When I started using AI, it was for simple tasks – optimized my resume and helped with the negotiation to be negotiated. Nowadays, I turn to AI assistant from the analysis at PHD level up to finding the perfect haircut for my face shape.
But only when I started shopping for a new home did I discover an unexpected use for AI: I helped me to design my dream house.
After trying several AI tools, I kept coming back to Claude. While Chatgpt gives up most of the headlines, Claude has become my partner for design, probably because it actually seems to understand the nuances of what I try to understand instead of just spitting out generic suggestions.
Its ability to visualize spaces, the practical understanding of the placement of the furniture and the color theory, it has less like a chat bot than interior designers. When I decided to completely redesign my living space, I knew exactly where to turn.
1. Take the style questionnaire

Before you immerse yourself in certain design decisions, you must understand your personal aesthetics. Claude can create a detailed questionnaire that helps to determine its preferences and to design the personality. Try the entry request below.
“I plan to buy my first house and really want to nail the interior design. Create a detailed multiple -choice questionnaire so that I know which color scheme, the mood and for aesthetics can be seen.”

Claude's questionnaire was extremely thorough and immersed in certain scenarios instead of just asking about coloring positions.
It took into account everything that I took into account in the design of the aesthetics and the characteristics of your house – from my preferred lighting style and my window treatments to my approximation to the works of art.
2. Share your answers

Take your time to answer every question. The more time you spend to take into account the questions asked, the better your design recommendations are tailored.
When I took the quiz, there were cases in which I could not choose an answer and instead decided on two. If you not only pursue this approach, personalize your results even more, but facts, but that two somewhat opposite aesthetics can be combined in an interesting way.

Based on the answers provided, Claude analyzed my interior design preferences and used it to create a design profile. After the AI I reach for a versatile style that feels warm, comfortable and has character.
Claude proposed that my design profile is a mixture of “rustic farmhouse” and “Bohemian” elements. What is frankly pretty much in terms of my personal taste.
3. Create your original moodboard

After Claude understands her style, ask him to suggest certain elements for a mood board. This helps to visualize how different components work together.
Use the following input: “Based on my answers, should I include in a moodboard for this style? Does I contain certain materials, textures and design elements.”

What made this particularly valuable was how elements disassembled into certain categories – from key materials and textures to colors and specific furniture silhouettes. Instead of vague suggestions, I received concrete recommendations such as “Antiqulated brass lights” that I can actually search for.
The attention to detail was particularly helpful – – things like “fringed edges on pillows” and “curved legs on tables” gave me specific functions when shopping. And the proposed room scenes at the end were a brilliant note that helped me how all these elements would come together in an actual space.
4. Define your color palette

Use the command prompt “Can you provide the hex codes for a primary and accentic color palette that fits this style?”
In this way you save so much time over every color in the spectrum and ensure the consistency in your design profile. It is also avoided when shopping for color fields.

Claude's hex code has completely changed my design process. Gone was the frustrating assumption to try to create a coherent palette. Instead of vaguely looking for “warm cream” and hope that retailers would interpret it in the same way – I could simply refer to #f5EEE1 when I put together the moodboard.
I also found Claudee's thoughtful organization of colors to function particularly valuable. By separating primary basic colors of accents and metallic tones, I gained immediate clarity about how I approached my space. I particularly appreciated the differentiated advice on different accent colors in different rooms.
5. Refine your selection

Finally, limit the suggestions to create a focused design direction that feels completely authentic for you.
You can do this by using the input request: “From these suggestions, which key pieces would create the strongest basis for my [style] home?”

I had no longer overwhelmed endless shopping lists and now had clear instructions where I should focus on my first investments. The information from recommendations in categories – furniture foundation, floor lighting, lighting and wall elements – created a roadmap that could actually follow me.
Claude not only suggested “a sofa” -assumed, I received a special direction in the direction of “a crowded, comfortable sofa in a neutral oatmeal laundry or warm cream performance -fabric”. This level of detail made shopping easier.
What impressed me the most was how the thoughtful sequencing of the AI, which made a complete new house, felt accessible. Starting with these basic elements, immediate effects would have an immediate effect, so that I can gradually build my space over time without having to rush or overwhelmed.
“Rustic Bohemian” Mood Board

Cooperation with Claude to design my home was surprisingly effective. The step-by-step process is based on the attentive of the identification of my unique style mix up to the provision of specific material recommendations and exact color codes.
But it was the mood board that really brought together. I used Canva to visualize the design elements that Claude suggested: recovered wooden textures, brass accents, layered textiles and much more. When I saw these components organized, I helped myself my future space in a way that felt accessible.
To transform with Claude as interior designers, which could have been an overwhelming project into a structured plan that I can confidently carry out to create the tools to create a home that is authentically reflecting who I am, instead of just leading the styling of show floor or catalog.
