Interior Designers: AI Tech is Changing Fast - Are You Ready?
In the very near future, almost every residential interior designer is going to be using AI to optimize their accounting, sales, client communications, finances, strategic planning, human resources, procurement, marketing, etc, etc, etc.
Today, that number is very low. But what about tomorrow, next month, next year?
In this NotebookLM created podcast, we crunched a ridiculous amount of industry data into an AI-scripted & voiced 16 minute podcast…because no one wants to read all those statistics…boring.
But seriously, if you’re excited or scared or confused or annoyed by all the chatter around AI and interior design, give this podcast a quick listen. There is so much hype around AI right now. It’s refreshing to be able to put things in context.
FYI…our first set of AI tools for interior designers are being released soon. These tools are designed exclusively to give interior designers immediate wins with AI.
If this is something you might be interested, you might want to get on our email list as we’re going to be (almost) giving away these tools in return for your brutally honest feedback. We’ve already tested with just over 50 designers, but we want these things to be virtually perfect.

Key Takeaways
The adoption gap is your opportunity: 80% of designers believe technology helps their business, but only 40% use visualization tools - this gap won't last long
Client expectations have shifted permanently: 70% of residential projects now require smart home integration, and VR adoption jumped 60% in one year
Presentation technology determines contract wins: Clients choose experiences over expertise when both options meet their design needs
Early adopter window is closing: The next 12-18 months offer competitive advantage before these tools become standard industry expectations
Investment pays for itself: Advanced visualization tools justify premium pricing and reduce revision cycles that waste time and profit
Automation beats manual processes: Clients expect instant responses and professional systems, not personality-dependent communication
