Artificial intelligence has the potential to reduce home interior costs by up to 10% as developers and proptech firms use data-driven tools to streamline design, procurement, and execution. The same tool can reduce project timelines from the design stage to actual production by at least 80%, experts said.

AI-powered visualisation platforms let buyers digitally furnish empty apartments and experiment with layouts, colours and décor before finalising packages. By minimising revisions, material waste and on-site errors, these tools help curb inefficiencies that typically drive up costs and extend project timelines, they said.
AI can reduce the interior design project timeline by at least one-fifth
According to Swetank Jain, CEO of Bonito Designs, artificial intelligence can be applied to the interiors business in two distinct ways: on the sales side and in the core design process.
“With AI involved, a designer’s productivity and turnaround time can improve five to six times. Designers will increasingly focus on understanding client aspirations and lifestyle needs, while AI handles labour-intensive backend work, 3D creation, first-layer layouts, technical detailing and documentation,” he said. As integration deepens between design software and factory production systems, the impact could extend to execution timelines,” he told Hindustan Times Real Estate.
“There is a lot of repetitive work when someone designs a home. AI can reduce that drastically, potentially bringing down the timeline from designing to the time it goes into production to at least one-fifth or reduce the overall time by at least 80%,” he said.
