Interior design styles

A working guide to the design directions the Deco Epoch AI understands. Each style card includes the rooms it suits best, the materials that carry it, and a few tips we use ourselves before generating a redesign. Pick a direction and open the matching tool to apply it to your own photo.

  • Linen
  • Terrazzo

Design tips
