I was procrastinating so much on using AI for my design projects, but I finally took the first step, and now I am hooked!  Whether you are a seasoned designer or a passionate DIYer, AI can elevate your projects to new heights. Let’s dive into how you can harness this powerful tool from concept to installation for any project you have.

“Artificial intelligence is not a substitute for human intelligence; it is a tool to amplify human creativity and ingenuity” Fei-Fei Li

Concepts and Ideas:

    1. Brainstorming: Use AI-powered platforms like Pinterest or Houzz to find inspiration and create a mood board. These are some ideas that we created for a gym on Pinterest: https://pin.it/2Z60oRgzj  in our brainstorming session for a new project in South Miami we are doing.
    1. Idea Generation: Use ChatGPT to help brainstorm themes, color schemes, and styles. Just ask and the ideas will flow.

      TIP      : When you describe your space and preferences to the AI application be as specific as possible and you will be shocked at the results.

Mood Boards:

 I love mood boards to set the visual tone of a project. Here are some ways to create them with AI.

    1. Use Canva or Adobe Spark which both have AI features to suggest layouts and elements. Pick one and go crazy with your creativity!
    2. Image Recognition features are in many apps today, Google Image search being the most popular, you can also find them on Clarifai, Amazon and so many others. I use many of these apps to find products that we want to use in our project. 

       TIP: Integrate images, color swatches and textures to communicate the look and feel of your space effectively.

Product Research:

Product search is crucial in finding the perfect piece or creating a custom piece.

  1. Online Marketplaces: Use AI on sites like Amazon, Wayfair, IKEA to get recommendations based on your preferences. We are starting our Amazon Shops soon as are using their AI service to capture everything I have used in my home and clients homes so we can add to our storefront the same or similar products.

  2. Price Comparisons: Tools like Honey can automatically find and apply the best deals.

  3. Chatbots and Virtual Assistants: Many online stores have Ai-powered chatbots that can assist with product inquiries, and even help place orders. This ensures real-time shopping support.eals.
