Framehouse Design

Framehouse Design is a design tool. Framehouse is an iOS app that redesigns a photo of any room, yard or exterior in hundreds of styles, then adds a chat assistant and Playbook with budget, products, DIY steps and paint colors.

Framehouse is an iPhone and iPad app that turns a photo of a real space into redesigned versions of it. The user snaps a picture, picks from a library of styles, and the app generates ideas on top of the original image, so lighting, angles and proportions stay tied to the actual room. The range of subjects is wide: living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, garages, sheds, patios, exteriors, and even RVs and boats. The workflow is built around iteration. Up to 20 ideas can be generated at once, and once a direction looks right, smaller edits such as swapping wallpaper, adding art or deciding what to keep are made on the same design. Everything is saved automatically in the account, and designs can be compared and shared with other people. A fair use limit of 30 generations per day applies. What separates it from a plain image generator is the planning layer attached to each design. A chat assistant that already knows the project answers questions about colors, light and budget. A Playbook then lays out the plan: a budget estimate, a shopping list of the products visible in the design, DIY steps for the parts a homeowner can handle, paint colors, and a way to find professionals. That makes it useful for renters, first-time homeowners and anyone weighing paint, siding, landscaping or a patio before spending money. The audience is mainly non-designers who cannot afford or do not want to hire a decorator. Compared with dedicated virtual staging tools aimed at real estate agents, or general image editors that need prompting skill, Framehouse targets the homeowner deciding what to do next. It is primarily an iOS product, with a web version reachable from the site and Android described as coming later. Access starts with a three-day free trial, followed by a weekly or yearly subscription billed through the App Store. A blog called The Edit publishes layout and landscaping ideas as inspiration.
