Video of the week: AI interior design: What does the future of interior design look like?
17 August, 2023
IKEA launches a new AI-powered experience to allow customers to create a life-like design of their rooms. AI is the biggest trend nowadays and it sneaks into our lives from all possible directions. And, in fact, I think we should not fight this change. Therefore, I want to talk about how can AI change the home office furniture industry, as it is going to be also a part of our lives, if we want it or not.
How can AI change the home office furniture industry?
Augmented reality
Now, let me tell you about the coolest kid on the AR block – IKEA! They’ve got this mind-blowing app called “IKEA Kreativ” that’s practically like a witchcraft of furniture. You can zap virtual furniture right into your real-life space, and guess what? You can show off your enchanted setup on social media, and with a wave of a wand… I mean, with just a click, that furniture can be yours! And here’s the cherry on top: they’re rocking a whopping 98% accuracy when it comes to making sure those virtual pieces fit like a glove. It’s like bringing a touch of magic to your home sweet home.
IKEA Kreativ combines decades of IKEA life at home expertise with the latest developments in spatial computing, machine learning and 3D mixed reality technologies.
Trends prediction
Machine learning (ML) algorithms are like furniture fortune tellers. They dive into all that consumer data and produce crazy accurate predictions about the next big design trends. And get this, they’re not just picking it out of thin air – they’re looking at stuff like what’s buzzing on social media, what people are searching for online, and even what they’re swiping their cards for, so you won’t miss the trends about the hottest styles, colors, and materials!
Manufacturing process enhancement
AI isn’t just stopping at design – it’s flexing its muscles in the manufacturing game too! Picture this: super high-tech robots and machines infused with AI magic are taking center stage. And guess what? They’re not just creating furniture; they’re crafting personalized masterpieces with precision and speed.
These AI-powered wizards can cut, shape, and put furniture together with an accuracy that’s out of this world. Imagine having a machine that can slice, dice, and assemble furniture with such finesse that even the most skilled craftspeople would be dazzled. And here’s the kicker: it’s not just about the wow factor – it’s practical too. Thanks to AI, modern tailor-made furniture is rolling out of the factory much faster, with fewer mishaps, and at a way friendlier cost.
Sustainable design solutions
I can’t stop talking about the importance of sustainable furniture and interior design and advocating for sustainable living, having sustainability at the core of Ommik‘s mission.
AI is stepping up to the plate to make sure our furniture dreams don’t harm the planet. AI is a pro at figuring out how to use materials super efficiently, which means less waste. Those smart ML algorithms dive into things like how strong a piece of furniture needs to be, what materials to use, and even how they impact the Earth. Besides, it’s also got its eyes on recycling and repurposing. Imagine machines that can transform old furniture into something new and amazing, all while giving a nod to Mother Nature’s recycling plan!
Customer Service
Previously, I tried to avoid chatbots, as they were not much of a help. Now, when they are powered by AI, you feel like you are talking to a professional. Those chatbots are trained to understand, explain and give advice about furniture pieces and interior design. They recommend to customers the best items that would be unique, based on customers’ needs. And guess what, they are available 24/7!
To sum it up, the blend of AI and the home office furniture scene brings about a fresh wave of creativity, efficiency, and eco-friendliness. The changes we’re seeing paint a picture of a future where AI adds a special touch to not just products, but the whole experience. Going along with this shift isn’t just embracing change but inviting a world where technology and human creativity come together, resulting in spaces that are practical yet uniquely stylish. As AI keeps progressing, we’re right at the doorstep of a reimagined home office furniture realm, where the unimaginable becomes real, and “the everyday” turns extraordinary.
