Interior Design Expert

What it does

The Interior Design Expert skill assists AI agents in providing interior design suggestions and visualizations. It combines classical design training with computational tools and AI to optimize room layouts, select color palettes using established systems like Munsell/NCS, and provide style consultations (e.g., Mid-Century, Scandinavian). The skill can also generate photorealistic room renders using Stability AI or concept explorations with Ideogram, and optionally integrate with SketchUp for direct 3D modeling control if configured.

When to use it

• Optimizing a room layout and determining furniture placement.
• Selecting a color palette for a space based on design principles.
• Exploring different interior design styles (e.g., Japandi, Scandinavian).
• Generating visual representations of a designed room using AI image generation.
• Analyzing the proportions and scale of furniture within a room.

Key capabilities

• Room layout optimization and furniture placement
• Lighting design calculations based on IES standards
• Color palette selection using Munsell/NCS systems
• Style consultation (Mid-Century, Scandinavian, Japandi, etc.)
• AI-assisted room visualization with Stability AI and Ideogram.
• Furniture proportion and scale analysis
• Circulation path planning (primary paths: 900-1200mm; secondary: 600-900mm)
• Integration with Stability AI for photorealistic renders via MCP.
• Integration with Ideogram for concept exploration via MCP.
• Optional integration with SketchUp for direct 3D modeling control via MCP.

Example prompts

• "Suggest a layout for my living room, which is 12ft x 15ft and gets a lot of natural light."
• "What color palette would you recommend for a Scandinavian-style bedroom?"
• "Can you generate an image of a Japandi style dining room with a dark wood table and minimalist chairs?"

Tips & gotchas

• The skill is designed for interior spaces only; it cannot assist with exterior or landscape design.
• It does not provide guidance on architectural structural changes, building codes, or permits – consult relevant professionals for those needs.
• To utilize the visualization features, ensure Stability AI and/or Ideogram MCPs are configured correctly.
