AI Interior Designer: from a photo of your living room to three proposals with budget and stores

A useful AI interior designer isn't the one that generates a gorgeous living room you could never buy — it's the one that turns a photo of your actual living room into proposals you can execute. Ivanka, NAIARA's interior designer, brings 15 years of creating homes to your phone, no building work involved: send her a photo of the room — or your floor plan — and she shows you, photorealistically, the space you have in your head, in any style from Mediterranean to Japandi. Then she gets practical: budget first, real furniture filtered by store (Ikea, Maisons du Monde, Zara Home, La Redoute), side-by-side product comparisons before you buy, even the lighting each room is missing. She advises, never imposes. NAIARA is an app with 59 specialized AI agents; you can start chatting with Ivanka for free on Google Play and the App Store.

The problem: stunning renders, unchanged homes

Most AI decor apps that dominate search do the same thing: you upload a photo and get back a spectacular render… full of furniture that doesn't exist in any store. You keep the inspiration and lose the path: no prices, no dimensions, no shops, no clue whether your budget stretches that far.

That's the easy half of interior design. The hard half — the professional half — is the rest: understanding how you live, deciding where to spend and where to save, choosing materials that survive kids or pets, and closing a shopping list that adds up to what you can pay. Ivanka does both halves: first she shows you the dream space photorealistically, then she breaks it down into real products with prices and links. From "someday" to shopping cart.

What Ivanka does with a photo (or a plan)

Your empty living room, solved three ways

The scene that sums it up: you've just moved in and the living room is an empty rectangle with a bare bulb. You send Ivanka the photo, tell her your budget and style — or ask her to show you two or three different directions — and she returns the same room, furnished, photorealistically: a bright Mediterranean version, a serene Japandi one, something bolder. Every proposal carries its logic: function before aesthetics, and the 70/30 rule so the room breathes instead of looking like a catalog page. You pick the one that feels like home, then move on to the shopping list.

From floor plan to whole home

Starting from zero? Upload the plan: Ivanka can design the full renovation or go room by room, each with its own style. It's the sane way to furnish a flat without impulse purchases: the whole first, the pieces after. Everything is saved in My Projects and My Ideas, with favorites, search and sorting — so March's bathroom project doesn't blur into June's bedroom. Every find — that armchair you spotted on a random Tuesday — waits, filed, until its moment comes.

A personal shopper for your home

Tell her what you need — "a three-seater sofa under 800 euros that can survive a dog" — and Ivanka filters by supplier, style and price until it's yours, then tries it in your space on your own photo. Fell in love with a Pinterest image? Show her: she finds the lookalike, the similar pieces you can actually buy. And before you pay, she puts two candidates side by side with price, rating, delivery time, warranty and returns, purchase link included. That's the part of the craft no render does for you.

Lighting: the cheap renovation nobody does

Few things transform a home as much, for as little money, as lighting — and almost nobody plans it. Send her a photo of the room and Ivanka proposes the light it's missing, depending on what it is: warm, dimmable general light for the living room, task lighting over the kitchen counter, soft layers in the bedroom, protected ambient light on the terrace. With specific products, of course. If your living room "doesn't quite work" and you can't say why, start here: often nothing is surplus — a lamp is missing.

What Ivanka doesn't do

Ivanka doesn't knock down walls or tell you to: for work involving permits, installations and contractors you need an architect or certified designer who visits your home — and she'll say so herself. She doesn't decide for you either: she advises, never imposes, and if a proposal doesn't feel right she adjusts it instead of defending it. The prices and delivery times she shows come from the stores, so they can change; that's why she compares before you buy rather than promising. And she won't push you to spend more: her first professional question is your budget, and she respects it more than you do.
