AI home design: your whole home, redesigned from a photo

Updated October 3, 2026

AI home design turns a photo of your home into a realistic new version of it: with Renova you snap a room, the front of the house, the garden or the backyard, pick a style, and the same space comes back redesigned with its walls, windows and camera angle kept. One app covers inside and out with 10 tools, and a free account makes 3 designs a day.

The same living room in Japandi style, the sofa where it was, with natural wood, linen, warm light and fewer things on show
Made with AI

How it works

  1. A dated kitchen with beech-effect cabinets, brass handles, a speckled gray laminate worktop and small white wall tiles

    Photograph the space as it is

    Shoot in daylight, from a corner of the room or from the back door looking across the garden, with the phone held at chest height and level. Get as much of the space into the frame as you can. There is no need to tidy up first, and an empty room after a move works just as well. Already have a photo? Pick it from your camera roll.

  2. The Renova app showing a grid of interior styles to choose from, with Japandi and Scandinavian among them

    Choose the tool and the style

    Interior design restyles a room in one of 30 styles, and its mode sets how far it goes: Refresh keeps your furniture, Renovate keeps the layout, Redesign rethinks the room. Exterior design gives the house a new face (14 styles), Garden design works on the yard (14 styles) and Pool design adds a pool (12 styles). For one job only, there are Furnish empty room, New walls, New floor and Rearrange furniture.

  3. The Renova app comparing a room before and after its redesign with a slider across the picture

    Compare, redo and keep designing

    Drag the slider across the picture to flip between your photo and the new design. Not quite right? Press Redo for another version of the same choices. Like it? Carry on from the result with new walls, a different floor or another palette, or save it to your phone and send it to whoever you share the house with.

Examples

A 1990s kitchen with light beech cabinet doors, a gray laminate counter, white square tiles and patterned vinyl flooringBeforeThe same kitchen renovated in Scandinavian style, cabinets in the same places with new pale fronts, a fresh worktop and brighter lightingAfter
Interior design, Renovate, Scandinavian: the cabinets stay where they are while fronts, worktops, walls and lighting change, a useful picture to have before you ask a kitchen fitter for a quote
An empty living room in a new apartment with white walls, gray laminate floor, a radiator and a wide window to the balconyBeforeThe same new-build living room furnished in Scandinavian style with a sofa, a rug, shelving and lampsAfter
Furnish empty room, Scandinavian: a bare room on handover day, filled with a sofa, rug, storage and lighting before you buy a single piece
The front of a 1980s two-story house with faded pale yellow timber siding, white window frames and a brown front doorBeforeThe same house in Scandinavian style, with light wood cladding, black window frames and new planting by the doorAfter
Exterior design, Scandinavian: the same shape, roofline and openings, with light wood cladding, black frames and fresh planting out front
A plain back garden with a patchy lawn, a strip of concrete slabs, a plastic table, wooden fences and a small shedBeforeThe same garden turned into an outdoor living space with a paved patio, a pergola, seating around a fire pit and planted bedsAfter
Garden design, Outdoor living: the plot, fences and house stay, and a patio, pergola, fire pit seating and planting beds turn the lawn into an outdoor room
A wide, empty backyard with a yellowing lawn, a small terrace with two folding chairs and a tall timber fenceBeforeThe same backyard with a modern rectangular pool, pale decking around it and new planting along the fenceAfter
Pool design, Modern: a pool sized to fit the yard, with decking and planting, to decide from before you call a pool builder
A family entrance hall with scuffed white walls, a white shoe cabinet, coat hooks and a white staircase banisterBeforeThe same entrance hall with its walls painted deep green, the shoe cabinet, coats and stairs unchangedAfter
New walls, Deep green: only the walls change, so the hallway shows exactly how a bold paint color looks before you buy a can
A dining area with shiny beige 1990s floor tiles, a dark wood table with six chairs and a white sideboardBeforeThe same dining area with a herringbone oak floor, the table, chairs and sideboard exactly where they wereAfter
New floor, Herringbone: the old tiles become oak herringbone while the furniture and walls stay as they are

Limits

A free account makes 3 designs a day with every tool, and free designs carry a watermark. Pro raises that to 50 designs a day without the watermark and adds a design assistant you can chat with, up to 100 messages a day. Both plans need you to sign in, which keeps your photos private and your designs saved on every device.

What it does not do

AI home design works from one photo, so it only knows what the camera saw. What you get is a realistic picture to decide with, not a drawing: Renova does not measure, draw floor plans to scale, list materials or sell furniture, and sizes in every design, including the pool and the 3D view from a floor plan, are an impression rather than a measurement. For building, extending or ordering to size, classic home design software with 3D modeling and plans to scale is still the better tool, and an architect or builder has the final word. Many people use both: AI to choose the look in minutes, then a program or a professional to make it real.

Questions and answers

Something else? Write to support@renovaroom.com.

Is there a free AI home design app?

Yes. Renova's free account makes 3 designs a day with every tool, inside and out; Pro raises that to 50. For more on the free plan, see the free AI room designer.

Can AI design the outside of my house and my garden?

Yes. Exterior design restyles the front of the house, Garden design reworks the yard and Pool design adds a pool, each from a photo you take outside.

Will it keep my furniture?

It can. Choose Refresh in Interior design and your furniture stays while colors, textiles and decor change; New walls and New floor touch nothing else. See AI room design for more on the modes.

Does it work on my phone and on the web?

Yes, on iPhone, Android and in a web browser, in 32 languages. Your designs follow your account from one device to the next.

How accurate is AI home design?

Close enough to choose a style, a paint color or a floor with confidence, but not exact. Colors depend on light, and sizes are an impression, so try samples and measure before you buy.

Can I use it to plan a build or an extension?

Not on its own. It gives you a picture of the look, not a drawing to scale, so take it to your architect or builder as a starting point. To design from a photo you already have, start with any room.
