Why Freepik AI Interior Design Tools matter for design professionals

The design industry faces more and more pressure to deliver visualizations faster than ever before. Client expectations have not only risen, as they’re aware of the photorealistic and immersive interior conceptualisations that exist, but their own access to interior design has grown. AI is both a threat and an opportunity, which is why it’s a pivotal moment to remain at the cutting edge with Freepik’s AI tools.

Breaking traditional visualization bottlenecks

Visualization workflows for interiors are often the project bottlenecks, especially early on. Professional 3D rendering software requires substantial time investment for modeling, texturing, and lighting setup, all just to provide some visual options for the client. These are resources that many design firms struggle to allocate during initial project phases, and they’re also now competing with the fact that clients may have made their own ChatGPT visualizations already. 

Freepik AI Interior Design Tools address this challenge by making concept development easier and faster while maintaining professional presentation standards. The tool has access to various off-the-shelf (professional) models, certainly, but it’s packaged up with more bespoke settings for interior designers. All in a central place, with consistent digital assets to store.

Client communication revolution

Modern clients increasingly expect immediate visual feedback during design consultations. The ability to generate interior concepts in real-time during the client meetings is a game-changer. It finally allows for a truly collaborative design process. Rather than describing potential solutions verbally, to then wait and relay the result, design professionals can go from turn-based conceptualization to real-time conceptualization. 

This immediate feedback loop helps understand the client’s wishes much quicker and more accurately. It reduces revision cycles that plague interior design projects and cost money.  

Economic impact on design practice

Small design firms will soon be better able to compete with larger studios that traditionally held advantages through extensive rendering resources and more personnel. The democratization of high-quality visualization, as Freepik’s services can be accessed for just a few bucks a month, then the playing field is leveled a little. Senior designers can begin to focus on creative visions and broader, higher-level problems. 

Designers can explore bold aesthetic directions without the traditional risk of wasted effort. The impact of this could lead to a shift in design trends which are far more avant-garde and boundary pushing, as there’s no longer an economy to being conservative.

Integration and workflow 

Freepik AI Photography Tools further ramps up the scale of production and design by addressing post-generation refinement. The platform's background removal, enhancement, inpainting capabilities, and many other generative editing tools help designers to customize and tweak their AI-generated concepts. Plus, the large stock media archive at Freepik can be used for further inspiration and springboarding ideas.

This integration between generation and refinement is tackling the price bottleneck of AI itself, in which everyday people create images using native models, getting 90% of the way there, but cannot make 100%. This final 10%, where AI iterates, is difficult when using plain text prompting, which is why Freepik has leveraged its photography and image editing tools to bridge the gap.

For designers, platforms like Freepik are only a threat when ignored. While they certainly do level the playing field, this can be advantageous to smaller firms and freelancers when used strategically.
