Archome AI is an AI-powered architectural rendering platform that helps architects and interior designers generate photorealistic renders, identify materials in images, and create cinematic videos in seconds.

How does AI interior design work?

Upload a photo or sketch of any room, select a style like modern luxury, minimalist or japandi, and Archome AI generates a photorealistic redesigned interior in about 30 seconds.

Can AI identify materials in a render?

Yes. The Materia tool analyzes any render and identifies every material — floor, wall, furniture, textile — returning RAL codes, Pantone values, brand suggestions and supplier links.

Can I turn a sketch into a render?

Yes. The Sketch to Render tool converts any architectural sketch — hand drawing, CAD lines or concept sketch — into a photorealistic render in seconds.

How much does Archome AI cost?

Archome AI offers 100 free credits with no credit card required. Paid plans start at $29/month with monthly credits for professional use.

Is Archome AI suitable for professional architects?

Yes. Archome AI is built for architects, interior designers and visualization studios, with 4K output, material analysis and cinematic video generation.

Does Archome AI have a SketchUp or 3ds Max plugin?

Yes. Archome AI offers free plugins for SketchUp and 3ds Max so you can send your current viewport straight to Archome and get a photorealistic AI render in seconds, without leaving your modeling software.

Best AI Interior Design Tools (2026)

6 min read

"AI interior design" now covers a wide range of products — free room-restylers, general-purpose image generators pressed into service, and dedicated design platforms with real workflows behind them. They are not interchangeable, and picking the wrong one for the job wastes more time than it saves. Here's an honest look at the tools people actually reach for in 2026, what each does well, and where it runs out of road.

Quick answer

Fastest free way to test the idea: RoomGPT
Most style presets to browse: Interior AI (interiorai.com)
Already in your workflow, decent for mood boards: ChatGPT / DALL·E
Built for e-commerce shoppable results: Collov AI
Aimed at designers and retailers: Spacely AI
Best all-in-one for professional work (interior, exterior, sketch, video, 4K): Archome AI

1. RoomGPT — free and instant

RoomGPT does one thing: upload a room photo, pick a preset style, get a restyled version back in seconds, no account friction. It's the tool that introduced a lot of people to AI interior design, and it's still the fastest way to see the concept work on your own room.

Strengths: free, zero learning curve, near-instant results.
Limitations: interior restyling only — no exterior, sketch, floor plan or video tools; output resolution suits a screen, not a print board; limited prompt control beyond the preset list.

2. Interior AI (interiorai.com) — the original style-preset library

One of the earliest tools in the category, known for a long, browsable list of design styles and a straightforward upload-and-generate flow that keeps a room's walls and windows in place.

Strengths: wide style selection, simple to use for first-timers.
Limitations: interiors only, preset-driven rather than free-text steering.

3. ChatGPT / DALL·E — convenient, not purpose-built

Because most people already have it open, ChatGPT's image tools get used for interior mood boards and quick "what if" concepts. It's genuinely good at generating an evocative image from a text description.

Strengths: already installed, flexible for pure text-to-image concepts.
Limitations: not built to preserve a specific room's actual geometry from a photo, so it tends to invent a new layout rather than restyle your real one — closer to inspiration than a usable client visual.

4. Collov AI — retail and shoppable design

Collov AI leans toward the e-commerce side of interior design, pairing AI-generated room concepts with product recommendations — useful if the point of the image is to sell the furniture in it, not just the room concept.

Strengths: product-matching angle most design tools skip.
Limitations: narrower fit for architects and agents who just need a clean visual, no shopping layer required.

5. Spacely AI — designer- and retailer-facing

Spacely AI is positioned for interior designers and furniture retailers who want branded, on-style renders rather than a generic consumer tool.

Strengths: professional positioning, design-trade focus.
Limitations: like most single-purpose tools here, it stops at interiors — no exterior, sketch or video in the same account.

6. Archome AI — the all-in-one studio

Interior AI on Archome keeps your room's actual geometry — walls, windows, camera angle — while restyling everything else from a free-text prompt or a preset, and it sits inside a wider toolkit: exterior and facade restyling, sketch-to-render, floor-plan-to-3D, masked inpainting for single-element edits, material swap, a 4K enhancer, cinematic video, and SketchUp / 3ds Max plugins. Free plan includes 100 credits a month, no card required; paid plans start at $29/mo with commercial-use licensing.

Strengths: geometry-accurate restyling, browser-based, widest tool coverage in one subscription, 4K output.
Limitations: browser + plugin workflow, no dedicated Revit plugin yet.

How to choose

FAQ

Is any AI interior design tool free? Yes — RoomGPT and Archome AI both have real free tiers with no card required; Archome's covers about 20 renders a month.

Which tool keeps my room's actual layout? Photo-based tools built around geometry preservation (RoomGPT, Interior AI, Archome) keep your walls and windows in place. Pure text-to-image tools like ChatGPT tend to invent a new layout instead of restyling the real one.

What if I also need exterior or video, not just interiors? Only the all-in-one studios cover that without a second subscription — see the fuller 2026 AI rendering tools roundup for the wider comparison, or read the RoomGPT alternatives guide if that's your starting point.

Fastest way to decide: run the same room photo through two or three of these and compare at full size, not thumbnail. Try Interior AI on your own room photo — the first renders are free.
