Kitchen Renovation ideas animation using Stable Diffusion [video]
Using stable diffusion to generate and walk through different kitchen renovation ideas.
- gus_massa 4y agoDid you start with some stock photos? The photos of your kitchen? There are a lot of changes in the windows and other stuff that is difficult to modify in real life. It would be nice to be able to restrict the changes, but it's probably difficult to "explain" that restriction to Stable Diffusion.
- albertgt 4y agoI let it generate the initial start image, but I could see how another option would be to guide it with an initial real photo. that would be cool too.
- xsmasher 4y agoThis link from a few days ago lets you provide the seed image. https://interiorai.com/ https://interiorai.com/ Same issue though, it may suggest you remove your ceiling or move a door.
- galfarragem 4y agoAs an (housing) architect this is simultaneously amazing and terrifying. In some way, stable diffusion works like the architect mind that has seen more kitchens (in this case) than the average person and somehow (consciously or unconsciously) proposes a solution based on that. Our edge - for now - is knowing what is feasible/economical.
- albertgt 4y agothat is super cool you are in that industry, any thoughts on a tool that assists interior design teams/architects on this kind of ideation?
- galfarragem 4y agoIt has the potential to retire the average salaryman in the creativity field (not just interior design teams/architects but specially UI/web designers). Outliers will be outliers and choosing one may give the client an edge but the average creative may not do much better than this "AI" and as such loose the ability to put bread on the table doing "creative" work.
- folex 4y agoDo you think it's gonna be a tool used by these "average teams" or like a standalone self-serve product without any service human involved? I'd bet on a former, but why do you think?
- wizzzzzy 4y agoOne thing I'd say as a UI/Web designer is that often you are responding to a unique set of requirements to a specific brand / use case / functionality. I can 100% see how tools like this will influence and redefine the idea phase of a project but at the moment I can't see how it will make the leap from something that looks like a fuzzy representation of an end product to something that IS the end product.
- prpl 4y agooutliers don’t always start out as outliers though, it’s a skill that needs development usually
- pfd1986 4y agoAs someone in my field (radiology) has put: It's not that doctors will be replaced by AI, doctors using AI will replace those who do not.
- monkeydust 4y agoNice, a short how-to writeup on this (even on Youtube description for video) would be good.

- vasco 4y agoOnce we can do "more like this", "less like that" in a way that doesn't require a 3 paragraph inscrutable word soup for prompts, I don't see how this doesn't revolutionalize most industries that need any type of quick prototyping of anything. You could do this for any sort of web / mobile / whatever UI, designing houses, cars, any object really, fashion, etc. It's all going to be so much faster.
- yieldcrv 4y agoI think its either a simpler program with a phrase database, or another AI, that all serves as an abstraction to understanding prompt sections to steer Stable Diffusion
- FerociousTimes 4y agoThis is still rehashing the same concepts/ideas in circulation not producing novel ones nor innovating in this space. Maybe it will prove beneficial for rapid prototyping during the ideation stage for mass-market products/services in the commercial/residential remodeling industry but nothing revolutionary.
- richk449 4y agoSeems like a valid point, but aren’t 99.999% of kitchen remodels rehashing the same ideas and concepts in circulation? 99.999% of clothes? 99.999% of furniture?
- FerociousTimes 4y agoThis wasn't a value judgement BTW. I acknowledged the valid and productive use cases for this project but pointed out that it wasn't revolutionary in creativity or innovation at this stage. For me, it looks like Pinterest on steroids, very capable and efficient but not mind-blowing or out of this world.
- galfarragem 4y ago> This is still rehashing the same concepts/ideas in circulation not producing novel ideas or innovating in this space. That's exactly what the average creative professional does. As an anecdote, being intellectually honest, most of the architects I know (and I know many as an housing architect myself), would not do better than this tool does now - "creatively" speaking - let alone in the future.
- spywaregorilla 4y agoWell sir, I think we should remove the ceiling and add another row of windows to the kitchen. Thoughts?
- xani_ 4y agoI love how it just decided in the middle you should just move the kitchen to outside
- albertgt 4y agoi also love how there are a few frames where it has 2 or 3 dish washing machines. i need that in my life.
- wolfgang42 4y agoI have an aunt who, when she was renovating the kitchen and discovered how much custom cabinets cost, had a second dishwasher installed instead. It didn't cost much more and now she has a cabinet that can also clean the dishes as well as storing them.
- nathancahill 4y agoI mean.. not wrong?
- ldng 4y agoAnd at the same time ... only variation of conformism ? Stable Diffusion opens a lot a avenues and yet it is somewhat "restricted" to what it "knows/understands". Put differently, if cars it exposed to is black can it paint them pink ? What about even higher level construct ? It can not innovate can it ? Not yet ? Anyways, fascinating.
- ralusek 4y agoIf you go to 95% of architects or interior designers, they will give you designs that are largely representative of current trends, which is incidentally what most people want. Very few people in creative industries are truly pushing that industry into new frontiers, and that is actually appropriate. Exploring outside the frontier is actually full of failure, and far less likely to produce something most people want. I honestly think that people operating outside of the frontier of established creative trends technically have a completely different set of skills, and a completely different job altogether, than people who create within the boundaries.
- madsbuch 4y agoYou are probably not going to get Stable Diffusion to spit out a picture of a car by feeding it pictures of horses. However, we should not neglect small incremental innovation that is created by combining previously known knowledge in new ways.
- cookingrobot 4y agoFor this particular case I’d want it to be even less creative. I want it to be able to make designs that just use cabinets that are available to buy, and it should know where to source them and what they cost. And only show me lights that really exist and are for sale, etc.
- labria 4y ago[video]?
- totalview 4y agoI read a lot of these posts on stable diffusion, midjourney, etc., and I don’t want to fall into the classic “I don’t think this is ready yet” camp, but one thing an Architect will be able to do really well which these tools won’t is make a kitchen that is actually usable. I mean, this thing is basically a corrupted Pinterest of kitchen ideas with doors and drawers intersecting, beams that make no sense, and flooring that looks menacing. And until we have AGI I don’t think our program sophistication will be able to iron out these “uncanny valley” isms that seem built into every aI image generation tool. Now I know that this tool is just a “starting point” for using as ideas, but I have seen way more fabulous (and sane) kitchen designs en mass on houzz, dezeen, basically any online blog. The technology is cool, but it seems limited. As in we can only get weird amalgams of human concepts. All this to say, I work with architects professionally, and I do not see this as something that will cause their field concern in the near to mid term. These programs cannot make drawings with structural suggestions, floor plans for the layout they produce, or anything else that a person pays an architect for. Just my two cents
- subw00f 4y ago>“uncanny valley” isms What exactly does that mean? I bet most people would fail to tell things apart on a blind test comparing kitchen designs generated by humans vs. ai (not counting the "transitory" images with blurred corners etc.). Same thing with concept art.
- jansan 4y agoThis is really nice, but there are some funny things suggested that might not be too easy to realize: 1. Simply remove the ceiling beams. 2. Extend the room and place another window into the wall. 3. Replace wall with window. 4. Cut room in half and replace one part with garden. 5. Open room to garden and slowly extend ceiling into garden.
- ToJans 4y agoI like this idea but I would suggest that you invest some time in some UX validation if you want to maximize the potential usage. I own a SaaS that offers online 3D configurators for outdoor structures [1] since 2014, and tried something similar as a UX experiment a couple of years back; here is the gist of it: We offered 20 different variations on the screen at the same time, and people had to gradually fine-tune their preference by clicking on the one they liked the most. I tested this in the field, and it proved to be very confusing to the end-user, unless you highly constrain the amount of parameters that can change at the same time, and describe to the user what changed and go step by step. In the end I decided to ditch the whole idea in favor of a hard-coded step-by-step wizard where users can adjust the relevant parameters themselves one by one, which tends to work the best for the majority of the users. => My suggestion for you would be to do something similar: highly constrain the potential changes, and guide your user step by step. If you manage to do this, I think you might have gold in your hands. I would also love to challenge the naysayers who say the generated images don't make sense: in my opinion it will only be a matter of time before someone starts training or hardcoding a classifier that invalidates "wrong" images. (Especially if one would be able to generate a reasonable 3D representation of the image without too much effort.) As someone once said in a random AI video on the internet: "Dear fellow scholars, I wonder what we will be capable of just 2 more papers down the line" [1] ** edit ** removed the URL, check my profile if you really want to know...
- macrolime 4y agoI've been playing with something similar and it's pretty fun. Take a picture of a room then use img2img in stable diffusion automatic1111. Set denoising strength to a value between 0.3 and 0.6. Lower than 0.3 and not much will change, higher than 0.6 it tends to start changing the whole room. It can be used without a prompt or use a prompt to attempt to describe the room, like a "a living room with a grey couch a white table walls with wallpaper" then change parts of the prompt to morph it in desired direction, like add a chair something or add the name of art styles or "by someartistname". Just having a prompt that somewhat describes the room and pressing generate many times will also just create a lot of random alternative interiors, like in the video. If you want to create a video I guess you'd use deforum, but I haven't really tried that. The stuff documented under img2img alternative test here can also be useful if you manage to dial it in properly. This is for keeping the image more stable and getting more control of what you change. https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/wiki/Features https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/wiki...
- mensetmanusman 4y agoI love how part of it starts making me feel like the kitchen is slowly imprisoning me with less and less space. It’s an apt analogy for chasing perfection and being trapped on the hedonism treadmill.
- yubozhao 4y agoSD is great now to be "creative". It would be 1000% more useful if we can give it a few constraints and still be "creative".
- cercatrova 4y agoIsn't this like InteriorAI by Pieter Levels? You can add your own seed image in that one but it's monetized. https://interiorai.com https://interiorai.com
