How do I plan a basement or attic conversion with AI?
Updated August 19, 2026
Short answer
Photograph the unfinished space with as much light as you can add, then use the DecorAI Interior Designer with room type "basement" or "attic" and describe the intended use in free text — guest room, den, gym, home cinema or office. The AI will show the finished room inside the real shell.
Getting a usable photo of a raw space
- Bring in a work light — unfinished spaces are almost always too dark
- Include the ceiling, especially in an attic where the slope defines everything
- Include the stairs or the entrance if they are in the room
- Clear stored boxes out of the frame where you can
Head height, insulation, egress windows, damp-proofing, fire escape routes and building regulations decide whether a conversion is legal. An AI image cannot. Get a professional assessment before you plan the interior.
