Snap a photo and get a designer-quality redesign in seconds. It's free, every piece is shoppable, and it's built for interior design, not a generic image generator. Want a human? One's a step away.
By The Havenly Design Team · Updated July 2026
Free on the web and in the Havenly iOS app. Want a person on it? Online sessions with a designer start at $199/room.
Here's the fast version: take a photo of your room, tell Havenly AI the vibe you're after, and get back a redesign you can actually shop, in seconds. It's free. No subscription, no commitment, no waiting on an inbox.
It's the do-it-yourself way to see your space differently before you spend a dollar. Test a layout, try a palette, find out whether that sectional actually fits.
Generic AI tools and Pinterest are great for one thing: inspiration. If you want a mood, a color story, or 40 pretty rooms to scroll, they deliver. The wall they all hit is the same one: they can't design your actual room, and you can't buy what they show you.
Havenly AI was built for interior design, not generic image generation. It starts from a photo of your space, it's trained on over a decade of real Havenly projects, and every piece it puts in your room is real and shoppable, connected to our designer-curated marketplace. See a sofa you don't love? Swap it. And when you want a person, a real Havenly designer is one step away, online or in person.
| Havenly AI | Generic AI (ChatGPT, Midjourney) | 3D room planners | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | Free | Free or paid | Free or paid |
| Designs your actual room | Yes, from your photo | No, it invents a generic room | Yes, but you build it by hand |
| Products you can buy | Every piece is shoppable | Not real products | Limited to its catalog |
| Trained on real designs | A decade of Havenly projects | General internet images | Not applicable |
Snap a photo and let Havenly AI do the first draft. Free, every piece shoppable, no commitment.
1. Capture. Snap a photo of your room, or upload one you already have.
2. Design. Share your style, and get a personalized design in seconds.
3. Customize. Don't love the rug? Swap it. Edit every detail until it feels like yours.
4. Shop. Buy everything in your design right in the app, or bring in a designer to finish it.
Some rooms don't need a designer, and we'll say so. If you're refreshing a space, testing a palette, or filling one obvious gap, Havenly AI is often all you need. Free, fast, done.
Other projects genuinely benefit from a person: a whole-home plan, a renovation, an awkward layout you've fought for years, or a room where the budget is high enough that you want it right the first time. For those, an online session with a Havenly designer is $199/room, and in-person full-service is $699. Same team behind the AI, now in your corner.
The best part: you don't choose up front. Start free with the AI, and bring in a designer only if and when you want to.

Yes. Designing your room with Havenly AI is free, no subscription and no commitment. You only pay if you buy furniture from your design, or if you choose to work with a human designer.

Yes. Havenly AI is connected to our designer-curated marketplace, so the pieces in your design are real products you can buy right in the app.
Two ways: on the web at Havenly AI, or in the Havenly iOS app by tapping AI in the menu. Upload a photo of your room and start designing.
Swap any piece, change the style, adjust the budget, and try again. It costs nothing to keep exploring until it feels like yours.
Anytime. If you'd rather hand it off, an online session with a Havenly designer is $199/room and in-person full-service is $699. You won't start over, the designer picks up from where you are.
