Only one gives you a room you can actually build. No generic style filter. No random output. Just your room, your taste, and a plan you can shop. [Design My Room Now](https://app.framehouse.design/auraquiz) Photos of your home stay private 01 The Short Version InteriorAI is a render generator. You upload a photo, pick a style and a mode, and it spits out a new version of your room in seconds. It's fast, and for quick visual inspiration, it works. But the output stops there: no shopping list, no swatches, no plan, no path from "interesting picture" to a room you actually live in. That's not a flaw so much as a different category of tool. InteriorAI is built for rapid iteration: generate, discard, generate again. Framehouse starts at the same step, your photo, your style, but finishes the job: a curated, photoreal redesign plus a full Design Playbook with everything you need to make it real. 02 The Verdict ## One gives you a picture. The other gives you a plan. ![Original living room before Framehouse redesign](/assets/lookbook-livingroom-before-BQnmrJ2C.png)Before ![Framehouse living room redesign rendered in minutes](/assets/lookbook-livingroom-after-836k315y.png)Generated with Framehouse After I nteriorAI's strength is volume and speed: pick a style, generate, repeat. It's built for fast exploration, and the free tier (5 renders a day) is genuinely useful for browsing ideas. But the renders are generic by design, pulled from a style filter, not curated around your actual room's light, layout, or bones. There's no shopping list, no swatches, no next step. Framehouse takes the same upload and turns it into something you can act on: a curated redesign built around what's actually in your room, plus a full plan, budget, palette, and shopping list, to get you from picture to finished space. 03 Real Rooms, Real Redesigns ## Curated, not generated at random. Every Framehouse room is built around your actual walls, windows, and light. Not a filter applied to any photo. Built by Real Designers ## Designer-level taste. Your final call. Every transformation is crafted with the same eye a professional designer brings to a $50K remodel. Framehouse gives you that caliber of vision for every room in your home. ![After: Brownstone Revival](/assets/lookbook-brownstone-after-KpO0Dble.png)![Before: Original room](/assets/lookbook-brownstone-before-C7KTlbkA.png) Before After Brownstone Revival Living Room 1 / 7 [Explore the Lookbook ](/lookbook) Thousands of designs and counting Every transformation is crafted with the same eye a professional designer brings to a real project. Framehouse gives you that caliber of vision, not a style filter. 04 Context ## How InteriorAI actually works InteriorAI lets you upload a room photo, choose a style from a preset library, and pick between two modes: virtual staging, which keeps your room's structure and only swaps furniture and decor, or full interior design, which can change walls, floors, and ceilings entirely. The free tier includes up to 5 renders per day; the Pro plan runs about $29 a month for unlimited renders and faster processing. It's built for speed and volume, not curation. There's no Design Playbook, no shopping list, no swatches, and no option to bring in a human designer's review. What you get is the render, and the render alone. From there, you're on your own to figure out what's actually in the image and how to source it. InteriorAI also supports sketch-to-render and SketchUp file uploads, which makes it a reasonable early-stage tool if you're starting from a floor plan rather than a photo. That's a real use case Framehouse doesn't target. Where the two diverge is what happens after the image: InteriorAI's output is the end of the process, while Framehouse's render is the starting point for a plan you can actually execute. 05 A Fair Read ## Where InteriorAI actually makes sense To be fair to InteriorAI: it's a genuinely useful tool for two specific jobs. Real estate agents and property managers use its virtual staging mode to furnish empty listings quickly and cheaply, since the structure stays untouched and only furniture changes. And anyone in the very early "just exploring" phase, before they've committed to a style or even a budget, can burn through free renders to see what different aesthetics might look like in their space. What it's not built for is taking you from that exploration to an actual finished room. There's no budget, no shopping list, no sense of what any of it would cost or where to buy it. That's where the two tools genuinely part ways. ![A Victorian living room redesigned by Framehouse](/assets/lookbook-victorian-after-DQvsFOa1.png)Generated with Framehouse " A picture is interesting.

The question is whether you want a quick visual sketchpad or a finished plan you can act on. Here's where each one actually delivers: Framehouse wins on - Curation. Every redesign is built around your room's actual layout, light, and bones, not a generic filter. - The full plan. A Design Playbook with shopping list, swatches, and budget, included. - Optional human review. Add a real designer's eye if you want one, never required. - Going from picture to purchase. You leave with something you can actually shop and build. InteriorAI wins on - Pure volume at low cost. The free tier gives you 5 renders a day to browse ideas quickly. - Simplicity for quick visual brainstorming, no commitment to a plan or a direction. - A subscription model if you want ongoing access to generate images indefinitely. - Sketch-to-render and SketchUp file support for early-stage concept work. 08 Why People Switch ## Three reasons folks move from InteriorAI to Framehouse Generated with Framehouse ![A picture isn't a plan.](/assets/lookbook-blush-after-3IHe8kpi.png) 1 ### A picture isn't a plan. Renders are step one, not the finish line. InteriorAI gives you a render and stops. Framehouse gives you the render plus a shopping list, swatches, and a budget, the actual steps to make the room real. Generated with Framehouse ![Generic filters vs. your real room.](/assets/lookbook-attic-after-MIJ4jyNW.png) 2 ### Generic filters vs. your real room. Designed for your space, not dropped into it. InteriorAI applies a style preset to any photo. Framehouse reads your room's actual layout, light, and architecture, so the result looks like it was designed for your space, not dropped into it. Generated with Framehouse ![A ceiling on quality, not just renders.](/assets/lookbook-dining-after-Ns7-eKYo.png) 3 ### A ceiling on quality, not just renders. More renders don't fix a generic result. More renders don't fix a generic result. Framehouse is curated by design standards, not just generated faster. 09 How Framehouse Works Not a filter. A process that actually considers your room.
