Tried using ChatGPT to redesign my awkward living room layout and failed miserably. Finally found a way better (free) alternative.
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to vent/share a quick tip because I’ve been losing my mind trying to visualize a furniture layout for my new place.
Like a lot of people recently, I started out trying to use ChatGPT/DALL-E to help me brainstorm interior design ideas. Honestly, it was a headache. It’s so step-by-step and requires so much handholding. You type a massive paragraph describing your room, it gives you a wall of text, you ask for a picture, and it gives you some AI-generated mansion that looks nothing like your apartment. If you want to tweak just one piece of furniture, you have to start the whole back-and-forth prompt dialogue all over again.
I was complaining about this to a friend and they showed me a site called SenseSpace.
It completely skips the text prompting phase. You literally just upload a photo of your actual empty/messy room, and it renders different design styles (like Japandi, mid-century, etc.) directly onto your space. It's completely free to mess around with and generate different angles.
Unlike generic AI, it actually places realistic decor pieces into the image, which made it way easier to use as a mood board when I was shopping around later.
