Introduction
Making interior design decisions is expensive and permanent. Flik lets you visualize room designs, test furniture arrangements, try different color schemes, and explore multiple styles before committing to changes.
This guide teaches you how to use AI to preview interior design changes and make confident decisions about your space.
What You'll Learn
- How to request interior design visualizations
- Uploading photos of your current space
- Exploring different design styles
- Testing materials, colors, and furniture
- Comparing multiple design options
Step 1: Upload Photos of Your Space
For best results, upload photos of your current room:
- Take photos from multiple angles
- Include windows, doors, and architectural features
- Show the entire room if possible
- Natural lighting is best
The AI will analyze your room's dimensions, layout, lighting, and existing features to create accurate visualizations.
Step 2: Describe What You Want to Change
Tell the AI what you want to visualize:
"Show me my living room in modern Scandinavian style"
"Visualize my kitchen with white cabinets and marble countertops"
"I want to see different paint colors for my bedroom"
"Show me how this couch would look in my living room"
Common Use Cases
Style Exploration
Not sure what style you want? Generate multiple options:
"Show me my living room in 4 different styles: modern, traditional, industrial, and coastal"
The AI generates the same room in each aesthetic. Compare and choose your favorite, then request refinements to the style you prefer.
Material Testing
Test different materials before purchasing:
- "Show me my kitchen with quartz, granite, and marble countertops"
- "Try 3 different flooring options: oak, tile, and concrete"
- "Visualize my cabinets in white, gray, and navy"
Furniture Visualization
See furniture in your space before buying:
- Upload a photo of furniture you're considering
- "Show me how this sectional would look in my living room"
- The AI places it in your actual space
- See if it's the right size and style
Popular Interior Styles

Tips for Better Visualizations
- Upload clear room photos - Well-lit, full room views

- Request multiple options - Compare before deciding
- Upload inspiration images - Show examples of styles you like
- Consider your space's constraints - Windows, doors, room size
💡 Style References: Upload Pinterest saves or magazine photos of styles you love. The AI will analyze them and create designs that match that aesthetic in your specific space.
