I love it! It'd be nice if there was a way to say what is and is not changeable. For example, I noticed it usually improves the view outside of the windows to be beautiful vistas -- not something you can do without moving. Being able to request that other things not change, like the floor plan or the flooring for example, would be nice. I like how the AI will randomly turn furniture into a dog, as if to say, "improve…

Glad you like it! I understand your point; I'll work on object segmentation and let users decide what to change. Thanks for the feedback

90% of what is generated is not doable. You cannot just add a new window like that, or change the view you have. Also the furniture that is generated doesn't exist as it is generated as well, so how are you actually supposed to buy it?

Take the designs to a craftsman? If AI inspires a resurgence in craftspeople using their skills to create truly bespoke pieces, that'd be a very good thing.

The cost for truly bespoke pieces and the types of people not paying a designer to redecorate their space will nearly cancel each other out.

It looks more like it's re-skinning a room/space rather than trying different design ideas - all the elements remain where they are, but are restyled. I think a big contribution of an interior designer is their ability to see potential in a space and reorganize it in a way that works better for a purpose / feels better to be in. This in comparison seems "skin deep"

This looks to be stable diffusion with controlnet. Since many of the original lines are kept it is probably Canny Edge or HED. That's why it looks so similar to the original room.

This is wild, do you mind sharing what the process is in broad terms? I'm super impressed!

Yes, certainly. The image generation process utilizes a variation of the text-to-image model called StableDiffusion. The frontend collects requests and sends them to a two-layered backend. The first layer determines the appropriate prompt to send to the worker, while the second layer calls the image generation API. Once the image is generated, it is sent back to the first layer and then returned to the client.

Cool way to imagine a room in a different way, and get ideas for a mood board you can hand to a designer. Of course, most of the stuff it imagines does not actually exist, and could not be purchased off the shelf. You'd need a lot of custom cabinetry and furniture work, next to which hiring a designer in the first place would probably not be much of an expense.
