Wayfair has launched a free \u201cvirtual room restyler\u201d called Decorify<\/a>. It employs generative AI to show you a redecorated version of the room you want to zhuzh after you upload a picture of it and choose the visual style you want. Then, if you like what you see, you can pick from a grid of furniture recommendations presented to the right of your AI-remodeled room.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Shrenik Sadalgi, R&D director at Wayfair, says, \u201cDecorify creates a discovery experience that provides endless inspiration and powers the home personalization journey.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Remember those augmented reality shopping app features that let you plop furniture down in your house<\/a> using your smartphone\u2019s camera? This ain\u2019t that \u2014 Decorify won\u2019t show you renders of actual, existing furniture within your actual room. Wayfair uses an AI model to create new imagery, so it\u2019s going to show you weird reflections on curtains, plants sitting on day beds, and furniture that doesn\u2019t quite make sense, and it might just decide your room is twice the size it actually is. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

After you\u2019ve uploaded your picture, a drop-down lets you pick from several styles, which can be something well-defined like \u201cmid-century modern\u201d or \u201cfarmhouse\u201d or more vague, like \u201cbohemian\u201d or \u201cperfectly pink.\u201d Then you enter what type of room you\u2019re decorating (right now, only living rooms are supported). <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Alternatively, you can select single items in your room to have Wayfair\u2019s model replace them with something in one of the styles from its drop-down menu. The site works on a computer or on your phone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I asked Wayfair how it plans to improve the feature in the future, and Sadalgi said the company is planning to fine-tune its model, which he said is open-source, to add \u201cproprietary branding data\u201d so the designs it produces will have more \u201c1:1 matches of Wayfair products.\u201d He added that eventually, customers would be able to \u201cstart with a list of products first\u201d and create a room with those furniture pieces in it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As for product suggestions, Sadalgi said they are created by a computer vision model \u201ctrained on our extensive product catalog.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Wayfair isn\u2019t the only company using AI to help with house-decorating visualization. A site called HomeDesigns AI offers a similar feature \u2014 starting at $27 a month \u2014 as does VisualizeAI, which also costs money but offers more style options than Decorify and lets you enter items to include or exclude from the generated image. A quick Google search says there are countless other apps and services offering to do the same thing, many in exchange for your money. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Wayfair, on the other hand, isn\u2019t charging customers to use Decorify, and as far as I can tell from tinkering with some of the other options online, it\u2019s about as powerful a tool, if a little sparse on options at the moment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
