Category URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/getting-started ### What is DecorAI? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/getting-started/what-is-decorai Platforms: iOS, Android, Web Answer: DecorAI is an AI interior design app for iPhone, iPad, Android and the web that redesigns a real room, home exterior or garden from a single photo. You upload a photo of your own space, choose a direction, and DecorAI returns a photorealistic version of that same space — usually in under 10 seconds. DecorAI was created and first released in 2024 by Rocket Digital Limited. It is available as a web app at app.decoraihome.com, on the Apple App Store and on Google Play, and it is used by more than 3 million people worldwide who have generated over 50 million designs. The core idea is simple: instead of imagining what a new sofa, wall colour, floor or facade would look like, you photograph the space you already have and let DecorAI show you. Because the AI works from your photo, the result keeps your walls, windows, ceiling height, perspective and camera angle — it is your room, restyled, not a stock image of somebody else’s room. #### What DecorAI can do - Redesign an interior in 60+ styles, 40+ room types and 40+ colour schemes - Redesign a house facade, a garden, a backyard or a balcony - Replace only the flooring and leave the rest of the room untouched - Empty a furnished room, or furnish an empty one (virtual staging) - Drop a specific piece of furniture from a shop listing into your room - Edit one small area with a brush instead of regenerating the whole photo - Score and critique a room with AI Room Analysis, and write a full Design Report (both Pro) - Collect inspiration in Moodboards and redesign your room in that exact look #### What DecorAI is not DecorAI produces visual concepts. The images are not measured floor plans, construction drawings, engineering documents or exact bills of materials. Structural, electrical, plumbing, safety and building-code decisions should always be checked with qualified local professionals. > The official DecorAI app lives at decoraihome.com and app.decoraihome.com, and is operated by Rocket Digital Limited. On mobile, check for Apple App Store ID 6471409676 or the Google Play package com.rocketdigitals.aiinteriordesign. ### How do I redesign a room with DecorAI? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/getting-started/how-to-redesign-a-room Plan: Free and Pro Platforms: iOS, Android, Web Answer: To redesign a room with DecorAI, open the app or app.decoraihome.com, tap the Interior Designer, upload or take a photo of the room, pick a room type and a style, then press Generate. Your redesigned room is usually ready in under 10 seconds and is saved automatically to History. #### Step by step 1. Open DecorAI on your phone or go to app.decoraihome.com in a browser. No account is needed to start. 2. Choose AI Interior Designer from the home screen. 3. Add a photo: take one with the camera, pick one from your gallery, or crop an image you already have. Shoot from a doorway or corner so the whole room is visible. 4. Choose the room type (living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, office and 40+ more) so the AI knows what furniture belongs there. 5. Choose a style — Modern, Scandinavian, Minimalist, Industrial, Bohemian, Japandi, Coastal, Farmhouse and 60+ others — and optionally a colour scheme. 6. Optional: add design controls (Keep Room Details, Add Ambient Lighting, Accent Wall, Plants and Greenery and 30+ more), attach up to five reference photos of furniture you own, or type free-text instructions. 7. Press Generate. On the free plan you watch a short rewarded video first; Pro generates immediately. 8. Compare before and after with the slider, then save, share, regenerate for a different take, or open a Design Report. > If you like the layout of the room and only want new decor, turn on "Keep Room Details" and "Keep Exact Photo Angle". If you want a bolder change, leave them off and add "Replace Furniture" or "Open Floor Plan". #### How long it takes Most designs finish in under 10 seconds and many in about 5. During peak demand a generation can take 20 to 60 seconds. Pro subscribers get priority processing. ### Is DecorAI free to use? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/getting-started/is-decorai-free Plan: Free Answer: Yes. DecorAI gives every user three free AI designs per day, and the allowance resets daily. Each free design is unlocked by watching one short rewarded video ad, and no registration, sign-in or payment card is required. Images saved on the free plan carry a small DecorAI watermark. #### What the free plan includes - Three generations every day, reset daily - AI Interior Designer, Exterior Design, Garden Design, Floor Planner, Corner Designer - Empty the Room, Virtual Staging, Furniture Import - Style Transfer, Design Concepts and the Inpainting editor - Moodboards, Pinterest and Instagram import, AI chat assistants, Community, Projects and History #### What requires Pro - Unlimited generations with no daily limit - No rewarded video ads and no DecorAI watermark on saved images - Priority generation speed - AI Room Analysis (the scored room critique) - Design Report, including branded PDF export > There is no subscription free trial. A paid plan starts immediately after purchase, and the daily free plan stays available until you decide to upgrade. ### How many free designs do I get per day? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/getting-started/how-many-free-designs Plan: Free Answer: DecorAI includes three free design generations per day on every platform. The counter resets daily, each free generation is unlocked by watching one short rewarded video ad, and unused generations do not roll over to the next day. The three free generations are shared across the design tools — an interior redesign, a garden redesign and a virtual staging all draw from the same daily allowance. #### Why there is an ad before each free design Every generation runs on paid AI image models. The rewarded video is what makes the free plan possible without asking for a payment card or an account. Pro removes the ads entirely. > If your three designs are used up, you can still browse Community, open old designs in History, build Moodboards, chat with the AI assistants and plan Projects — none of those consume a generation. ### Do I need an account to use DecorAI? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/getting-started/do-i-need-an-account Answer: No. You can open DecorAI and use the three daily free generations without registering or signing in. An account is only needed to sync designs and Moodboards between devices, to restore a Pro purchase on another device or platform, and to publish to the Community. #### What works without an account - All three daily free generations - Every design tool on the free plan - History on that one device #### What needs an account - Syncing saved designs and Moodboards between your phone, tablet and the web app - Restoring a Pro purchase on a new device or on a different platform - Publishing a design to the Community, liking and bookmarking - Keeping your History if you reinstall the app or change phones You can sign in with Google, with Apple, or with an email address and password. Creating an account is free and does not change your daily allowance. ### Which devices and platforms does DecorAI work on? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/getting-started/supported-devices-and-platforms Platforms: iOS, Android, Web Answer: DecorAI runs on iPhone and iPad through the App Store, on Android phones and tablets through Google Play, and in any modern desktop or mobile browser at app.decoraihome.com. Signing in with the same account keeps designs and Moodboards in sync across all of them. | Platform | Where to get it | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | iPhone / iPad | Apple App Store (ID 6471409676) | Includes Live Activities, home-screen widgets, Siri shortcuts and the system share sheet | | Android | Google Play (com.rocketdigitals.aiinteriordesign) | Includes home-screen widgets and the system share sheet | | Web | app.decoraihome.com | No download; works on desktop and mobile browsers | The mobile apps and the web app share the same account, the same Pro entitlement and the same cloud History, so you can start a design on your phone and finish it on a laptop. > A few features are mobile-only by nature: Live Activities and the Dynamic Island progress indicator are iPhone features, and home-screen widgets and the OS share sheet exist only on iOS and Android. ### Which DecorAI tool should I use for my project? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/getting-started/which-tool-should-i-use Answer: Pick the DecorAI tool by the change you want: Interior Designer for a full room restyle, Floor Planner to change only the floor, Empty the Room to clear furniture, Virtual Staging to furnish an empty room, Inpainting to change one small area, Furniture Import to place a specific product, and Exterior or Garden Design for the outside of the property. | What you want to do | Use this tool | Plan | | --- | --- | --- | | Restyle a whole room from a photo | AI Interior Designer | Free | | See a different flooring only | AI Floor Planner | Free | | Remove all the furniture and clutter | Empty the Room | Free | | Furnish an empty or half-empty room | Virtual Staging | Free | | Change one sofa, wall or radiator only | Inpainting editor | Free | | Place a specific product you found in a shop | Furniture Import | Free | | Fix an awkward, dead corner | AI Corner Designer | Free | | Redesign the house facade or curb appeal | AI Exterior Design | Free | | Redesign a garden, yard, patio or balcony | AI Garden Design | Free | | Copy the look of an inspiration image | Style Transfer or a Moodboard redesign | Free | | Start from a description with no photo | Design Concepts | Free | | Get a scored critique of your room | AI Room Analysis | Pro | | Get a written report with costs and an action plan | Design Report | Pro | > Tools can be chained. A common workflow is Empty the Room, then Virtual Staging, then Inpainting to fix one detail, then a Design Report to price the result. ### Does DecorAI keep my actual room, or does it invent a new one? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/getting-started/will-it-keep-my-real-room Answer: DecorAI redesigns the room in your photo rather than generating a new one. Walls, windows, doors, ceiling height, perspective and camera angle are preserved unless you specifically ask for a change, so the result reads as your own space with new finishes, furniture and lighting. The AI reads the structure of your photo first — where the floor meets the walls, where the light comes from, how large the room is — and then applies the style you chose inside that structure. That is why a good input photo matters so much. #### Controls that make it even stricter - "Keep Room Details" tells the AI to preserve architecture and existing features as closely as possible - "Keep Exact Photo Angle" prevents the camera position from drifting - The Floor Planner changes only the flooring and nothing else - The Inpainting editor changes only the area you paint with the brush > Small details can still shift between generations — a window may gain a different frame, or a doorway may move slightly. Treat every result as a visual concept, not a measured survey of the room. ### Do I need design experience to use DecorAI? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/getting-started/no-design-experience Answer: No design experience is required. DecorAI is built around presets — pick a room type and a style and press Generate — and every extra control is optional. Homeowners, renters, real-estate agents and professional designers all use the same interface. If you do not know which style you want, generate the same room in three or four different styles and compare them side by side. Seeing your own room in Scandinavian, Japandi and Industrial is a much faster way to find your taste than browsing catalogues. #### Helpful shortcuts for beginners - Use AI Room Analysis (Pro) to get a written critique and a ready-made improvement prompt you can hand straight to the designer - Chat with Milo, the AI room planner, about layout, furniture sizing and traffic flow - Browse the Community tab to see what other people generated and which styles they used - Build a Moodboard from images you like and let DecorAI name and reproduce that style ### How long does an AI design take to generate? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/getting-started/generation-speed Answer: A DecorAI design is usually ready in under 10 seconds and often in about 5. During periods of peak demand a generation can take 20 to 60 seconds. Pro subscribers get priority processing, and every finished design is saved to History automatically. DecorAI routes each request across several AI image providers running the same underlying model. If one provider is busy or unavailable, the request automatically moves to another instead of failing — which is why generations stay fast even when one service is degraded. #### What makes a generation slower - Peak demand across all users - Very large input photos on a slow connection (the upload is part of the wait) - Two-image workflows such as Furniture Import, which process both photos - AI Room Analysis and Design Report, which write text and can take longer than an image > On iPhone, a Live Activity shows generation progress on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so you can leave the app while it works. ### What languages does DecorAI support? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/getting-started/supported-languages Answer: DecorAI is fully localised into 32 languages across 37 locale variants, including English, German, French, Spanish (Spain and Latin America), Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Romanian, Croatian, Serbian, Bulgarian, Greek, Finnish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Russian, Turkish and more. Arabic and Hebrew are supported with right-to-left layouts, and AI-written text such as Room Analysis and Design Reports is returned in your language. - Arabic, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Danish, Dutch, English, French, German - Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish - Portuguese (Portugal and Brazil), Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese The app follows your device language automatically. Free-text instructions can be written in your own language too — you do not need to translate a prompt into English for the AI to understand it. ## Designing a room Everything about the AI Interior Designer: choosing a style, picking a room type, using colour schemes, writing free-text instructions, adding your own furniture photos and getting better variations. Category URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/interior-design ### What is the AI Interior Designer in DecorAI? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/interior-design/interior-designer-overview Plan: Free and Pro Platforms: iOS, Android, Web Answer: The AI Interior Designer is DecorAI’s main tool: it takes one photo of a real room and returns a photorealistic redesign of that same room. It offers 60+ styles, 40+ room and space types, 40+ colour schemes, 30+ optional design controls, up to five reference furniture photos and free-text instructions. #### The four inputs that shape a result 1. The photo — the AI reads your room’s structure, light and proportions from it. 2. Room type — tells the AI what belongs in the space (a bed in a bedroom, an island in a kitchen). 3. Style and colour scheme — the visual direction, from Modern and Scandinavian to Art Deco and Japandi. 4. Controls and free text — the optional detail: keep the angle, add an accent wall, make it budget-friendly, add plants, and anything else you type. Only the photo is truly required. Everything else has a sensible default, so a first-time user can upload and press Generate without touching a single setting. > The more specific you are, the more repeatable the result. Style + colour scheme + two controls usually gives a much more consistent series of images than style alone. ### Which interior design styles are available and how do I choose one? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/interior-design/choosing-a-style Answer: DecorAI offers more than 60 interior design styles, including Modern, Minimalist, Scandinavian, Industrial, Bohemian, Japandi, Coastal, Farmhouse, Mid-Century Modern, Art Deco, Traditional, Rustic, Mediterranean, Tropical and Maximalist. If you are undecided, generate the same room in three styles and compare them side by side — each generation is fast and non-destructive. #### A quick way to narrow it down | If you want… | Try these styles | | --- | --- | | Light, calm, uncluttered | Scandinavian, Minimalist, Japandi | | Warm and lived-in | Farmhouse, Rustic, Bohemian, Mediterranean | | Sharp and contemporary | Modern, Contemporary, Industrial | | Character and pattern | Art Deco, Maximalist, Victorian, Eclectic | | Holiday feeling | Coastal, Tropical, Mediterranean | | Timeless and formal | Traditional, Transitional, French Country | Styles like Japandi already combine two aesthetics (Japanese and Scandinavian), so you do not need to blend styles manually. If you want a mix, generate one version of each and use free-text instructions to borrow a specific element — for example, "Scandinavian, but with the dark wood tones of a Japandi interior". - Browse the visual style guide: https://www.decoraihome.com/styles - AI living room design ideas: https://www.decoraihome.com/ai-living-room-design - AI bedroom design: https://www.decoraihome.com/ai-bedroom-design ### What do the design controls in DecorAI do? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/interior-design/design-controls-explained Answer: Design controls are optional toggles that steer the AI beyond style and colour. DecorAI has more than 30 of them across five groups — camera and photo, furniture and layout, lighting and atmosphere, architectural elements, and decor and details — and several compatible controls can be selected at once. #### Camera and photo - Keep Room Details — preserve existing architecture and features as closely as possible - Keep Exact Photo Angle — hold the original camera position - Change Photo Angle — let the AI re-frame the room from a different viewpoint #### Furniture and layout - Replace Furniture, Add New Furniture - Multi-Functional Furniture, Statement Furniture Piece - Open Floor Plan, Space Maximization #### Lighting and atmosphere - Add Ambient Lighting, Natural Light Enhancement - Cozy Atmosphere - Budget-Friendly, Eco-Friendly #### Architectural elements - Accent Wall, Built-In Shelving, Exposed Beams - Crown Molding, Archways, Coffered Ceiling - Wainscoting, Acoustic Panels #### Decor and details - Plants and Greenery, Mirrors, Area Rugs - Textured Walls, Window Treatments - Hidden Storage, Art Gallery Wall, Smart Home Integration > Selecting many controls at once can pull the result in competing directions. Two or three controls per generation usually produces a cleaner image than ten. ### Should I keep my room details or let the AI transform everything? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/interior-design/keep-or-transform Answer: Keep Room Details and Keep Exact Photo Angle when you are planning a real, budget-limited refresh and need the result to stay recognisable. Turn them off when you want inspiration or a full renovation concept and are happy for the AI to move furniture, change the layout and re-imagine the space. | Goal | Recommended setup | | --- | --- | | New paint, textiles and decor only | Keep Room Details + Keep Exact Photo Angle, no layout controls | | New furniture, same room | Keep Exact Photo Angle + Replace Furniture | | Full renovation concept | No keep-controls, add Open Floor Plan or Space Maximization | | Show a client several directions | Same photo, three styles, no keep-controls | | Sell or rent the property | Virtual Staging instead of the Interior Designer | A useful habit: run one "faithful" version and one "ambitious" version of the same room. The faithful one tells you what you can actually do this month; the ambitious one tells you what the space could become. ### Which room and space types does DecorAI support? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/interior-design/room-types Answer: DecorAI supports more than 40 room and space types, including living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, home offices, dining rooms, kids rooms, nurseries, hallways, entryways, basements, attics, laundry rooms, garages, balconies, patios, gardens and building exteriors. Choosing the right room type matters because it tells the AI which furniture belongs in the space. A photo of an empty rectangular room labelled "bedroom" gets a bed; labelled "home office" it gets a desk. #### Common choices - Living areas: living room, family room, dining room, open-plan living - Private rooms: bedroom, kids room, nursery, guest room, walk-in closet - Wet rooms: kitchen, bathroom, ensuite, laundry room - Work and utility: home office, studio, garage, basement, attic, hallway, entryway - Outdoor: balcony, patio, terrace, backyard, front yard, rooftop, courtyard > If your space does not match any preset — a converted loft, a caravan, a shop — pick the closest room type and describe the real use in the free-text field. ### How do colour schemes work in DecorAI? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/interior-design/color-schemes Answer: A colour scheme sets the palette the AI works with — DecorAI offers more than 40, from neutral and earth tones to bold and monochrome. A colour scheme is optional and layers on top of the style, so the same Scandinavian style can be generated in warm beige or in deep green. Colour schemes are the fastest way to test paint and textile directions before you buy anything. Generate the same room, the same style and the same controls three times with three different schemes, and the only variable is colour. #### Getting a specific colour - Use the free-text field for an exact shade: "walls in a soft sage green, warm brass fittings" - Use a Moodboard when you want the exact colours of images you collected — the palette is measured from the real pixels, not guessed - Use Style Transfer to copy the palette of a single reference image such as a fabric or artwork - A Design Report (Pro) returns the named hex palette of a finished design, which you can take to a paint shop ### How do I write a good instruction or prompt for DecorAI? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/interior-design/free-text-instructions Answer: Write one short, concrete sentence about what you want changed and what must stay. Name materials, colours and objects ("replace the grey sofa with a cream bouclé sectional, keep the wooden floor"), and avoid vague adjectives like "nice" or "better". You can write in your own language. #### Prompts that work well - "Keep the layout, replace the curtains with floor-length linen, add a large round jute rug" - "Warm minimalist office, oak desk, black steel shelving, one large plant, no clutter" - "Same kitchen, matte dark green cabinets, brass handles, white marble worktop" - "Remove the radiator under the window and add built-in bench seating" #### Prompts that disappoint - "Make it look nice" — no direction for the AI to follow - "Modern, rustic, industrial, coastal" — four competing styles in one request - "Move the window two metres left" — structural moves are unreliable; the AI is not a CAD tool - Very long paragraphs — the important instruction gets diluted; keep it under about three sentences > DecorAI is for rooms, buildings and outdoor spaces. Requests to add or alter people are rejected by the automated safety checks. ### Can I show DecorAI furniture I already own or want to buy? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/interior-design/add-your-own-furniture Answer: Yes. In the AI Interior Designer you can attach up to five reference photos of furniture, and DecorAI will place those pieces into the redesign. For a single specific product — a sofa from a shop listing, for example — use the dedicated Furniture Import tool, which matches its scale and lighting to your room. #### Two different jobs | Situation | Best approach | | --- | --- | | "I am keeping my dining table and bookcase" | Attach them as reference photos in the Interior Designer | | "I am considering this exact sofa from a shop" | Furniture Import (two-photo workflow) | | "I want the general look of these pins" | Moodboard redesign or Style Transfer | Reference photos work best when the item is photographed straight on, well lit and against a reasonably clean background. A product photo from a retailer’s website is usually ideal. ### How do I get several different versions of the same room? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/interior-design/get-different-variations Answer: Press Regenerate to produce a new interpretation with the same settings — every generation is unique. To explore more widely, change one variable at a time: same photo with a different style, a different colour scheme, or one different design control. #### A method that avoids wasting generations 1. Round 1 — style exploration: same photo, three different styles, nothing else changed. 2. Round 2 — pick the winning style, then test two colour schemes inside it. 3. Round 3 — add one or two design controls (lighting, accent wall, plants) to the winner. 4. Round 4 — fine-tune single elements with the Inpainting editor instead of regenerating the whole image. > Every generation is saved to History, so you can always go back to an earlier version. Nothing is overwritten. ### Can DecorAI help with a small room or a rental I cannot renovate? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/interior-design/small-rooms-and-rentals Answer: Yes. For small rooms, use the Space Maximization and Multi-Functional Furniture controls; for rentals, keep the architecture fixed with Keep Room Details and ask in free text for reversible changes only — furniture, textiles, rugs, lighting and plants rather than built-ins or structural work. #### Renter-friendly setup - Controls: Keep Room Details, Keep Exact Photo Angle, Space Maximization - Free text: "no structural changes, no built-in furniture, keep the existing flooring and wall colour" - Add: Area Rugs, Plants and Greenery, Mirrors, Window Treatments, Add Ambient Lighting For a small awkward area — the corner behind a door, a landing, an alcove — the AI Corner Designer is usually a better fit than a full room redesign, because it changes only that spot. ### Can I design a whole home or several rooms in one project? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/interior-design/design-a-whole-home Answer: Yes, one room at a time. Photograph each room, generate its design separately, and group the results in a DecorAI Project so the plan, checklist and every related design stay together. History can then be filtered by that project. DecorAI does not generate a full floor plan of a house in one shot — each generation works from one photo of one space. Projects exist to hold the whole job together. #### Keeping a home visually consistent 1. Pick one style and one colour scheme and reuse them in every room. 2. Build a Moodboard for the home and redesign each room from that board so the exact colours repeat. 3. Keep flooring consistent by running the Floor Planner on every room with the same floor type. 4. Save everything into one Project and use the checklist to sequence the work. ### How do I compare the before and after of a design? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/interior-design/compare-before-and-after Answer: Every finished DecorAI design opens with a before-and-after comparison you can drag to reveal the original photo underneath. From the same screen you can save the image to your device, share it, regenerate, publish it to the Community or open a Design Report. - Drag the slider to check that windows, doors and proportions still line up with your real room - Save to your device — Pro saves without the DecorAI watermark - Share directly to Pinterest, Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, Facebook or by message - Publish to the Community if you want other DecorAI users to see it - Open a Design Report (Pro) for a written breakdown of what changed, a colour palette and a cost estimate > The before-and-after view is the fastest sanity check on a result: if the slider shows the window has moved or the room has changed shape, regenerate with Keep Exact Photo Angle enabled. ## Design tools Every DecorAI design tool explained in plain language: what it does, when to use it, what it needs from you, and what it will not do. Category URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/tools ### What does AI Exterior Design do? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/tools/what-is-exterior-design Plan: Free and Pro Platforms: iOS, Android, Web Answer: AI Exterior Design redesigns the outside of a building from one photo. DecorAI supports ten building types and ten architectural styles and can change siding, roofing, windows, doors, landscaping, exterior lighting, garage doors, porches, shutters and trim while keeping the building’s real shape. #### What you can change - Building types: Single Family Home, Townhouse, Modern Villa, Cottage, Colonial, Apartment Building, Ranch, Bungalow, Mansion, Duplex - Styles: Modern, Colonial, Victorian, Mediterranean, Craftsman, Tudor, Contemporary, Farmhouse, Cape Cod, Industrial - Elements: siding, roofing, windows, doors, landscaping, exterior lighting, garage doors, porches, shutters, trim #### Getting a usable photo 1. Shoot in daylight, ideally with the sun behind you rather than behind the house. 2. Stand far enough back to capture the roofline and the ground in one frame. 3. Photograph the facade reasonably straight on; extreme angles distort the result. 4. Avoid cars, bins and people in front of the building where you can. > Exterior results are visual concepts. Roof structures, load-bearing walls, extensions and anything requiring planning permission must be checked with a qualified professional. - AI Exterior Design page: https://www.decoraihome.com/ai-exterior-design ### What does AI Garden Design do? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/tools/what-is-garden-design Plan: Free and Pro Answer: AI Garden Design redesigns outdoor space from a photo — a backyard, front yard, patio, balcony, rooftop, courtyard, terrace, side yard, vegetable garden or flower garden. You can choose a garden style and add elements such as planting, water features, pathways, outdoor lighting, seating, a pergola, a fire pit or an outdoor kitchen. #### Garden styles Modern, Traditional, Japanese, Cottage, Mediterranean, English, Tropical, Desert, French and Minimalist. #### Optional elements - Plants and planting beds, lawns and ground cover - Water features and fountains, swimming pool - Pathways, decking and paving - Outdoor lighting, seating areas, pergola or gazebo - Fire pit, outdoor kitchen > Photograph the garden from the house looking out, and again from the end looking back. The two viewpoints produce very different — and equally useful — concepts. Plant choices in a generated image are illustrative. Before buying, check that the species suit your climate zone, soil and light conditions. - AI Garden Design page: https://www.decoraihome.com/ai-garden-design ### What does the AI Floor Planner do? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/tools/what-is-floor-planner Plan: Free and Pro Answer: The AI Floor Planner replaces only the visible flooring in a room photo and leaves everything else — furniture, walls, windows and lighting — unchanged. Floor types include hardwood, tile, carpet, laminate, vinyl, concrete, stone and bamboo, with materials and patterns such as oak, walnut, marble, herringbone and chevron. This is the tool to use when you are choosing a floor and want an honest comparison. Because nothing else in the photo changes, the only difference between two generations is the floor itself. #### Available options | Group | Examples | | --- | --- | | Floor types | Hardwood, Tile, Carpet, Laminate, Vinyl, Concrete, Stone, Bamboo | | Wood species | Oak, Maple, Walnut | | Stone and tile | Marble, Granite, Large Format | | Patterns | Herringbone, Chevron | > The AI Floor Planner is not a floor-plan drawing tool. It does not produce a top-down layout or measurements — it changes the flooring material in a photograph. - AI Floor Planner page: https://www.decoraihome.com/ai-floor-planner ### What does the AI Corner Designer (Space Optimizer) do? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/tools/what-is-corner-designer Plan: Free and Pro Answer: The AI Corner Designer transforms one awkward, empty or underused corner of a room and leaves the rest of the space intact. You upload a photo of the dead corner and pick an idea — reading nook, compact home office, built-in storage, pet area, coffee bar, plant corner, entryway bench, kids play corner, mini bar or display shelves. #### Extra touches you can add Shelving, hidden storage, accent lighting, cushions, wallpaper, mirrors, drawers and floating shelves. #### When to use it instead of the Interior Designer - The rest of the room is already finished and you do not want it restyled - The problem area is small: a landing, an alcove, the space behind a door, the end of a hallway - You are looking for function ("what could this become?") rather than a style change > Stand close enough that the corner fills most of the frame, but include a bit of floor and ceiling so the AI can judge the height and scale. ### What does Empty the Room do? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/tools/what-is-empty-the-room Plan: Free and Pro Answer: Empty the Room removes furniture and clutter from a photo of a furnished room while keeping the floor, walls, windows and architecture. It is used before planning a renovation, before moving, and as the first step in creating a clean staged listing photo. #### The classic two-step workflow 1. Empty the Room — clear the space so the architecture is visible. 2. Virtual Staging — furnish the empty result in the style you want to sell or live in. Doing it in two steps usually beats a single "replace everything" generation, because the AI is not fighting the old furniture while inventing the new. > What is behind a large sofa or a full bookcase is unknown to the AI, so it will reconstruct that area plausibly rather than accurately. Expect the wall behind big objects to be an approximation. ### What does Virtual Staging do? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/tools/what-is-virtual-staging Plan: Free and Pro Answer: Virtual Staging furnishes an empty or under-furnished room from a photo. You choose the room type — living room, bedroom, kitchen, dining room, office, kids room, bathroom or a custom type — and a style such as Modern, Scandinavian, Minimalist, Industrial, Bohemian, Mid-Century, Coastal or Japandi, and DecorAI adds a coherent furniture and decor concept. #### Who uses it - Estate agents and home stagers preparing listing photos - Sellers who have already moved out - Buyers and renters working out whether their furniture will fit - Developers showing an unfinished or unfurnished unit > Virtually staged photos used in property marketing should be labelled as such. Many markets and portals require a clear disclosure that furniture was added digitally — check the rules that apply where you list. - AI Virtual Staging page: https://www.decoraihome.com/ai-virtual-staging ### What does Furniture Import do? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/tools/what-is-furniture-import Plan: Free and Pro Answer: Furniture Import is a two-photo workflow: you upload a photo of your room and a photo of one specific furniture item — from a shop, a showroom, a marketplace listing or another home — and DecorAI places that item into your room with matching scale, perspective and lighting. Optional instructions can say where it should stand. #### How to get an accurate placement 1. Use a clean product photo of the item, ideally on a plain background. 2. Photograph the room from the position you would normally see the item from. 3. Add an instruction such as "against the wall to the left of the window, facing the TV". 4. Check the result against the real dimensions of the item — the AI matches visual scale, not measurements. > Furniture Import shows how a piece looks in the space. It does not verify that it fits. Always measure the item and the wall before you buy. ### What does the Inpainting editor do? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/tools/what-is-inpainting Plan: Free and Pro Answer: The Inpainting editor changes only the part of a photo you paint over. You mask an area with an adjustable brush, describe what should be there instead, and DecorAI edits just that region — replacing one sofa, removing a radiator, changing a single wall — while the rest of the image stays exactly as it was. #### Using the brush well 1. Zoom in and paint slightly beyond the edges of the object, including its shadow. 2. Keep the mask tight — masking half the room turns inpainting into a full redesign. 3. Describe only what should appear in the masked area: "a cream three-seat sofa", not "a nicer living room". 4. Use the undo and clear-mask controls freely; the mask is not saved until you generate. Inpainting is the right tool for the last 10% of a design — the one lamp you dislike, the radiator you want gone, the artwork that should be a mirror. It is far more efficient than regenerating the whole room and hoping the rest stays the same. ### What does Style Transfer do? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/tools/what-is-style-transfer Plan: Free and Pro Answer: Style Transfer applies the palette, materials and visual language of a reference image to your room. You can use one of DecorAI’s built-in references or upload any image — a fabric, an artwork, a Pinterest photo or another interior — and your room is regenerated in that look. #### Style Transfer vs Moodboard redesign | | Style Transfer | Moodboard redesign | | --- | --- | --- | | Reference | One image | A whole board of images | | Colour handling | Follows the reference image | Uses the board’s measured palette | | Best for | Copying one specific photo | Distilling a taste from many pins | | Saved for reuse | No | Yes, boards are saved and synced | If you keep coming back to the same handful of inspiration images, build a Moodboard instead — DecorAI will name the resulting style and reuse it consistently across rooms. ### What is Design Concepts (text to image)? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/tools/what-is-design-concepts Plan: Free and Pro Answer: Design Concepts generates an original space from a written description when you have no photo to start from. You describe the room you imagine and DecorAI creates a concept image of it, which is useful for new-build planning, mood setting and early ideas. Because there is no input photo, the result is not your room — it is a new space built from your description. Use it for inspiration, and switch to the Interior Designer as soon as you have a real photo. > Example prompts are shown in the app to help you start. Describe the room type, the style, the light and two or three key materials, and leave the rest to the AI. ### What are the DecorAI chat assistants and Milo? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/tools/ai-design-assistants Plan: Free and Pro Answer: DecorAI includes six specialised AI design assistants you can chat with — Tom (general interior design), Jane (design and decoration advice), Clara (styling and aesthetics), Marc (architecture and structure), Risa (colour, materials and mood) and Sven (Scandinavian and minimalist design) — plus Milo, a dedicated AI room planner for furniture sizing, traffic flow and layout decisions. #### When to ask an assistant instead of generating an image - "Will a 240 cm sofa work in a 3.4 m wide room?" — ask Milo - "Which white goes with oak floors and north-facing light?" — ask Risa - "How do I make this room feel calmer?" — ask Clara or Sven - "Can this wall come out?" — ask Marc for the considerations, then confirm with a structural engineer Chat conversations do not consume your daily design generations, so you can plan as much as you like before you generate an image. ## Room-by-room guides Practical DecorAI guides for every space: living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, home office, dining room, kids room, basement, hallway, small apartment, garage, balcony and more. Category URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/rooms ### How do I redesign my living room with AI? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/rooms/living-room Answer: Photograph the living room from the doorway or a corner so the seating area, the main focal point and at least one window are all in frame, then use the DecorAI Interior Designer with room type "living room". Living rooms respond best to a style plus one or two controls such as Add Ambient Lighting or Area Rugs. #### What to include in the photo - The full seating group — sofa, chairs and coffee table - The focal point: fireplace, TV wall or the main window - The floor line across the whole room, so the AI reads its size - At least one window, so it understands where the daylight comes from #### Settings that work well | Goal | Setup | | --- | --- | | New furniture, same room | Keep Exact Photo Angle + Replace Furniture | | Cosier evenings | Cozy Atmosphere + Add Ambient Lighting | | Room feels cramped | Space Maximization + Multi-Functional Furniture | | Rental-friendly refresh | Keep Room Details + Area Rugs + Plants and Greenery | > Living rooms are usually the widest room in the house, so this is the one photo where stepping back into the hallway genuinely helps. Do not reach for the ultra-wide lens instead — it bends the walls. - AI living room design: https://www.decoraihome.com/ai-living-room-design ### How do I redesign a bedroom with AI? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/rooms/bedroom Answer: Stand at the foot or corner of the room so the bed, the headboard wall and any windows are visible, then run the DecorAI Interior Designer with room type "bedroom". Bedrooms benefit from calm styles — Scandinavian, Japandi, Minimalist — plus Window Treatments and Add Ambient Lighting. #### Photograph it like this - Centre the bed and include the headboard wall — that wall is the design’s focal point - Include nightstands and any wardrobe or dresser for scale - Show the window, because bedroom lighting decisions depend on it - Make the bed first; a rumpled duvet reads as clutter to the AI #### What usually improves a bedroom most 1. Layered lighting instead of one ceiling light — try Add Ambient Lighting. 2. Floor-length curtains — Window Treatments. 3. A rug that runs under the bed — Area Rugs. 4. A calmer palette — pick a neutral or earth colour scheme. - AI bedroom design: https://www.decoraihome.com/ai-bedroom-design ### How do I visualise a kitchen remodel with AI? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/rooms/kitchen Answer: Photograph the kitchen from the entrance so the full run of cabinets, the worktop and the backsplash are in one frame, then use the DecorAI Interior Designer with room type "kitchen". To test only one element — the floor, for example — use the Floor Planner or the Inpainting editor instead so nothing else changes. #### Kitchens are the highest-stakes room A kitchen is usually the most expensive room in a renovation, so it is worth generating several versions before committing. Change one variable at a time — cabinet colour, then worktop, then flooring — so you can see what each decision is actually worth. #### Useful instructions - "Matte dark green cabinets, brass handles, white marble worktop, keep the layout" - "Same units, replace the tiled backsplash with large-format porcelain" - "Add an island with seating for three, keep the window and sink where they are" > Moving a sink, a hob or a run of units means moving plumbing, electrics and ventilation. The image will show it happily; a kitchen fitter must tell you what it costs and whether it is possible. - AI kitchen design: https://www.decoraihome.com/ai-kitchen-design ### How do I redesign a bathroom with AI? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/rooms/bathroom Answer: Bathrooms are small and often dark, so turn on every light, stand in the doorway, and get the vanity, mirror and shower or bath into one frame before running the DecorAI Interior Designer with room type "bathroom". Tile, vanity and lighting changes are what move a bathroom design most. #### The small-room problem You often cannot step back far enough in a bathroom. Shoot from just outside the door if you can, keep the camera level, and accept that a slight wide angle is better than cutting the room in half — just avoid the extreme 0.5x lens. #### What to try - Mirrors — the single most effective control in a small bathroom - Natural Light Enhancement if there is a window - Textured Walls for tile and panelling directions - The Floor Planner on its own to compare floor tiles without changing anything else > Waterproofing, ventilation, drainage and electrical zoning in a bathroom are regulated in most countries. Use the image to decide what you want, then take it to a qualified installer. - AI bathroom design: https://www.decoraihome.com/ai-bathroom-design ### How do I design a home office with AI? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/rooms/home-office Answer: Photograph the desk area together with the wall behind it and any window, then run the DecorAI Interior Designer with room type "home office". Built-In Shelving, Hidden Storage and Add Ambient Lighting are the controls that turn a corner with a desk into a room that works. #### What makes a home office photograph and function well - Desk placed so daylight arrives from the side, not behind the screen - Storage that hides cables and paper — try Hidden Storage - A wall treatment behind you, since that is what shows on video calls - Acoustic Panels if the room echoes If your office is a corner of another room rather than its own room, the AI Corner Designer is the better tool — it changes only that corner and leaves the rest of the room alone. ### How do I redesign a dining room or dining area with AI? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/rooms/dining-room Answer: Frame the table with the chairs pushed in and include the pendant light and at least one wall, then use the DecorAI Interior Designer with room type "dining room". If the dining area is part of an open-plan space, photograph the whole space and say so in the free-text field so the AI keeps both zones coherent. - Include the ceiling above the table — the pendant is usually the biggest single change - Push the chairs in so the table shape is legible - Statement Furniture Piece works particularly well here - Art Gallery Wall is a cheap, high-impact addition to test > Dining rooms are one of the few spaces where a bolder style pays off. Generate a safe version and a dramatic version — the dramatic one is often the keeper. ### How do I design a kids room or nursery with AI? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/rooms/kids-room Answer: Photograph the room with the toys tidied away, then use the DecorAI Interior Designer with room type "kids room" or "nursery" and describe the child’s age in the free-text field. Age matters more than style: a nursery, a six-year-old’s room and a teenager’s room need completely different furniture. #### Useful instructions - "Nursery for a newborn, cot, changing area, soft neutral palette, blackout curtains" - "Room for a 7-year-old, low open storage, desk for homework, room to play on the floor" - "Teenager’s room, double bed, desk, wardrobe, no childish motifs" - Hidden Storage and Multi-Functional Furniture earn their place in every kids room - Space Maximization helps when the room doubles as a playroom > Generated images are not safety guidance. Anchoring furniture to walls, blind-cord safety, cot standards and window restrictors are real-world requirements the AI knows nothing about. ### How do I design a small apartment or studio with AI? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/rooms/small-apartment Answer: Photograph each zone separately — sleeping, living, cooking — and generate them one at a time in the same style, using Space Maximization and Multi-Functional Furniture. For a studio where everything is in one frame, describe the zones in free text so the AI keeps them distinct. #### What works in small spaces 1. Space Maximization + Multi-Functional Furniture on every generation. 2. Mirrors, to double the perceived depth. 3. One large rug rather than several small ones — Area Rugs. 4. Hidden Storage, so surfaces stay clear. 5. A single light palette across the whole flat, so the eye is not stopped at every doorway. Free-text example: "studio flat, define a sleeping zone behind an open shelving unit, keep the walkway to the balcony clear, storage bed". ### How do I design a hallway or entryway with AI? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/rooms/hallway-entryway Answer: Shoot down the length of the hallway from the front door, or straight at the entry wall, then use the DecorAI Interior Designer with room type "hallway" or "entryway". Hallways are narrow, so the useful controls are Mirrors, Built-In Shelving, Hidden Storage and Add Ambient Lighting. - Shoot down the length, not across it — a hallway photographed side-on gives the AI nothing to work with - Include the floor and the ceiling; the proportions matter more here than in any other space - A bench, hooks and a mirror is the standard entryway upgrade — ask for it in free text For a dead end at the end of a corridor, use the AI Corner Designer instead — it is designed for exactly that kind of leftover space. ### How do I plan a basement or attic conversion with AI? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/rooms/basement-attic 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. - AI basement design ideas: https://www.decoraihome.com/blog/ai-basement-design-finish-ideas ### How do I design an open-plan space with AI? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/rooms/open-plan Answer: Photograph the whole space from the corner that sees the most of it, use the DecorAI Interior Designer, and name every zone in the free-text field — for example "kitchen, dining and living in one room; keep the island; define the living zone with a rug". The Open Floor Plan control helps when you also want the layout rethought. #### Keeping zones legible - Rugs are the cheapest zoning device — ask for one per zone - Lighting per zone: pendant over the table, lamps in the seating area - A consistent palette across the whole space, with one accent per zone - Open shelving or a sofa back as a soft divider > Generate the whole space once for the overall direction, then generate each zone close-up for the detail. The two together are far more convincing to a builder than either alone. ### Can DecorAI design a garage, laundry or utility room? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/rooms/garage-utility Answer: Yes. Photograph the space cleared as much as possible and use the DecorAI Interior Designer with room type "garage", "laundry room" or the closest match, then describe the intended use. Storage-led spaces respond best to Built-In Shelving, Hidden Storage and Space Maximization. - "Garage converted to a gym, rubber flooring, wall storage, keep the door" - "Laundry room with stacked machines, folding counter, drying rail" - "Utility room, floor-to-ceiling cupboards, sink, space for boots and coats" These rooms usually fail on storage rather than style, so a single generation with Built-In Shelving and Hidden Storage often solves the whole problem. ### How do I design a balcony, patio or terrace with AI? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/rooms/balcony-patio Answer: Shoot the outdoor space from the doorway looking out, including the floor surface and the railing or boundary, then use AI Garden Design with the matching space type — balcony garden, patio or terrace. Seating, planting and outdoor lighting are the three elements that transform a small outdoor space. - Include the boundary — railing, fence or wall — so the AI reads the size - Shoot in daylight; outdoor spaces photograph badly at night - Ask for planting in containers if you cannot plant into the ground - Outdoor lighting is what makes a balcony usable in the evening — request it explicitly > On a rental balcony, ask for "freestanding furniture and container planting only, nothing fixed to the walls or railing". ### How do I improve the front of my house with AI? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/rooms/front-of-house Answer: Stand across the street, shoot the facade in daylight with the roofline and the ground both in frame, and use AI Exterior Design. Front door colour, lighting, planting and the path are the changes that alter kerb appeal most for the least money — test each one separately. #### Cheap changes worth testing first 1. Front door colour and furniture (handle, knocker, number). 2. Exterior lighting either side of the door. 3. Planting in beds or large pots by the entrance. 4. The path and driveway surface. 5. Window trim colour. Do the expensive items — render, cladding, new windows, roof — as a separate generation, so you can see whether the cheap changes were already enough. - AI exterior design: https://www.decoraihome.com/ai-exterior-design ## Design styles explained Plain-English definitions of the interior design styles DecorAI generates — Modern, Minimalist, Scandinavian, Japandi, Industrial, Bohemian, Coastal, Farmhouse, Mid-Century Modern, Art Deco, Traditional, Mediterranean, Rustic and Maximalist — with the settings that produce each look. Category URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/styles ### What is modern interior design? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/styles/modern Answer: Modern interior design means clean lines, uncluttered surfaces, flat cabinet fronts and a restrained palette, usually with one or two strong materials rather than many. In DecorAI, choose the Modern style with a neutral or monochrome colour scheme; add Open Floor Plan if you also want the layout simplified. #### Signature elements - Straight lines, low-profile furniture, minimal ornament - Neutral base — white, grey, black — with one accent - Materials: glass, steel, smooth wood, polished concrete - Recessed or architectural lighting rather than decorative fittings #### Modern vs contemporary They are not the same. "Modern" is a defined 20th-century look with a fixed vocabulary. "Contemporary" simply means what is fashionable now, so it shifts over time and is usually softer, with more curves and warmer tones. DecorAI offers both as separate styles — generate one of each and the difference is obvious. > Modern can read cold in a photo. Add Cozy Atmosphere or Area Rugs to keep it liveable without losing the discipline. ### What is minimalist interior design? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/styles/minimalist Answer: Minimalist interior design strips a room to what is necessary: few objects, hidden storage, a tight neutral palette and a lot of empty surface. In DecorAI, choose Minimalist with a neutral colour scheme and add Hidden Storage; avoid stacking on decorative controls, which work against the style. #### Signature elements - Very limited palette, often white, grey and one wood tone - Storage that disappears — handleless doors, built-ins - One or two deliberate objects instead of many small ones - Texture doing the work that pattern would do elsewhere Minimalism is expensive to fake and cheap to live in: the look depends on storage and restraint rather than on buying things. That makes it a good style for a small flat, provided you actually declutter first — the AI will show a tidy room even if yours is not. > Do not combine Minimalist with Art Gallery Wall, Maximalist instructions or five other controls. Competing requests average into something bland. ### What is Scandinavian interior design? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/styles/scandinavian Answer: Scandinavian design is light, functional and warm: pale wood, white or soft-grey walls, simple shapes and a lot of natural light, softened with wool, linen and greenery. In DecorAI, choose Scandinavian with a light neutral colour scheme and add Natural Light Enhancement and Plants and Greenery. #### Signature elements - Light woods: ash, birch, pale oak - White or chalky walls, soft grey and muted accents - Textiles everywhere — wool throws, linen curtains, sheepskin - Functional, unfussy furniture with visible legs - Candles and layered lamps rather than one bright ceiling light It is the most forgiving style DecorAI offers and one of the safest choices for a room you want to sell, rent or simply live in for a decade. It also photographs extremely well, which is why estate agents use it constantly for staging. ### What is Japandi style? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/styles/japandi Answer: Japandi is a hybrid of Japanese and Scandinavian design: the warmth and light woods of Scandinavian interiors combined with Japanese restraint, low furniture and darker accents. In DecorAI, choose the Japandi style with a warm neutral or earth colour scheme — you do not need to blend two styles yourself. #### Signature elements - Low-slung furniture and clear floor space - A pairing of light wood with a near-black accent - Handmade ceramics, paper shades, natural fibres - Muted greens and clays rather than bright colour - Deliberate empty space treated as part of the design Japandi suits rooms that feel busy: it removes visual noise without going as stark as pure minimalism. It works particularly well in bedrooms and in open-plan spaces that need calming. ### What is industrial interior design? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/styles/industrial Answer: Industrial design borrows from converted factories and warehouses: exposed brick, visible ductwork and beams, black metal, raw concrete and reclaimed wood. In DecorAI, choose Industrial and add Exposed Beams and Textured Walls; a dark or monochrome colour scheme reinforces it. #### Signature elements - Exposed brick, concrete or plaster left rough - Black steel frames — windows, shelving, stair rails - Reclaimed and unfinished timber - Filament and cage lighting, often hung low - Leather, canvas and heavy textiles > Industrial can go grim in a room with little daylight. Pair it with Add Ambient Lighting and one warm material — leather or oak — to stop it reading as a basement. ### What is bohemian (boho) interior design? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/styles/bohemian Answer: Bohemian design is layered and collected: pattern on pattern, plants, rattan and macramé, warm earthy colour, and furniture that clearly came from different places. In DecorAI, choose Bohemian with a warm or earth colour scheme and add Plants and Greenery, Area Rugs and Textured Walls. #### Signature elements - Layered rugs and stacked cushions - Rattan, cane, jute and macramé - Lots of plants, at several heights - Terracotta, ochre, rust and deep green - Vintage and handmade pieces mixed deliberately Boho is one of the few styles where more is genuinely better, so it tolerates several decorative controls at once — the usual advice to pick two or three is looser here. ### What is coastal interior design? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/styles/coastal Answer: Coastal design is light, airy and sea-referenced without being nautical kitsch: whites and soft blues, pale wood, linen, rattan and as much daylight as possible. In DecorAI, choose Coastal with a light or blue colour scheme and add Natural Light Enhancement and Window Treatments. #### Signature elements - White, sand, driftwood grey and soft blue-green - Slipcovered, relaxed upholstery - Natural fibres — jute, linen, rattan, sisal - Sheer curtains and unobstructed windows - Weathered rather than glossy finishes > If you want the calm without the theme, ask in free text for "coastal palette, no nautical motifs, no rope or anchor detailing". ### What is farmhouse and modern farmhouse style? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/styles/farmhouse Answer: Farmhouse style is rural and practical — shaker cabinets, apron sinks, painted timber, wide-plank floors and generous, hardwearing furniture. Modern farmhouse keeps that vocabulary but cleans it up with white walls, black fittings and simpler lines. Both are available as styles in DecorAI. #### Signature elements - Shaker doors, beadboard, tongue-and-groove panelling - Apron-front sinks and open shelving in kitchens - Wide-plank or reclaimed timber floors - Black metal hardware and lighting against white walls - Practical, generously scaled furniture It is the most popular kitchen style DecorAI generates, and it is a safe default for a family kitchen you want to keep for years. Pair it with Exposed Beams if your ceiling can carry them. ### What is mid-century modern design? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/styles/mid-century-modern Answer: Mid-century modern is the 1945–1970 look: warm woods such as walnut and teak, tapered legs, organic curves, and confident colours like mustard, olive and burnt orange against white walls. In DecorAI, choose Mid-Century Modern and add Statement Furniture Piece. #### Signature elements - Walnut and teak, oiled rather than lacquered - Tapered or splayed legs, furniture that sits off the floor - Curved, sculptural shapes among the straight lines - Mustard, olive, teal, burnt orange as accents - Globe and sputnik lighting, geometric textiles Because the furniture sits raised on legs, mid-century modern makes a small room look larger — the floor stays visible. It is a strong choice for a compact living room. ### What is Art Deco interior design? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/styles/art-deco Answer: Art Deco is glamorous and geometric: bold symmetry, fluting and stepped forms, brass and lacquer, velvet, marble, and deep saturated colour. In DecorAI, choose Art Deco with a jewel-tone or monochrome colour scheme and add Crown Molding or Accent Wall. #### Signature elements - Strong symmetry and repeated geometric motifs - Brass, chrome, black lacquer, mirrored surfaces - Velvet, marble, high-gloss finishes - Emerald, sapphire, oxblood and gold - Fluted panels, stepped profiles, sunburst detailing > Art Deco is best used in one room — a dining room, a bar corner, a bathroom — rather than a whole house. Generate it alongside a calmer version and see which you can live with. ### What is traditional style, and how is it different from transitional? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/styles/traditional Answer: Traditional interiors are formal and classical: symmetry, panelling, mouldings, patterned fabrics and antique-inspired furniture. Transitional sits between traditional and modern — the same comfortable proportions, but with the ornament stripped back and a neutral palette. DecorAI offers both. | | Traditional | Transitional | | --- | --- | --- | | Palette | Rich, layered, often warm | Neutral with restrained accents | | Ornament | Mouldings, panelling, carving | Simplified, minimal detail | | Pattern | Florals, damask, stripes | Texture rather than pattern | | Furniture | Antique-inspired, skirted, carved | Clean-lined but comfortable | | Feels | Formal, established | Calm, current, easy to live with | In DecorAI, add Crown Molding, Wainscoting and Archways to push a room traditional; leave them off and choose a neutral colour scheme for a transitional result. ### What is Mediterranean interior design? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/styles/mediterranean Answer: Mediterranean design is sun-worn and tactile: lime-plastered or whitewashed walls, terracotta, arches, dark timber, wrought iron and warm earth colours. In DecorAI, choose Mediterranean with an earth or warm neutral colour scheme and add Archways and Textured Walls. #### Signature elements - Hand-finished plaster and lime-washed walls - Terracotta tile, stone floors, arched openings - Dark stained beams and wrought-iron detail - Olive, ochre, clay, deep blue accents - Woven and handmade textiles and ceramics It shares warmth with Rustic and colour with Bohemian but is more architectural than either — the arches and plaster do most of the work. ### What is rustic interior design? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/styles/rustic Answer: Rustic interiors celebrate rough, natural materials: unfinished timber, stone, exposed beams, leather and heavy textiles, with a warm earthy palette. In DecorAI, choose Rustic and add Exposed Beams and Textured Walls; Cozy Atmosphere reinforces it further. #### Signature elements - Raw or reclaimed timber with the grain visible - Stone walls, fireplaces and hearths - Heavy, solid furniture; leather and wool - Warm browns, greens and rust - Handmade rather than machined finishes Rustic overlaps with Farmhouse and Industrial. The quick distinction: rustic is rough and natural, farmhouse is painted and practical, industrial is metal and concrete. ### What is maximalist interior design? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/styles/maximalist Answer: Maximalism is the deliberate opposite of minimalism: layered pattern, saturated colour, full gallery walls, collected objects and more furniture rather than less. In DecorAI, choose Maximalist with a bold or jewel colour scheme and add Art Gallery Wall, Textured Walls and Area Rugs. #### Signature elements - Several patterns in one room, held together by a shared palette - Saturated wall colour, often on all four walls plus the ceiling - Densely hung art and collected objects - Rich materials — velvet, brass, lacquer, marble > Maximalism only works when something ties it together. Ask for a limiting rule in free text — "everything within a green and pink palette" — or the result reads as clutter rather than design. ### Which design styles work best in a small or dark room? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/styles/best-style-for-small-dark-rooms Answer: For small or dark rooms, Scandinavian, Coastal, Minimalist and Japandi work best: they use light palettes, raised furniture and reflective surfaces that make a space read larger and brighter. Industrial, Maximalist and heavy Traditional schemes tend to make a small dark room feel smaller. | Style | Small room | Dark room | | --- | --- | --- | | Scandinavian | Excellent | Excellent | | Coastal | Excellent | Very good | | Minimalist | Excellent | Good | | Japandi | Very good | Good | | Mid-Century Modern | Very good — raised furniture shows the floor | Fair | | Industrial | Fair | Poor | | Maximalist | Poor | Poor | Whichever style you pick, the controls matter as much: Mirrors, Natural Light Enhancement, Space Maximization and Multi-Functional Furniture do more for a small dark room than the style label does. > A dark room can also be embraced rather than fought. Generate one light version and one deliberately dark, moody version — the second often wins in a room that will never get much daylight. ## Photos and uploads How to photograph a room for AI interior design: lighting, angle, framing, resolution, supported file formats and the mistakes that ruin a generation. Category URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/photos ### What makes a good photo for AI interior design? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/photos/best-photo-for-ai-design Answer: The best photo for DecorAI is taken from a doorway or corner, holds the camera level at about chest height, shows the floor, the walls and part of the ceiling, and is evenly lit and in focus. A photo like that gives the AI enough structure to keep your room recognisable while it restyles it. #### The five rules 1. Stand in a doorway or corner so you capture two walls and the depth of the room. 2. Hold the phone level — not tilted up or down. A tilted camera makes walls lean and the AI copies the lean. 3. Include the floor line and some ceiling; those edges are how the AI understands the room’s size. 4. Turn the lights on and open the curtains. Even light beats dramatic light. 5. Hold still and check focus before you shoot. A slightly blurred photo produces a mushy design. #### Avoid - Extreme wide-angle or fisheye lenses — they bend the walls - Shooting into a bright window, which silhouettes the whole room - Photos of one wall only, with no floor visible - Screenshots of photos, which lose detail - Heavy filters, HDR extremes or beauty modes > In DecorAI, a Photo tips sheet appears the first time you open a photo screen. You can reopen it any time from the "Photo tips" pill above the upload area. ### How important is lighting, and can I use photos taken at night? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/photos/photo-lighting Answer: Even, bright lighting produces the most accurate DecorAI results. Night photos work but are noticeably weaker: the AI has less information about materials and depth, so colours and surfaces come back less faithful. Turn on every light in the room, or shoot again during the day. #### Good light, in order of preference 1. Daylight with the curtains open, on an overcast day — the softest, most even option. 2. Daylight plus the room lights on, to lift the shadows. 3. All artificial lights on at night, with no single harsh source in frame. 4. One lamp in a dark room — usable, but expect a weaker result. > Do not shoot directly into a bright window. The camera exposes for the window, the room goes dark, and the AI has almost nothing to read. Stand with the window to your side instead. If your room genuinely is dark, say so in the free-text field ("north-facing room with little daylight") and add the Natural Light Enhancement control — you will get a realistic brightening rather than a fantasy. ### What angle and framing should I use? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/photos/photo-angles Answer: Shoot from a corner or doorway at roughly chest height, with the camera held level and both a floor line and a ceiling line in the frame. That framing gives DecorAI the perspective cues it needs; close-ups of a single wall, ceiling-only shots and steep downward angles produce the weakest results. | Framing | Result quality | | --- | --- | | Corner or doorway, level camera, whole room | Best | | Straight-on wall with floor and ceiling visible | Good | | Wide-angle phone lens (0.5x) | Usable, but expect bent walls | | Close-up of one piece of furniture | Poor — the AI has no room to redesign | | Tilted up or down at a steep angle | Poor — the perspective distorts | If you want the design to match your photo exactly, enable Keep Exact Photo Angle. If you would rather see the room from a nicer viewpoint, use Change Photo Angle and let the AI re-frame it. ### Should I tidy or remove furniture before taking the photo? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/photos/should-i-tidy-first Answer: A quick tidy helps, but you do not need to empty the room. DecorAI works with furnished rooms, and existing furniture actually helps the AI judge scale. Remove obvious clutter — laundry, boxes, cables, bins — because heavy clutter competes with the redesign. #### Worth clearing - Piles of clothes, toys, papers and boxes - Drying racks, bins, visible cables and chargers - Anything blocking a window or a doorway #### Fine to leave - Sofas, beds, tables, wardrobes — the AI can replace or keep them - Rugs, curtains and lamps - Plants and artwork If the room is genuinely too full to read, run Empty the Room first and then design from the cleared result. ### Which image formats and sizes does DecorAI accept? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/photos/image-formats-and-size Answer: DecorAI accepts standard photo formats including JPG, PNG, HEIC and WEBP — which covers essentially every photo an iPhone or Android phone takes. Aim for at least about 1024 pixels on the shortest side; ordinary phone photos are comfortably above that. - Straight-from-the-camera phone photos are ideal - Screenshots work but lose detail — use the original where possible - Very large files simply take longer to upload; the wait is upload time, not AI time - You can crop the photo inside DecorAI before generating > If an upload fails repeatedly on a mobile connection, try again on Wi-Fi or crop the photo first — a smaller file is often all it takes. ### How should I photograph a house exterior or garden? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/photos/exterior-photo-tips Answer: Photograph exteriors and gardens in daylight, standing far enough back to include the roofline or the full boundary of the space, with the camera roughly level and the sun behind you. Avoid photographing a facade at a steep angle, and keep cars, bins and people out of the frame where possible. #### Facades - Stand across the street if you can, so the whole building fits without tilting the camera up - Shoot on an overcast day or in the morning — midday sun creates hard shadows across the facade - Take one straight-on shot and one three-quarter shot; the three-quarter usually looks better as a render #### Gardens and yards - Shoot from the house looking out, and again from the far end looking back - Include some of the boundary — fence, hedge or wall — so the AI knows the size of the plot - Include the ground surface across the whole frame; that is what the AI redesigns first ### Can I use real-estate listing photos or photos I did not take? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/photos/use-listing-photos Answer: Yes, DecorAI works well with professional listing photos, and estate agents use them constantly for staging and restyling. Only upload images you have the right to use — your own photos, your own listings, or images you have permission to edit. Professional property photography is usually well lit, level and wide, which is exactly what the AI likes. That is why staging results from listing photos often look better than results from casual phone snaps. > Photographs are usually owned by the photographer or the agency that commissioned them. Do not upload someone else’s listing photos, or images you found online, unless you have permission to use and modify them. If you are publishing a virtually staged image in a property listing, disclose that the furniture was added digitally. ### Can there be people in my photo? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/photos/photos-of-people Answer: DecorAI is built for rooms, buildings and outdoor spaces, not for photographs of people, and every upload passes an automated safety check. People incidentally present in the space — or depicted in framed photos, posters, artwork or a TV screen — are normally fine, but a photo whose subject is a person will be rejected. If an upload is refused, retake the photo of the empty space. It is also the better input: a person standing in the middle of a room hides the floor and the furniture the AI needs to see. > Family photos on the wall, a portrait above the sofa or a face on the television do not normally trigger a refusal. If they do, crop the frame slightly and try again. ## Moodboards & inspiration How DecorAI Moodboards work: creating boards, adding images from Pinterest and Instagram, the measured colour palette, board notes, limits, and redesigning a real room from a board. Category URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/moodboards ### What are Moodboards in DecorAI? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/moodboards/what-are-moodboards Plan: Free and Pro Platforms: iOS, Android, Web Answer: Moodboards are private inspiration boards inside DecorAI. You collect reference images on a board, DecorAI measures the board’s real colour palette from those images, and then redesigns a photo of your own room in that exact look. Boards sync between iPhone, iPad, Android and the web app when you sign in with the same account. A Moodboard closes the gap between "I have 40 saved pins" and "my living room looks like that". Instead of describing your taste in words, you show it — and DecorAI works out the style brief for you. #### What a board contains - Up to 10 images, shown as a Pinterest-style collage - A colour palette card measured from the actual pixels of those images - A Notes tab for ideas, measurements and links - A room-type label, so boards can be filtered by living room, bedroom, kitchen and so on Boards are private. They are not published to the Community and are visible only to your account. ### How do I create a Moodboard? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/moodboards/create-a-board Answer: On mobile, open the Moodboards card on the DecorAI home screen and tap to create a new board; in the web app, open Moodboards from the Library section of the left menu or the dashboard card. Name the board, optionally set a room type, then add images. 1. Open Moodboards (home-screen card on mobile, Library menu or dashboard card on web). 2. Create a new board and give it a name — "Bedroom, warm minimal" is more useful than "Board 1". 3. Optionally pick a room type so you can filter boards later. 4. Add your first images. 5. Open the board to see the collage, the measured palette and the Notes tab. Boards can be renamed or deleted at any time from the menu on the board card, and the overview can be searched and sorted by newest or by name. > The deep link decorai://create/moodboard opens the Moodboards section directly on mobile — handy for shortcuts and widgets. ### How do I add images to a Moodboard? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/moodboards/add-images Answer: There are four ways: share an image or link into DecorAI from another app using "Add to DecorAI Moodboard" in the system share menu, upload one or more files directly inside a board, use the "My Moodboards" tile inside the Interior Designer style row, or import from a Pinterest or Instagram post. | Method | Where | Good for | | --- | --- | --- | | System share sheet — "Add to DecorAI Moodboard" | iPhone and Android | Saving a pin or photo while you browse | | Direct upload inside a board | Mobile and web | Adding several files at once | | "My Moodboards" tile in the style row | Interior Designer | Using a board while already designing — your room photo carries over | | Pinterest / Instagram import | Mobile and web | Bringing in a pin or post without screenshotting | The share option accepts both images and links. A Pinterest pin URL is resolved to its image automatically, and then a board picker appears so you can choose where it goes. Inside a board, a thumbnail strip with an edit mode lets you remove individual pins you no longer want. ### Can I import images from Pinterest or Instagram? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/moodboards/pinterest-instagram-import Answer: Yes. DecorAI can bring an image directly from a Pinterest pin or an Instagram post into the app instead of you screenshotting it. The imported image can be used as a Style Transfer reference, saved to a Moodboard, or used as the starting point for a new design. 1. Open the pin or post in Pinterest or Instagram. 2. Use the app’s share option and choose DecorAI ("Add to DecorAI Moodboard" to save it to a board). 3. Pick the board, or continue straight into a design. > Screenshotting a pin loses resolution and adds interface elements. Importing keeps the original image, which produces a noticeably better Style Transfer. Inspiration images stay in your private board. Only use images you have the right to use, and remember that a generated design based on an inspiration photo is a new image, not a copy of the original. ### How does the Moodboard colour palette work? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/moodboards/moodboard-color-palette Answer: DecorAI reads the actual pixels of every image saved on the board and merges the top five colours across the whole board into one palette card. The palette is measured on your device rather than guessed by the AI, it is instant and free, and those exact colours are used when you redesign a room from the board. This matters because "warm neutral" means something different to every AI model. When the palette is measured from your own references, the redesign matches the colours you actually liked rather than an approximation of the words you used. - Five merged colours across the whole board - Extracted on the device — no upload, no waiting, no cost - The same extraction technique used for the Design Report palette - Updates automatically as you add or remove images ### How do I redesign my room from a Moodboard? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/moodboards/redesign-from-a-board Answer: Open the board, choose the redesign action, then add a photo of your real room from the gallery or camera plus any extra instructions. DecorAI studies the whole board, writes a style brief, names the resulting style and redesigns your room in that look using the board’s exact colours. 1. Open the board you want to use. 2. Start a redesign from the board. 3. Add a photo of the room — or, if you came in through the "My Moodboards" tile in the Interior Designer, your photo is already carried over. 4. Optionally add instructions ("keep the existing floor", "we need seating for six"). 5. Generate. The result is saved to History like any other design and supports Design Reports. The style name the AI writes is saved back to the board and fills in the board description, so the board gradually becomes a named, reusable style you can apply to other rooms. > On the free plan a board redesign is unlocked with a rewarded video like any other free generation. It does not use credits — DecorAI has no credit system. ### How many Moodboards and images can I have? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/moodboards/board-limits Answer: Each Moodboard holds up to 10 images. Free users can keep 2 boards; Pro users have unlimited boards. Boards and their images sync across your devices when you are signed in. | | Free | Pro | | --- | --- | --- | | Boards | 2 | Unlimited | | Images per board | 10 | 10 | | Palette extraction | Included | Included | | Board redesign | Uses a daily free generation (rewarded video) | Unlimited, no ads | > Ten images is deliberately tight. A board of ten strong, consistent references produces a far cleaner style brief than a board of fifty contradictory ones. ### Can I keep notes on a board, and do boards sync between devices? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/moodboards/board-notes-and-sync Answer: Yes. Every Moodboard has a Notes tab for free-text ideas, measurements and links, kept per board. Boards, images and notes sync between iPhone, iPad, Android and the web app whenever you are signed in with the same account. - Notes are private to your account, like the board itself - Use them for room measurements, product links, paint codes and budgets - A board created on your phone appears in the web app, and vice versa > Sync requires an account. If you use DecorAI signed out, boards live only on that device and are lost if the app is removed. ## Room Analysis & Design Reports How AI Room Analysis scores a room, what a DecorAI Design Report contains, how the cost estimate and colour palette are produced, and how to export a report as a PDF. Category URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/analysis-reports ### What is AI Room Analysis? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/analysis-reports/what-is-room-analysis Plan: Pro Platforms: iOS, Android, Web Answer: AI Room Analysis reads a photo of your room and returns a structured critique instead of a redesign: an overall score out of 100, an architecture score with a written critique, a wellbeing score with three observations, three strengths, three weaknesses and an improvement prompt you can hand straight to the AI Interior Designer. It requires a Pro subscription. #### What you get back | Field | What it means | | --- | --- | | Room type | What the AI identified the space as | | Overall score (0–100) | A single headline number for the room as it is today | | Architecture score + critique | Proportion, light, structure and how the space is organised | | Wellbeing score + 3 observations | How the room feels to be in: light, air, flow and calm | | 3 strengths | What already works and should be kept | | 3 weaknesses | The specific problems worth fixing | | Improvement prompt | An AI-written instruction you can send straight to a redesign | The improvement prompt is the most useful part in practice: instead of guessing what to ask for, you get a sentence written for your specific room, which you can drop into the Interior Designer as-is or edit first. > The Room Analysis screen is visible to everyone, but running an analysis requires Pro. The analysis does not use up a design generation. ### How are the Room Analysis scores calculated, and are they objective? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/analysis-reports/how-scores-work Plan: Pro Answer: The scores are an AI judgement of your photo on a 0–100 scale across three dimensions — overall, architecture and wellbeing. They are a consistent, structured opinion rather than a measurement, so use them to compare before and after or to prioritise what to fix, not as an absolute rating of your home. #### What actually moves the score - Light: how much natural light reaches the space and how it is distributed - Proportion and layout: whether furniture suits the size of the room and traffic can flow - Cohesion: whether materials, colours and styles agree with each other - Clutter and visual noise - Architectural features: what the room has going for it structurally > The most useful way to use scores: analyse the room, generate a redesign, then analyse the redesign. The gap between the two scores tells you whether the change is actually an improvement. Scores can vary slightly between runs on the same photo, because the AI re-reads the image each time. Large swings usually mean the photo is ambiguous — poor light or an unclear framing — rather than the room being borderline. ### Why does Room Analysis say my photo is not a room? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/analysis-reports/not-a-room Plan: Pro Answer: AI Room Analysis only accepts photographs of real rooms and spaces. If the photo is a person, a product shot, a document, a screenshot, a drawing or an image too close or too dark to read as a room, DecorAI refuses it and shows a "not a room" message. Retake the photo from a doorway or corner with the lights on, and it will normally be accepted. #### Common causes - A close-up of a single object or wall with no room context - A photo taken in near darkness - A floor plan, sketch or 3D render rather than a photograph - A screenshot of a listing page, including the browser interface - A photo of a person or a pet as the subject This is a deliberate check, not a bug: an analysis of something that is not a room would return scores that mean nothing. ### What is a DecorAI Design Report? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/analysis-reports/what-is-a-design-report Plan: Pro Platforms: iOS, Android, Web Answer: A Design Report is a written analysis of a finished design. It contains a style profile and designer’s assessment, the colour palette with hex values, a before-and-after list of what changed, five to seven prioritised recommendations, a three-tier cost estimate with per-category breakdown, an ordered action plan, and a branded PDF export. Design Reports require Pro. A generated image tells you what a room could look like. A Design Report tells you what it would take to get there — which is the part most people are missing when they take an AI render to a contractor or a shopping trip. #### Where to find it 1. Generate a design in any DecorAI tool. 2. On the result screen, open the Design Report card. 3. The report is written once and then saved with the design. 4. Reopening the design later — including from History, on another device, or in the web app — reopens the saved report instantly. > Generating a Design Report does not consume a design generation, and the report is stored with that design rather than being re-written each time you open it. ### What is inside a Design Report, section by section? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/analysis-reports/report-sections Plan: Pro Answer: A DecorAI Design Report contains eight parts: style profile and designer’s assessment, a named colour palette with hex codes, a before-and-after comparison, five to seven designer recommendations, a three-tier cost estimate, a per-category cost breakdown, an ordered action plan tagged by effort, and handoff links to redesign the room again. | Section | What it gives you | | --- | --- | | Style profile & assessment | What the design is, in a designer’s words, and why it works | | Colour palette | The actual colours of the image with names and hex values | | Before and after | A list of what changed between your photo and the design | | Recommendations | 5–7 prioritised, specific improvements | | Cost estimate | Budget, mid-range and premium versions of the same design | | Cost breakdown | Ranges per category — flooring, furniture, lighting, decor and so on | | Action plan | An ordered list tagged quick win, weekend job or project | | Redesign handoffs | Shortcuts back into the design tools to act on a recommendation | The colour palette is measured from the actual pixels of the generated image on your device, then named by the AI — so the hex values are real, not invented. ### How accurate is the cost estimate, and which currency is it in? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/analysis-reports/report-costs Plan: Pro Answer: The Design Report cost estimate is priced in your own local currency, resolved from your device region, and is given as three tiers — budget, mid-range and premium — plus per-category ranges. Treat it as a planning-grade order of magnitude, not a quotation: real prices depend on your country, your suppliers and your labour costs. #### How to use the estimate - Compare tiers, not absolutes: the useful signal is that a premium version costs roughly three times the budget one - Use the per-category breakdown to see where the money actually goes — often lighting and flooring, not furniture - Take the category list to a supplier for a real quote > Estimates exclude labour rates specific to your area, delivery, waste removal, permits and VAT or sales tax treatment. They will not match a contractor’s quotation. Reports created before local-currency pricing was introduced keep the amounts they were written with. Generate a fresh report on a new design if you want current local pricing. ### How do I export a Design Report as a PDF? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/analysis-reports/report-pdf Plan: Pro Answer: Open the Design Report and choose the PDF export. DecorAI produces a branded multi-page PDF with the DecorAI header, the date and every section of the report, which you can save, print, email or hand to a contractor or client. - The PDF contains the same sections as the on-screen report, laid out for print - Each page carries the DecorAI header and the export date - There is also a share card if you only want a single image to post or message > The PDF is the format to bring to a builder, a joiner or a paint shop. The palette page with hex values is often the single most useful sheet. ### Where are my saved Design Reports? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/analysis-reports/find-my-reports Plan: Pro Answer: Design Reports are saved with the design they describe. Open the design from History — on any device signed in to the same account — and the report card reopens the saved report instantly instead of writing a new one. Reports created on mobile are also readable in the web app, and vice versa. 1. Open History. 2. Tap the design you generated the report for. 3. The report card shows "Open Report" rather than "Create Report". Reports are stored both on the device and in your account, so they survive a reinstall as long as you were signed in when the report was created. ### What is the difference between Room Analysis and a Design Report? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/analysis-reports/analysis-vs-report Plan: Pro Answer: AI Room Analysis critiques the room you have today, from a photo, and gives you scores and an improvement prompt. A Design Report explains a design you have already generated, with a palette, recommendations, costs and an action plan. Both require Pro, and the natural order is analysis first, then design, then report. | | AI Room Analysis | Design Report | | --- | --- | --- | | Input | A photo of your real room | A design you generated | | Question it answers | "What is wrong with this room?" | "How do I build this design?" | | Output | Scores, strengths, weaknesses, improvement prompt | Palette, recommendations, costs, action plan, PDF | | Best moment to use it | Before you design | After you design | A complete workflow: analyse the room, take the improvement prompt into the Interior Designer, generate two or three versions, pick one, and generate a Design Report on the winner. ## History, Projects & Community Finding saved designs in History, organising work into Projects, saving and sharing images, and how the DecorAI Community works. Category URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/projects-history ### Where are my generated designs saved? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/projects-history/where-are-my-designs Answer: Every DecorAI generation is saved automatically to History inside the app. If you are signed in, History is stored in your account and appears on every device you use — phone, tablet and the web app at app.decoraihome.com. - History keeps the finished design, the original photo and the settings you used - Designs can be reopened, compared, shared, deleted or handed to a Design Report - History can be filtered by Project - Saved Design Reports reopen from the design they belong to > If you use DecorAI without signing in, History exists only on that device. Sign in before you build up work you care about, so it survives a reinstall or a new phone. ### What are Projects in DecorAI? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/projects-history/what-are-projects Answer: A Project groups everything related to one space or one job: a guided Analyze, Plan and Redesign workflow, a written plan, a checklist, a summary, a status and all the designs you generated for it. Projects can be saved, resumed, renamed, shared and marked as Plan, Redesign or Completed. #### The three stages 1. Analyze — understand the space you are starting from. 2. Plan — a written plan and a checklist of what needs to happen. 3. Redesign — the generated designs that belong to this project. Projects are what turn a folder of pretty images into an actual plan. If you are redoing more than one room, create one project per room and keep the same style across all of them. > The deep link decorai://projects opens the Projects section directly on mobile. ### How do I find all the designs that belong to one project? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/projects-history/filter-by-project Answer: Open History and filter by the project. Every design generated while a project is active is tagged with it, so filtering shows only that room’s or that job’s work, in the order you created it. 1. Open History. 2. Apply the project filter. 3. Pick the project you want to review. This is the fastest way to present options to a partner or a client: filter to the project, then swipe through the versions side by side. ### How do I save or download a design to my device? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/projects-history/save-to-device Answer: Open the design and use the save or download action on the result screen. Images saved on the free plan carry a small DecorAI watermark; Pro saves the image without any watermark. - On mobile the image is saved to your photo library - In the web app it downloads to your browser’s downloads folder - A Design Report (Pro) can additionally be exported as a branded PDF > You keep ownership of the photos you upload. Generated images are yours to use — Pro removes the watermark, which is what makes them suitable for client presentations, listings and portfolios. See the Terms of Service for the exact wording. ### How do I share a design? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/projects-history/share-a-design Answer: Use the share action on any finished design to send it to Pinterest, Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, Facebook, X, email or a message, or to copy it into any other app on your device. You can also publish it to the DecorAI Community so other users can see it. - Share the finished image, the before-and-after, or a Design Report share card - Publishing to the Community is separate from sharing to social apps — it is opt-in per design - Tag @decoraiapp if you want a chance of being featured ### What is the DecorAI Community? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/projects-history/community Answer: The Community is a public feed inside DecorAI where users share their designs. You can browse, search and filter it, see trending designs, like and bookmark, publish your own designs, delete your own posts and report inappropriate content. - Browsing the Community is free and does not use a generation - Publishing is opt-in — nothing you generate is public unless you choose to publish it - You can delete your own posts at any time - Inappropriate content can be reported from the post > The Community is a good place to find styles you did not know you liked. Filter for a room type close to yours and look at what other people generated. ### How do I delete a design, a project or a Community post? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/projects-history/delete-a-design Answer: Designs can be deleted from History, projects from the Projects list, and your own Community posts from the post itself. Deleting a design removes it from your account and from every device signed in to it. - History → open the design → delete - Projects → open the project → delete (this does not delete the designs unless you remove them too) - Community → your post → delete > Deletion is permanent. If you want to keep a design, save it to your device before deleting it from History. To delete your whole account and all associated data, see the account deletion article. ### How long are my designs kept? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/projects-history/how-long-are-designs-kept Answer: Designs stay in your DecorAI History until you delete them or delete your account. Signing in keeps them in your account rather than only on the device, so they survive reinstalling the app or switching phones. There is no expiry date on saved designs. The practical risk is not time — it is being signed out: work generated while signed out lives only on that device. > Before changing phones, sign in on the old device so History uploads, then sign in on the new one. ## Plans, pricing & billing What DecorAI costs, what Pro adds, how to subscribe, cancel, restore a purchase or request a refund on iOS, Android and the web app. Category URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/plans-billing ### How much does DecorAI cost? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/plans-billing/decorai-pricing Answer: DecorAI is free to use with three AI designs per day. Pro is available as a subscription with USD reference prices of $9.99 weekly, $19.99 monthly and $39.99 yearly (a long-term special price), plus a one-time lifetime purchase. Mobile offers weekly, monthly, yearly and lifetime; the web app offers monthly, yearly and lifetime. The lifetime purchase is a one-time payment that includes all future updates and new premium features on both the web app and the mobile apps at no extra cost. | Plan | USD reference price | Available on | | --- | --- | --- | | Free | $0 — three designs per day | iOS, Android, Web | | Pro weekly | $9.99 | Mobile | | Pro monthly | $19.99 | Mobile and Web | | Pro yearly | $39.99 (long-term special price) | Mobile and Web | | Pro lifetime | One-time purchase — see the store | Mobile and Web | > Prices are shown in your local currency and can vary by country, platform and promotion. The purchase screen in the app or web app always shows the current offer for you — treat the figures above as USD reference points. There is no subscription free trial. A paid plan starts immediately after purchase, and the daily free plan remains available if you prefer not to subscribe. ### What does DecorAI Pro include? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/plans-billing/what-does-pro-include Plan: Pro Answer: Pro gives you unlimited generations with no daily limit, removes the rewarded video ads and the DecorAI watermark, adds priority generation speed, and unlocks AI Room Analysis and Design Reports with PDF export. A Pro purchase restores across devices and platforms on the same account. | | Free | Pro | | --- | --- | --- | | Generations | 3 per day, reset daily | Unlimited | | Rewarded video before each design | Yes | No | | Watermark on saved images | Yes | No | | Generation priority | Standard | Priority | | AI Room Analysis | — | Included | | Design Report + PDF export | — | Included | | Moodboards | 2 boards | Unlimited boards | | All design tools | Included | Included | The entitlement is called "Pro" in the app. If you subscribe on your phone and later sign in to app.decoraihome.com with the same account, Pro is active there too. ### Does Lifetime access include future features and updates? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/plans-billing/lifetime-access Plan: Pro Answer: Yes. DecorAI Lifetime is a one-time payment that grants permanent Pro access on both the web app and the iOS and Android apps, and it includes every future update, improvement and new premium feature added to Pro at no additional cost. Features released after your purchase date, such as the Inpainting Editor, are unlocked automatically, and DecorAI does not sell Pro features to Lifetime owners as separate paid add-ons. Lifetime is the one-time alternative to the weekly, monthly and yearly Pro plans. You pay once, and Pro stays active — there is no renewal, no expiry date and no second charge. | Question | Answer | | --- | --- | | Is it a subscription? | No — a single payment, never renewed | | Which platforms? | Web app, iPhone, iPad and Android, on the same account | | New premium features added later | Included automatically, at no extra cost | | Paid add-ons on top of Lifetime | None — Pro features are never resold to Lifetime owners | | Existing Pro features | All included: unlimited generations, no ads, no watermark, priority speed, AI Room Analysis, Design Report with PDF export | A concrete example: the Inpainting Editor shipped after many Lifetime purchases were made, and every Lifetime owner received it as part of Pro without paying again. The same applies to future tools we add to Pro. > Sign in to a DecorAI account before buying Lifetime. The entitlement is tied to the account, which is what lets you restore it on a new phone or on app.decoraihome.com later. Lifetime access applies for as long as DecorAI is offered as a service. Everything shipped inside DecorAI is covered; a genuinely separate product released one day under a different name would not automatically be part of DecorAI Pro. ### How do I subscribe to Pro? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/plans-billing/how-to-subscribe Answer: Open the upgrade screen in the DecorAI app or web app, choose weekly, monthly, yearly or lifetime, and complete the purchase. On iPhone and iPad it is billed by Apple, on Android by Google Play, and in the web app through the web checkout. 1. Open DecorAI and go to the upgrade or Pro screen. 2. Pick the plan. The prices shown are the real ones for your country. 3. Confirm with Face ID, Touch ID, your Google account or the web checkout. 4. Pro activates immediately — there is no trial period to wait through. > Sign in to a DecorAI account before purchasing. That is what lets the same Pro work on your other devices and on the web app. ### Who bills me — Apple, Google or DecorAI? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/plans-billing/where-am-i-billed Answer: It depends where you bought. Purchases made in the iPhone or iPad app are billed by Apple and appear on your Apple account; purchases in the Android app are billed by Google Play; purchases in the web app at app.decoraihome.com are billed through the web checkout. Cancellations and refunds are handled by whoever billed you. | Bought on | Billed by | Manage / cancel at | | --- | --- | --- | | iPhone or iPad | Apple | Settings → your name → Subscriptions | | Android | Google Play | Play Store → Payments & subscriptions | | app.decoraihome.com | DecorAI web checkout | Your account settings in the web app | > A subscription bought on one platform gives you Pro everywhere on the same account, but it is still managed where it was bought. You cannot cancel an Apple subscription from Google Play, or vice versa. ### How do I cancel my DecorAI subscription? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/plans-billing/cancel-subscription Answer: Cancel where you bought it: on iPhone or iPad in Settings → your name → Subscriptions, on Android in the Play Store under Payments & subscriptions, and for a web purchase in your account settings at app.decoraihome.com. You keep Pro until the end of the period you have already paid for. #### iPhone and iPad 1. Open Settings and tap your name at the top. 2. Tap Subscriptions. 3. Select DecorAI and tap Cancel Subscription. #### Android 1. Open the Google Play Store. 2. Tap your profile icon → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions. 3. Select DecorAI and tap Cancel subscription. #### Web app Open app.decoraihome.com, go to your account settings and manage the subscription there. > Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription. Cancel through the store first, or billing continues. ### What happens to my designs when Pro ends? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/plans-billing/after-cancelling Answer: Nothing is deleted. Your History, Projects, Moodboards and saved Design Reports stay in your account after Pro ends — you simply return to the free plan, with three designs a day, rewarded videos and the watermark on newly saved images. - Existing designs, reports and boards remain readable - New generations return to the daily free allowance - Newly saved images carry the watermark again - AI Room Analysis and new Design Reports need Pro again - Free users keep 2 Moodboards; extra boards created under Pro stay visible but new ones are limited ### How do I restore my Pro purchase on a new device? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/plans-billing/restore-purchase Answer: Sign in to the same DecorAI account, then use the "Restore purchases" option on the upgrade screen. Pro is tied to your account, so it follows you across iPhone, iPad, Android and the web app once you are signed in with the same credentials. 1. Install DecorAI on the new device, or open app.decoraihome.com. 2. Sign in with the same account you used when you subscribed (Google, Apple or email). 3. Open the upgrade screen and tap Restore purchases. 4. If Pro still does not appear, sign out and back in once, then restore again. > If you subscribed while signed out, the purchase is attached to the store account rather than a DecorAI account. Restore on the same Apple ID or Google account you paid with, then sign in to DecorAI so it links. Still stuck? Email decorai@rocketdigital.ai from the address on your account with the store receipt, and support can attach the entitlement manually. ### I paid but Pro is not active. What do I do? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/plans-billing/pro-not-active Answer: First sign in to the DecorAI account you want Pro on, then tap "Restore purchases" on the upgrade screen. If Pro is still missing, sign out and back in once, restart the app, and confirm the store account you paid with. If nothing works, email decorai@rocketdigital.ai with your receipt and the email on your DecorAI account. #### Checklist, in order 1. Are you signed in to DecorAI — not just to the phone? A signed-out session cannot receive the entitlement. 2. Is it the same account you used when you paid? A second account created later will not have Pro. 3. Tap Restore purchases on the upgrade screen. 4. Sign out, sign back in, and restore once more. 5. Check the store: Settings → Subscriptions on iOS, or Play Store → Subscriptions on Android. If the subscription is not there, the payment may not have completed. Support can verify a purchase from the store receipt and restore access manually. Include the receipt, the platform you bought on, and the email address on your DecorAI account. ### Can I get a refund? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/plans-billing/refunds Answer: Refunds are handled by whoever billed you. App Store and Google Play purchases follow Apple’s and Google’s own refund policies. For purchases made in the web app, DecorAI offers a full refund within 24 hours of purchase; after that, eligibility depends on usage. Full details are on the Refund Policy page. | Bought on | Where to request a refund | | --- | --- | | iPhone / iPad | reportaproblem.apple.com — Apple decides | | Android | Google Play refund request — Google decides | | Web app | Contact DecorAI: decorai@rocketdigital.ai | - Read the full Refund Policy: https://www.decoraihome.com/refund ### Why do my saved images have a DecorAI watermark, and how do I remove it? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/plans-billing/watermark Answer: Images saved on the free plan carry a small DecorAI watermark. Upgrading to Pro removes it — Pro saves the image clean. The watermark appears on the saved file, not on the design as you view it in the app. The watermark is what keeps a genuinely free, no-account plan viable alongside a paid one. It is the trade for three free designs a day with no card and no sign-up. > Images generated while you were on the free plan keep their watermark. Regenerate the design after upgrading to get a clean version. ### Can I use DecorAI designs for my business or for clients? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/plans-billing/commercial-use Answer: Yes — interior designers, estate agents, home stagers, architects and contractors use DecorAI for client concepts, listing photos and pitch material. You keep ownership of the photos you upload, and Pro removes the watermark so the output is presentable. The Terms of Service set out the exact usage terms. #### Practical guidance - Use Pro so client-facing images have no watermark - Label virtually staged property photos as digitally staged — many portals require it - Present AI images as concepts, not as a promise of the finished build - Only upload photos you own or are licensed to modify - Terms of Service: https://www.decoraihome.com/terms ### Is there a free trial of Pro? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/plans-billing/no-free-trial Answer: No. DecorAI does not offer a subscription free trial — a paid plan starts and is charged immediately after purchase. The free plan is the trial: three AI designs every day, with no account and no payment card required, for as long as you like. This is deliberate. Instead of a seven-day trial that quietly converts into a charge, DecorAI keeps a permanent free tier that covers most casual use. > If you only need Pro for one project — a house sale, a renovation, a client pitch — the weekly or monthly plan on mobile is the cheapest way to get it, and you can cancel as soon as the project is done. ## Account & settings Creating and using a DecorAI account: sign-in options, syncing designs across devices, changing language, managing notifications and deleting your account and data. Category URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/account ### How do I create an account or sign in to DecorAI? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/account/how-to-sign-in Answer: Open the account or profile screen in the DecorAI app or web app and sign in with Google, with Apple, or with an email address and password. Creating an account is free, takes under a minute, and does not change your daily free allowance. #### Why sign in at all - Your History, Projects and Moodboards are stored in your account instead of only on the device - Pro restores automatically on a new phone, tablet or in the browser - You can publish to the Community - Nothing is lost if you reinstall the app > Use the same sign-in method everywhere. Signing in with Google on your phone and with email on the web creates two separate accounts, and Pro will only be on one of them. ### How do I sync my designs between my phone and the web app? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/account/sync-between-devices Answer: Sign in with the same account on every device. DecorAI then stores your designs, Projects, Moodboards and saved Design Reports in your account, so anything created on your phone appears in the web app at app.decoraihome.com and vice versa. 1. Sign in on the device where your work already is, and let it upload. 2. Sign in with the same method on the second device. 3. Open History — the designs appear. > Work created while signed out cannot be synced retroactively in every case. Sign in first if you want your designs on more than one device. ### I cannot sign in to my account. What should I check? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/account/cant-sign-in Answer: Confirm you are using the same sign-in method you originally registered with — Google, Apple or email are three separate identities even with the same address. Then check your internet connection, update to the latest app version, and use the password reset if you signed up by email. 1. Which button did you originally use — Google, Apple, or email? Use that one. 2. If it was email, use the password reset link on the sign-in screen. 3. If you used Sign in with Apple and hid your email, sign in with Apple again rather than by email. 4. Update DecorAI to the latest version from the App Store or Play Store. 5. Try the web app at app.decoraihome.com to check whether the problem is the account or the device. If none of that works, email decorai@rocketdigital.ai with the address you registered with and describe which sign-in button you used. ### How do I change the language of the app? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/account/change-app-language Answer: DecorAI follows your device language automatically across 32 languages and 37 locale variants. To change it, change the language of your phone or of the app in your system settings; in the web app, the interface follows your browser language. - iOS: Settings → DecorAI → Language - Android: system language settings, or the per-app language setting on recent versions - Web: your browser language preference AI-written output — Room Analysis, Design Reports, chat replies — is returned in your language too. You can also type free-text design instructions in your own language. ### How do I manage DecorAI notifications? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/account/notifications Answer: DecorAI notifications are controlled in your device settings: iOS under Settings → Notifications → DecorAI, and Android under Settings → Apps → DecorAI → Notifications. Turning them off does not affect your designs or your subscription. Notifications are used for things like a design finishing, a reminder that your free designs have reset, and occasional offers. They are never required for the app to work. > Pro subscribers do not receive promotional notifications. ### How do I delete my DecorAI account and all my data? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/account/delete-my-account Answer: You can request full account deletion from the app settings, or by emailing decorai@rocketdigital.ai from the address on your account. Deletion removes your account together with your uploaded photos, generated designs, Projects and Moodboards, and cannot be undone. 1. Save anything you want to keep to your device first — deletion is permanent. 2. Cancel any active subscription in the App Store, Play Store or web account. Deleting the account does not cancel billing. 3. Request deletion in app settings, or email decorai@rocketdigital.ai from your account address. > Deleting the app from your phone is not the same as deleting your account. Uninstalling leaves the account and any subscription intact. - Privacy Policy: https://www.decoraihome.com/privacy ### Does DecorAI have a dark mode? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/account/dark-mode Answer: Yes. DecorAI supports light and dark themes on mobile and on the web app, and follows your device or browser appearance setting by default. The theme affects the interface only. Generated designs are unaffected — a room generated in dark mode looks exactly the same as one generated in light mode. ### How do I make sure I have the latest version of DecorAI? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/account/update-the-app Answer: Update DecorAI from the App Store or Google Play like any other app. The web app at app.decoraihome.com always runs the latest version — reload the page if something looks out of date. - iOS: App Store → your profile → find DecorAI → Update - Android: Play Store → your profile → Manage apps → Update - Web: refresh the page; a hard reload clears a stale cached version > Most "the app is behaving strangely" reports are fixed by updating. New features and fixes ship regularly. ## Using the web app How to use DecorAI in a desktop or mobile browser: what the web app includes, how it differs from the mobile apps, browser requirements and uploading from a computer. Category URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/web-app ### Can I use DecorAI without downloading an app? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/web-app/using-decorai-in-a-browser Platforms: Web Answer: Yes. DecorAI runs in any modern browser at app.decoraihome.com, with the same design tools, the same free plan of three designs a day and the same Pro entitlement. Nothing needs to be installed, and signing in keeps your designs in sync with the mobile apps. 1. Go to app.decoraihome.com. 2. Upload a room photo from your computer or phone. 3. Choose a room type and a style, then generate. 4. Sign in if you want the result on your other devices. The web app is the easiest way to work from listing photos or from a client’s photos already on your computer, because you skip the step of moving them to a phone. ### What is the difference between the DecorAI web app and the mobile apps? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/web-app/web-vs-mobile Answer: The web app and the mobile apps share the same design tools, account, Pro entitlement and cloud History. The differences are platform features: Live Activities, home-screen widgets, Siri shortcuts and the system share sheet exist only on iPhone and Android, while the web app offers a larger working canvas and easier access to files on a computer. | | Mobile apps | Web app | | --- | --- | --- | | Design tools | All | All | | Free plan and Pro | Same | Same | | History, Projects, Moodboards | Synced | Synced | | Camera capture | Yes | Depends on the browser | | Live Activities and widgets | Yes (iOS/Android) | No | | System share sheet entries | Yes | No | | Large-screen working canvas | Limited | Yes | | Plans available | Weekly, monthly, yearly, lifetime | Monthly, yearly, lifetime | > A common professional workflow is to photograph on the phone and finish on a laptop — same account, work appears in both. ### Which browsers does the DecorAI web app support? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/web-app/browser-requirements Answer: The DecorAI web app works in current versions of Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox and other modern browsers, on desktop and on mobile. Keep the browser updated, and allow the site to run normally — aggressive tracking-blockers or a very old browser version can prevent uploads and sign-in from working. - Use an up-to-date browser version - Allow cookies for the site so sign-in persists - If a page looks stale after an update, do a hard reload - Private/incognito windows work, but you will be signed out each time ### How do I upload photos from my computer? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/web-app/upload-from-computer Answer: In the DecorAI web app, click the upload area and pick the image file from your computer, or drag it onto the page. JPG, PNG, HEIC and WEBP files all work, and you can crop the photo before generating. - Use the original photo rather than a screenshot where you can - Files straight from a camera or phone are ideal - Very large files simply take a little longer to upload > If your photos are on your phone but you want to work on a computer, sign in on both — or use the phone’s share sheet to send the photo straight into DecorAI. ### Do I need an account to use the web app? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/web-app/web-account-needed Answer: You can try the DecorAI web app without signing in, but an account is what keeps your designs, Moodboards and Pro subscription available across sessions and devices. Because a browser can be cleared at any time, signing in is more important on the web than on a phone. > Clearing your browser data, switching browsers or using a private window while signed out will lose work that was never attached to an account. ### Where are Moodboards in the web app? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/web-app/moodboards-on-web Answer: In the DecorAI web app, Moodboards are in the Library section of the left menu, and there is also a Moodboards card on the dashboard. Boards created on a phone appear there automatically when you are signed in with the same account. Everything works the same as on mobile: upload images into a board, read the measured colour palette, keep notes, and redesign a room photo from the board. ## iPhone & Android features Mobile-only DecorAI features: iPhone Live Activities and Dynamic Island progress, home-screen widgets, Siri App Shortcuts, sharing photos into DecorAI from other apps, and decorai:// deep links. Category URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/mobile ### What are DecorAI widgets and Live Activities? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/mobile/widgets-and-live-activities Platforms: iOS, Android Answer: On iPhone, a DecorAI Live Activity shows the progress of a running generation on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so you can leave the app while it works. Both iOS and Android also offer home-screen widgets showing your latest designs and quick-start shortcuts into the design tools. #### Adding a widget 1. iPhone: long-press the home screen, tap +, search for DecorAI and pick a widget size. 2. Android: long-press the home screen, choose Widgets, find DecorAI and drag it into place. Widgets show your most recent designs and shortcut buttons that open a specific tool directly — useful if you always start in the same place. > Live Activities require a supported iPhone and Live Activities enabled in iOS Settings → DecorAI. ### How do I send a photo into DecorAI from another app? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/mobile/share-sheet Platforms: iOS, Android Answer: Use your phone’s share menu. DecorAI adds four entries — "Redesign with DecorAI", "Transfer Style with DecorAI", "Add furniture with DecorAI" and "Add to DecorAI Moodboard" — so you can send a photo from Photos, Pinterest, Instagram, a browser or a marketplace app straight into the right tool. | Share entry | What it opens | | --- | --- | | Redesign with DecorAI | AI Interior Designer, with the photo already uploaded | | Transfer Style with DecorAI | Style Transfer, using the shared image as the reference | | Add furniture with DecorAI | Furniture Import, using the shared image as the furniture | | Add to DecorAI Moodboard | A board picker, so the image is saved as inspiration | The Moodboard entry also accepts shared links, including Pinterest pin URLs, which are resolved to the underlying image automatically. > If you do not see DecorAI in the share sheet, scroll to the end of the list and use "More" or "Edit actions" to enable it. ### Can I start DecorAI with Siri? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/mobile/siri-shortcuts Platforms: iOS Answer: Yes. DecorAI provides Siri App Shortcuts on iPhone and iPad, so you can open the app or jump straight into a design tool by voice or from the Shortcuts app. App Shortcuts appear automatically in the Shortcuts app once DecorAI is installed. You can also add them to your home screen or trigger them from a Focus automation. ### Which decorai:// deep links can I use? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/mobile/deep-links Platforms: iOS, Android Answer: DecorAI accepts decorai://create/ links to open a specific tool — interior, garden, exterior, floor, corner, analysis, empty, staging, furniture and moodboard — plus decorai://projects and decorai://history. Query parameters and trailing slashes are ignored, so campaign parameters can be appended safely. | Deep link | Opens | | --- | --- | | decorai://create/interior | AI Interior Designer | | decorai://create/exterior | AI Exterior Design | | decorai://create/garden | AI Garden Design | | decorai://create/floor | AI Floor Planner | | decorai://create/corner | AI Corner Designer | | decorai://create/analysis | AI Room Analysis | | decorai://create/empty | Empty the Room | | decorai://create/staging | Virtual Staging | | decorai://create/furniture | Furniture Import | | decorai://create/moodboard | Moodboards | | decorai://projects | Projects | | decorai://history | History | These are used by the home-screen widgets, Siri shortcuts and App Store In-App Events, and they work in your own shortcuts and automations too. ### Which permissions does DecorAI ask for, and why? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/mobile/permissions Platforms: iOS, Android Answer: DecorAI asks for camera access to photograph a room, photo library access to pick or save images, and notification permission for generation and reminder alerts. Every one of them is optional — you can decline and still use the app, though the related feature will not work. | Permission | Used for | If denied | | --- | --- | --- | | Camera | Taking a photo of the space | Upload from the gallery instead | | Photos / storage | Choosing a photo and saving results | You cannot pick or save images | | Notifications | Generation finished, free designs reset | No notifications; nothing else changes | Permissions can be changed later in iOS Settings → DecorAI, or Android Settings → Apps → DecorAI → Permissions. ### Does DecorAI work on iPad and Android tablets? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/mobile/ipad-and-tablets Platforms: iOS, Android, Web Answer: Yes. DecorAI runs on iPad and on Android tablets with the same features as the phone apps, and the larger screen is genuinely better for comparing versions and for masking in the Inpainting editor. The web app is also a good option on a tablet. Signing in with the same account means a design started on your phone can be finished on a tablet, which is a common way to present options to a client. ### Can I use DecorAI offline? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/mobile/offline-use Answer: No. Generating a design requires an internet connection because the AI models run on DecorAI’s servers, not on your phone. Browsing designs you already saved to your device works offline, but new generations, History sync and Moodboard sync all need a connection. One part does run on your device: colour palette extraction for Moodboards and Design Reports reads the actual pixels locally, which is why it is instant. > On a weak connection, upload time dominates the wait. Wi-Fi makes generations feel noticeably faster even though the AI takes the same time. ## Who uses DecorAI, and how Recommended DecorAI workflows for homeowners, renters, interior designers, estate agents, home stagers, renovation professionals and DIY renovators. Category URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/use-cases ### How should a homeowner use DecorAI? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/use-cases/homeowners Answer: Homeowners get the most from DecorAI by testing decisions before spending money: photograph the room, generate two or three style directions, run the Floor Planner to compare flooring, and finish with a Design Report (Pro) that lists what to change, in what order, and roughly what it costs. #### A weekend workflow 1. Photograph each room you want to change, from the doorway, lights on. 2. Run AI Room Analysis (Pro) to see what a designer would criticise. 3. Generate three styles for the main room and pick a direction with the household. 4. Test flooring and paint separately — Floor Planner for the floor, colour schemes for the walls. 5. Generate a Design Report on the winner and use the action plan as your to-do list. > Keep one style across the whole home. Generating each room separately in the same style is what makes the finished house feel coherent. ### How can renters use DecorAI without renovating? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/use-cases/renters Answer: Renters should lock the architecture and change only what they can take with them. Turn on Keep Room Details and Keep Exact Photo Angle, add controls like Area Rugs, Plants and Greenery, Mirrors and Add Ambient Lighting, and state in free text that no structural or built-in changes are allowed. - Free-text: "no structural changes, keep the existing flooring and wall colour, furniture and textiles only" - Use the Corner Designer for awkward spots rather than restyling the whole flat - Use Furniture Import to check a second-hand find before you collect it - Use Empty the Room to see the flat unfurnished, then Virtual Staging to plan what to buy ### How do interior designers use DecorAI professionally? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/use-cases/interior-designers Answer: Designers use DecorAI for the early, unpaid part of a project: generating several concept directions from a client’s photos in minutes, agreeing a direction before detailed work starts, and producing a Design Report as a leave-behind. Pro removes the watermark so the output is presentable to clients. #### Where it saves the most time - Pitch stage: three directions from one photo, in the meeting itself - Narrowing taste: a Moodboard built from the client’s own saved images, then applied to their real room - Communicating a change: Inpainting to show one alternative sofa rather than re-rendering the scheme - Leave-behind: a Design Report PDF with palette, recommendations and an action plan > Present AI images as concepts. They are not specifications, and a client should never be told a generated image is what will be built. ### How do estate agents and home stagers use DecorAI? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/use-cases/real-estate-agents Answer: Agents use Empty the Room to clear a cluttered property and Virtual Staging to furnish empty rooms in a style that suits the target buyer, working directly from listing photos. Staged images must be disclosed as digitally staged in the listing. #### Listing workflow 1. Start from the professional listing photos — they are level, wide and well lit. 2. Empty the Room on any cluttered space. 3. Virtual Staging in a neutral, broadly appealing style (Modern, Scandinavian or Coastal usually outperform bold choices). 4. Keep the framing identical to the real photo so buyers can match rooms. 5. Label every staged image as digitally staged. > Disclosure rules for virtually staged photos vary by market and portal. Check the rules that apply where you list before publishing. ### Can I plan a real renovation with DecorAI? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/use-cases/renovation-planning Answer: Yes, as the first stage. DecorAI is excellent for deciding what you want and explaining it to a builder — a photo-accurate visual, a named colour palette and a prioritised action plan. It is not a substitute for measured drawings, structural advice or a builder’s quotation. #### What to hand to a contractor - The before-and-after image, so the intent is unambiguous - The Design Report PDF, especially the palette page with hex values - The per-category cost breakdown, as a starting point for the quote conversation - A clear statement that the image is a concept, not a specification > Anything structural — removing walls, moving windows, changing a roofline — must be assessed by a qualified professional. A generated image is not evidence that a change is possible or permitted. ### How do short-term rental hosts use DecorAI? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/use-cases/short-term-rental-hosts Answer: Hosts use DecorAI to test refreshes that photograph well: restyling a tired living room, staging an underfurnished bedroom, or improving a dead corner into a workspace. Because listing photos drive bookings, seeing the change before buying anything is the point. - Photograph each room exactly as a guest would first see it - Generate a durable, neutral style rather than a fashionable one - Use the Corner Designer to add a work-from-anywhere desk nook, which guests search for - Use the Design Report cost tiers to decide what is worth doing this season ### How do I use DecorAI on a small budget? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/use-cases/diy-and-budget Answer: Use the Budget-Friendly control, keep the room details and the photo angle so you are only changing decor, and lean on the Design Report’s budget tier and quick-win action items. The biggest visual gains for the least money are usually lighting, textiles, paint and decluttering. #### Cheap changes that photograph well 1. Lighting: warm bulbs, a floor lamp, no bare ceiling light. 2. Textiles: curtains to the floor, one large rug rather than a small one. 3. Paint: one wall, or the whole room in a single warmer tone. 4. Plants and mirrors: cheap, and both make a small room read larger. 5. Declutter: free, and it changes the photo more than anything on this list. Generate a "budget" version and a "premium" version of the same room. Seeing them side by side makes it obvious which upgrades are actually worth paying for. ## Comparisons & alternatives How DecorAI compares with hiring an interior designer, with 3D rendering software, with general-purpose AI image generators and with mood-boarding — plus how to confirm you have the official DecorAI app. Category URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/comparisons ### Can AI replace an interior designer? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/comparisons/ai-vs-interior-designer Answer: No — AI replaces the first stage of the work, not the designer. DecorAI is faster and cheaper than a designer at generating and comparing visual directions, but it cannot measure your room, source and schedule products, manage trades, or take responsibility for decisions about structure, safety and building regulations. | | DecorAI | Interior designer | | --- | --- | --- | | Visual directions | Minutes, unlimited on Pro | Days to weeks | | Cost of exploring options | Free to a few pounds a month | Hundreds to thousands | | Measured drawings and specs | No | Yes | | Product sourcing and ordering | No | Yes | | Trades, scheduling, site visits | No | Yes | | Structural and regulatory judgement | No | Yes, or refers you on | | Accountability for the result | No | Yes | The productive pattern is to use both. Arrive at a designer with three generated directions and a Design Report and you skip the slowest, most expensive part of the process — working out what you actually want. Many designers now use DecorAI themselves for exactly that stage. - A 30-day test of the question: https://www.decoraihome.com/blog/can-ai-replace-interior-designer-30-day-test ### How much does DecorAI cost compared with hiring a designer? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/comparisons/cost-comparison Answer: DecorAI is free for three designs a day, and Pro starts from a USD reference price of $39.99 per year. Professional interior design is typically charged per room, per hour or as a percentage of the project budget, which in most markets puts a single room in the hundreds to low thousands — two different orders of magnitude, for two different deliverables. The comparison is only fair if you are clear about what each buys. DecorAI buys visualisation and decision-making. A designer buys drawings, sourcing, project management and accountability. #### Where AI saves the most money - Avoiding a purchase you would have regretted — a sofa in the wrong colour costs more than a year of Pro - Reaching agreement in a household before anyone spends anything - Briefing a contractor precisely, so quotes come back comparable - Deciding whether a project is worth doing at all > Design Report cost estimates (Pro) are planning-grade ranges in your own currency, not quotations. Always get real quotes before committing. ### How is AI interior design different from 3D rendering or CAD software? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/comparisons/ai-vs-3d-rendering Answer: CAD and 3D rendering software build a measured model of a room and then render it, which takes hours or days and real skill but produces dimensionally accurate output. DecorAI works from a photograph and produces a photorealistic image in seconds — no model, no measurements, no learning curve, and no dimensional accuracy. | | DecorAI | 3D / CAD software | | --- | --- | --- | | Input | One photo | A modelled room with dimensions | | Time to first image | Seconds | Hours to days | | Skill needed | None | Significant | | Dimensional accuracy | None — visual only | Exact | | Can it prove furniture fits? | No | Yes | | Cost | Free / low subscription | Software plus time or a professional | | Best for | Deciding what you want | Documenting what will be built | They sit at opposite ends of the same process. Use DecorAI to settle the direction quickly; use CAD, or the professional who owns it, when something has to be built to a millimetre. ### Why not just use a general AI image generator for interior design? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/comparisons/vs-general-ai-image-generators Answer: A general image generator will happily invent a beautiful room — but usually not your room. DecorAI is built around preserving the real space in your photo: walls, windows, ceiling height, perspective and camera angle stay put, and the tools are shaped around actual renovation decisions like flooring, staging and single-object edits. #### What a purpose-built tool adds - It keeps your room recognisable, so the image is a decision aid rather than a fantasy - Presets that map to real choices: room type, style, colour scheme, 30+ controls - Tools for the jobs generic models are bad at — flooring only, emptying a room, staging, masked local edits - Structured output: a scored Room Analysis and a Design Report with palette, costs and an action plan - Results saved, organised into Projects, and synced across your devices > A good test: generate the same room in both. If the window has moved or the room has changed shape, the image cannot help you make a real decision about that room. ### How is DecorAI different from Pinterest or a mood board? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/comparisons/vs-pinterest Answer: Pinterest shows you other people’s rooms; DecorAI shows you yours. The two work well together — you can import a pin straight into DecorAI, save it to a Moodboard, and then redesign your own room in that exact look, using the colours measured from the images you collected. #### The gap Pinterest leaves Saved pins tell you what you like but not whether it works in a 3.2 m wide north-facing room with a radiator under the window. That translation step is what DecorAI does. #### Pinterest to finished visual, in four steps 1. Share the pin into DecorAI with "Add to DecorAI Moodboard". 2. Collect up to 10 references on one board. 3. Read the board’s measured colour palette. 4. Redesign a photo of your real room from the board. - DecorAI vs ChatGPT, Gemini and Pinterest on real rooms: https://www.decoraihome.com/blog/decorai-vs-chatgpt-gemini-pinterest-real-rooms ### What is the catch with free AI interior design apps? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/comparisons/free-vs-paid Answer: Free tiers are usually limited by generation count, by watermarks, by ads, or by holding back the features that make output usable. DecorAI is explicit about it: three designs a day, one short rewarded video per design, a small watermark on saved images, and Room Analysis and Design Reports reserved for Pro. Everything else is included free. #### What to check in any free AI design tool 1. How many generations per day, and does the counter reset? 2. Does it require an account or a card before you can try it? 3. Is there a watermark, and how large? 4. Are the useful tools free, or only the basic one? 5. Is there a trial that converts into a charge automatically? On the last point: DecorAI has no subscription free trial at all. A paid plan starts immediately when you buy it, and the free plan simply continues until you do — nothing converts behind your back. - Best free AI interior design apps compared: https://www.decoraihome.com/blog/best-free-ai-interior-design-app-2026 ### How do I judge whether an AI interior design app is any good? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/comparisons/how-to-evaluate-ai-design-apps Answer: Test every app on the same photo of your own room and check one thing first: does the result still look like that room? Then compare speed, whether it can change one element without redoing everything, whether it produces anything actionable beyond an image, and what the free tier really allows. #### A fair test 1. Use one photo, taken properly, in every app. 2. Ask for the same style and the same instruction. 3. Drag the before-and-after: did windows, doors and proportions survive? 4. Ask for one small change — a different sofa only — and see whether the rest of the room stays put. 5. Check what you can do with the output: save it, export it, price it, hand it to a builder. #### Questions worth asking - Does it work on the platforms you use, and does work sync between them? - Does it keep a history, or is every result disposable? - Can you cancel easily and get your data out? - Is it honest about what the images are — concepts, not construction documents? - 9 AI interior design apps tested: https://www.decoraihome.com/blog/best-ai-interior-design-app-2026 ### How close is an AI design to what the finished room will actually look like? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/comparisons/how-accurate-vs-real-result Answer: Close on style, palette, light and general feel; unreliable on exact products, dimensions and anything hidden from the camera. Treat a DecorAI image as an accurate answer to "what direction is this?" and an unreliable answer to "will this exact sofa fit against that wall?" | Aspect | How closely it matches reality | | --- | --- | | Overall style and mood | High | | Colour palette | High — a Design Report gives you the hex values | | Room shape and perspective | High, when the input photo is good | | Lighting feel | Good | | Specific products | Low — the AI invents plausible furniture | | Dimensions and fit | None — measure it yourself | | Areas behind large objects | Reconstructed plausibly, not accurately | The practical response is to use the image for the decision and real measurements for the purchase. Take the palette and the direction from the render; take the sofa dimensions from the retailer and a tape measure. ### How do I know I have the official DecorAI app? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/comparisons/which-decorai-is-this Answer: The official DecorAI AI Interior Design app for Web, iOS and Android lives at decoraihome.com and app.decoraihome.com, was created and first released in 2024, and is operated by Rocket Digital Limited. On mobile, look for Apple App Store ID 6471409676 or the Google Play package com.rocketdigitals.aiinteriordesign. #### Official identifiers | | Official DecorAI | | --- | --- | | Website | www.decoraihome.com | | Web app | app.decoraihome.com | | Apple App Store ID | 6471409676 | | Google Play package | com.rocketdigitals.aiinteriordesign | | Operator | Rocket Digital Limited | | First released | 2024 | | Support email | decorai@rocketdigital.ai | | Official X profile | @decoraiapp | > If a review, article or listing only says "DecorAI" without naming a website or an app-store identifier, check it against the table above before relying on it. - Press and brand facts: https://www.decoraihome.com/press - Official app feature directory: https://www.decoraihome.com/decorai-app ## Privacy, safety & content rules How DecorAI handles uploaded photos, which images and prompts are rejected by the automated safety checks, who owns generated designs, and how to report content. Category URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/safety ### What happens to the photos I upload? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/safety/privacy-of-my-photos Answer: Photos you upload to DecorAI are processed to generate your design and are stored in your own account, visible only to you. Nothing is published unless you choose to share it to the Community, and you keep ownership of your original photos. - Uploads are used to generate the design you asked for - Your History is private to your account - Publishing to the Community is opt-in, per design - You can delete individual designs, or your whole account and its data - Full Privacy Policy: https://www.decoraihome.com/privacy > If a room contains something you would rather not upload — documents, screens, personal photos on the wall — crop it out before generating. ### What content is not allowed in DecorAI? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/safety/content-rules Answer: DecorAI is built for rooms, buildings and outdoor spaces. Automated safety checks run on every upload and every written instruction, and they reject sexual, explicit or violent content, and photos whose subject is a person. People incidentally present in a space — or shown in framed photos, posters, artwork or on a screen — are normally fine. #### Three checks run on a generation 1. The uploaded image is checked before generation. 2. Your written instruction is checked for prohibited intent. 3. The generated result is checked before it is shown to you. If any check refuses, DecorAI tells you the image or the request was not allowed rather than generating something unusable. Retake the photo of the space itself, or rephrase the instruction so it describes the room rather than people. > Safety checks are tuned to be permissive about ordinary homes. A family photo on the wall, a portrait above the sofa or a face on the television should not block a generation. ### Who owns the designs DecorAI generates? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/safety/who-owns-my-designs Answer: You keep ownership of the original photos you upload, and the designs you generate are yours to use, including for client work when you are on Pro (which removes the watermark). The exact terms are set out in the DecorAI Terms of Service. - Upload only photos you own or have permission to modify - A design generated from an inspiration image is a new image, not a copy of the original - Label virtually staged property photos as digitally staged - AI images are concepts — do not present them as photographs of a finished build - Terms of Service: https://www.decoraihome.com/terms ### How do I report inappropriate content in the Community? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/safety/report-content Answer: Use the report action on the post itself in the DecorAI Community. Reports are reviewed, and you can also delete any of your own posts at any time. For anything urgent, email decorai@rocketdigital.ai. - Report from the post in the Community feed - Delete your own posts from the same menu - Contact support for anything that needs a faster response ### What are the limits of what DecorAI can tell me? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/safety/ai-limitations Answer: DecorAI produces visual concepts, not construction documents. Its images are not measured floor plans, engineering drawings, building approvals or exact bills of materials, and its cost estimates are planning-grade. Structural, electrical, plumbing, safety, accessibility and building-code decisions must be checked with qualified local professionals. #### What AI images are good for - Deciding what you like before you spend money - Explaining an idea to a partner, a contractor or a client - Comparing directions quickly and cheaply - Marketing and listing material, when disclosed as digitally staged #### What they are not - A guarantee of what the finished room will look like - A measurement of whether furniture fits - Evidence that a wall can be removed or a window enlarged - A quotation you can hold a builder to ### Is DecorAI suitable for children? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/safety/children-and-age Answer: DecorAI is a general-audience design tool intended for adults planning and decorating real spaces, and app-store age ratings apply as shown on each store listing. Purchases are made through the App Store, Google Play or the web checkout, so normal parental purchase controls apply. If you share a device with children, enable purchase confirmation in the App Store or Google Play so a subscription cannot be bought accidentally. ## Troubleshooting Fixes for the most common DecorAI problems: distorted results, failed or slow generations, blocked images, upload errors, missing designs, ads that will not load and app crashes. Category URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/troubleshooting ### My generated design looks distorted or warped. How do I fix it? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/troubleshooting/result-looks-distorted Answer: Distorted results almost always come from the input photo. Retake it with the camera held level, from a doorway or corner, without the ultra-wide lens, and with the lights on — then regenerate with Keep Exact Photo Angle and Keep Room Details enabled. #### Causes, in order of frequency | Cause | Fix | | --- | --- | | Ultra-wide (0.5x) lens bending the walls | Shoot at 1x | | Camera tilted up or down | Hold it level at chest height | | Only one wall visible, no floor | Step back and include the floor line | | Dark or blurry photo | Turn on the lights, hold still, check focus | | Very cluttered room | Tidy, or run Empty the Room first | > If a single element is wrong but the rest is good, fix it with the Inpainting editor instead of regenerating the whole image. ### The design is not what I asked for. What should I change? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/troubleshooting/result-not-what-i-expected Answer: Change one thing at a time and be more concrete. Name the materials and colours you want in the free-text field, reduce the number of design controls to two or three, and make sure the style and the instructions are not pulling in opposite directions. #### Common conflicts - A minimalist style plus "add a gallery wall, plants, patterned rug and shelving" — pick one direction - Keep Room Details plus Open Floor Plan — one says preserve, the other says restructure - Ten controls at once — the AI averages them into something bland - A very long paragraph of instructions — the key request gets lost Also remember that every generation is a fresh interpretation. Pressing Regenerate with identical settings is a legitimate fix — the second attempt is often the one you wanted. ### My generation is taking a long time. Is something wrong? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/troubleshooting/generation-takes-too-long Answer: Most DecorAI designs finish in under 10 seconds, but during peak demand a generation can take 20 to 60 seconds, and a slow connection adds upload time on top. Keep the app open, or watch the Live Activity on iPhone. If nothing happens after a couple of minutes, close and reopen the app and try again. 1. Check your connection — Wi-Fi if possible; the upload is part of the wait. 2. Wait the full minute before assuming it failed. 3. If it is still spinning, close the app fully and reopen it. Finished designs appear in History. 4. Try a smaller or cropped photo if it happens repeatedly. > While a generation is running, avoid navigating away through a widget or notification link. Let it finish, or use the Live Activity to keep an eye on progress. ### My generation failed with an error. What now? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/troubleshooting/generation-failed Answer: Try once more — most failures are transient and DecorAI automatically reroutes to another AI provider on the next attempt. If it keeps failing, check your connection, update the app, use a smaller photo, and make sure your instruction describes a space rather than people. | Message you see | What it usually means | | --- | --- | | Timeout / took too long | Peak demand or a slow connection — retry | | Rate limit reached | Too many requests in a short window — wait a few minutes | | Image not allowed | The photo failed the safety check — see the article below | | Network error | The connection dropped mid-request — retry on Wi-Fi | | Not signed in | Sign in again, then retry | | Generic error | Retry once; if it persists, contact support | > A failed generation does not consume one of your three daily free designs. ### Why was my image or request blocked? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/troubleshooting/image-not-allowed Answer: DecorAI runs automated safety checks on the uploaded photo, the written instruction and the generated result. A block usually means the photo’s subject is a person, the image is not a room or space, or the instruction asked for content outside what DecorAI generates. Retake the photo of the space itself and describe the room rather than people. #### What to try 1. Photograph the empty space rather than someone standing in it. 2. Make sure the frame reads as a room — include floor, walls and some ceiling. 3. Remove wording about people from your instruction and describe the space instead. 4. If the photo is very dark or ambiguous, retake it with the lights on. Incidental people and depicted people — a family photo on the wall, a portrait, a face on the television, a reflection — are normally allowed. If one of those does trigger a block, crop it out and try again. ### My photo will not upload. What should I do? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/troubleshooting/upload-fails Answer: Switch to Wi-Fi, crop or resize the photo, and confirm DecorAI has permission to access your photo library. Uploads that fail repeatedly are usually a weak mobile connection or a very large file rather than a problem with the image itself. 1. Switch from mobile data to Wi-Fi. 2. Crop the photo inside the app — a smaller file uploads faster and more reliably. 3. Check permissions: iOS Settings → DecorAI → Photos; Android Settings → Apps → DecorAI → Permissions. 4. Close and reopen the app. 5. Try the web app at app.decoraihome.com to isolate whether it is the device. ### I have used my three free designs. What are my options? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/troubleshooting/no-generations-left Answer: Your free allowance resets the next day. Until then you can keep browsing History and the Community, build Moodboards, chat with the AI assistants and plan Projects — none of which consume a generation — or upgrade to Pro for unlimited designs with no ads. - The counter resets daily; unused designs do not carry over - Failed generations do not count against the allowance - Pro removes the limit and the rewarded videos entirely ### The rewarded video will not load or finish. How do I get my free design? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/troubleshooting/ad-not-loading Answer: Rewarded videos need a working internet connection and are served by an ad network, so they occasionally fail. Check your connection, close and reopen DecorAI, and try again in a minute. If videos consistently fail to load, Pro removes them altogether. 1. Confirm you are online — ideally on Wi-Fi. 2. Close DecorAI completely and reopen it. 3. Wait a minute and retry; ad availability varies by country and time of day. 4. Disable any VPN or ad-blocking DNS while using the free plan. 5. Update to the latest app version. > If a video plays but the design does not unlock, reopen the app: the reward is recorded server-side and the generation usually proceeds on the next attempt. ### My designs have disappeared from History. Where are they? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/troubleshooting/designs-missing Answer: Check that you are signed in to the same DecorAI account you used when you created them. History created while signed out lives only on that device, so reinstalling the app or switching phones loses it — while History created while signed in is restored automatically once you sign back in. 1. Open your account screen and check which account you are signed in to. 2. If you used Google on one device and email on another, those are two accounts — sign in with the original one. 3. Give History a moment to sync after signing in. 4. Check the web app at app.decoraihome.com with the same account. > Deleted designs cannot be recovered. Save anything important to your device as well. ### I cannot save a design to my phone. What is wrong? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/troubleshooting/cannot-save-image Answer: Saving needs permission to write to your photo library. Grant it in iOS Settings → DecorAI → Photos, or Android Settings → Apps → DecorAI → Permissions, then try again. Also check that your device has free storage space. - Grant photo library access, then reopen the app - Free up storage if the device is nearly full - On the web app, check your browser is not blocking downloads ### Why do I keep getting network or connection errors? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/troubleshooting/network-errors Answer: DecorAI needs an internet connection for every generation. Switch to Wi-Fi, turn any VPN off, and retry. Corporate, school and hotel networks sometimes block the services DecorAI uses, in which case mobile data is the quickest test. 1. Toggle Wi-Fi off and on, or switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. 2. Disable VPNs and custom DNS or ad-blocking profiles. 3. Try another network — a phone hotspot is a good test. 4. Retry: DecorAI reroutes across providers, so a second attempt often succeeds. ### Why does the app crash, freeze or behave strangely? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/troubleshooting/app-crashes Answer: Update DecorAI to the latest version first — most odd behaviour is already fixed. Then restart the app, restart the device, and make sure there is free storage. If it still crashes, reinstall the app; your designs are safe as long as you are signed in. 1. Update from the App Store or Google Play. 2. Force-close DecorAI and reopen it. 3. Restart the phone. 4. Free up storage space. 5. Reinstall — but sign in first, so History is in your account before you delete the app. > Never reinstall while signed out if you have designs you want to keep. Sign in and let History upload first. ### Why will the web app not load or sign me in? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/troubleshooting/web-app-problems Answer: Reload app.decoraihome.com with a hard refresh, allow cookies for the site, update your browser, and disable strict tracking protection or extensions that block scripts. If it still fails, try a different browser or a private window to isolate the cause. 1. Hard reload the page (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + R). 2. Allow cookies and site data for app.decoraihome.com. 3. Disable ad-blockers and privacy extensions for the site. 4. Update the browser to a current version. 5. Test in another browser to confirm whether the problem is the browser or the account. ### How do I contact DecorAI support? URL: https://www.decoraihome.com/help/troubleshooting/contact-support Answer: Email decorai@rocketdigital.ai. Include the platform you are using (iPhone, Android or web), the app version, the email address on your DecorAI account, what you were doing, and a screenshot of any error message — that information is usually enough to resolve a case in one reply. #### What to include - Platform and app version - The email address on your DecorAI account - For billing issues: the store you bought on and the receipt - A screenshot of the error - What you had already tried - Contact page: https://www.decoraihome.com/contact - Email support: mailto:decorai@rocketdigital.ai
