About AI Lighting Designer

Lighting is the invisible layer that makes a room feel expensive or exhausting. The AI Lighting Designer plans ambient, task, and accent lighting on a photo of your real room.

What this designer does

It adds pendants, downlights, wall lights, floor and table lamps, and accent lighting while keeping walls, floors, and furniture in place. You can choose a warm or cool colour temperature.

Who should use it

  • Homeowners planning a whole home lighting scheme
  • Renovators wiring in downlights and pendants during a refit

  • Add task lighting over a kitchen island
  • Preview a statement pendant over a dining table

Before you upload

  • Include the ceiling in frame
  • Avoid direct sunlight that overpowers the existing lights
