buyers who just want a small visual impression, these specialized AI tools might be a bit excessive.

Online real estate agents are also increasingly using AI
Many home improvement stores and online real estate agents are now using AI tools for renovating or selling apartments. Names range from Bauhaus, IKEA, or OBI to Immoscout 24.
The latter recently introduced a tool called KI-Wohnvision to completely redesign rooms. “With KI-Wohnvision, it’s easier to imagine how a room might look with a different interior style, such as modern, Scandinavian, or industrial,” explains Johanna Fitschen from Immoscout24, describing the basic function of the new AI tool in response to a query from myHOMEBOOK.
The AI tool can be used on a computer or downloaded as an iOS or Android app. It’s incredibly easy to use. “The AI works with the images from the respective listing. Based on this, new room views are created, showing the potential of a room. The original images remain the basis. KI-Wohnvision adds a visual idea for possible interior styles,” Fitschen describes the further possibilities of the AI to visualize personal home ideas.
ChatGPT and others also function as interior design assistants
Those offering a property for sale on Immoscout24 can use the AI tool nationwide. For rental properties, it is currently available in the seven largest German cities.
Of course, major AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, or Google Gemini are also suitable as virtual interior designers or handymen. For those who want to furnish their home with AI, it might look like this:
- Image generation: Uploaded photos of rooms can be redesigned as desired. A prompt might be: “Swap sofa and rug, keep walls, make the lighting warmer.”
- Dialogue-based consultation: Precisely formulated prompts provide the basis for specialized consultations typically conducted with an interior designer. Here, the chat function can offer initial help with colors, furniture placement, or materials. However, the suggestions should ideally serve only as starting points for a conversation with a professional. This is especially true for redesigns where structural integrity plays a significant role.
