Arch - AI Interior Design Reviews

This AI doesn’t really help much. It gives you an unrealistic image of your room based on the style your select. For example, I kid you not, I select a style and gave me an generated image of my room without a wall to a view with a green field and a waterfall. Just skip Arch and try to use a different one. Hopefully you can get one that helps

I see no benefit for someone who’s renting, Arch works good but only for someone who can completely rebuild the room that they need. It would be extremely helpful to have a feature implemented that would let the user choose how much the AI can generate in said room.

Its a fantastic application to design your home.

I tried this in my living room for ideas to design it and all it did was show an ai generated version. It isn’t even neat or anything and it’s a letdown. I thought this would be as good as the Genie app but it clearly isn’t.

On the few photos that it can actually process, it doesn’t just decorate the area. It completely changes the structural orientation of the room. It’s stupid. And half the time it doesn’t even load.

I would have been very upset if I paid for Arch is all I can say. It gives you no options. Just a simple layout that looks cartoonish

Kept getting charged when cancelled my subscription multiple times

I enjoyed using Arch! Very helpful

The design ideas wanted to redo the ceiling, floor, fireplace etc etc. I thought it'd just tell me to put some shelves or what color curtains

I’ve taken multiple pictures of multiple rooms and it still won’t work.

What fun to re-do my condo online! (More fun than actually doing it!)

Done well. Appreciate the opportunity to participate

Relax you have fun

Nothing works I just get an error message. I have tried different pics and nothing.

Literally says “something went wrong” every single time

Does not come out as good as advertised. Appreciated the free trial to get carpet placement ideas, but would not pay money for this.

Uploaded multiple pictures. Got an error message every time

Arch has no features. Just 7-8 styles and an ugly ui
And moreover it will keep asking for money on every click

I tried several rooms multiple times and all I get is an error message

Error message every time

You get the same pics over again even if you pick a different style. I was trying to generate ideas for my office and it was coming up with stuff that didn’t even have desks. I also don’t think what it comes up with really aligns with the style. Very unimpressed. Glad I did the 3 day trial.

Excited to transform my space

Styles are extremely limited and there is no option for saving images within Arch itself. What would be great is if users could customize more detailed prompts.

Not worth it. Doesn’t even give you an option to delete/cancel the membership!

After first photo, application got stuck. Could no longer load photo of another room 🥲

Basically just a google image search. Doesn’t actually generate a design for your room you upload and they want $28 a month… I don’t understand why Arch Store lets these scam apps on here

I tried the 3-day free trial and played with it a bit. The designs are over the top. They take ALL the things and incorporate it into the final scene. Some of the more minimalistic styles are doable but the rest are so cluttered looking and dark. Texture is great. But not on EVERY surface. Color is great but not everything had to be bright and in your face. Maybe the paid version gives you more control over your design but this version is not really worth paying for.

It didn’t even pick up my windows. I’m definitely not putting a wall or fireplace over them. Seems like it’s just a generic picture of any room of the same shape. If you don’t pay, you only get to try 3 times. Arch has potential, but they still have a lot of work to do in it. It needs to be able to account for the permanent features you already have in your house.

Who is writing all the hood of Arch? It’s literally useless or maybe good for the kids to play. On top of that you can’t cancel the subscription and not even the fee trial.

Arch is just awful. First, the stylings to choose from are limited, then when you choose a styling it generates a grainy, tasteless image no matter the style you choose. It’s so bad it’s almost comical.

Updates that should be made:
Color scheme choices.
White/grey/beige are the over arching theme here.
Unless you pick industrial- then brick. Rustic you get wood. Bohemian is a hot a mess.

Honestly, you’re better off playing design home. Yes you then have to have some taste yourself. And you likely won’t get the exact same shape… But this needs a lot more development to even work for a decent inspiration app. It has some good bones… just has a long way to go.

Doesn’t actually give design ideas. Just takes current stuff and changes current stuff to whatever type you select. Very disappointing.

Bad quality

I was really hoping this would work out for me, but in reality, it just took the current furniture that I haven’t changed its style and color.

Even after paying for their pro/ unlimited membership the options given are all the same and when using their “tell AI what you want” it’s not very smart and will show you the same boring options with a slight difference.

They say it’s a free trial but charge then you can upload 1 photo, choose one style, and it recommends things that aren’t even possible/realistic. It gives you one picture and when asked to regenerate, just gave the same picture.

I downloaded Arch and it said free trial . They charged me and when disputing it they said it wasn’t a trial. Not cool. Also the pictures are the same pretty much. Don’t download you will be charged.

Arch is a joke, 7 dollars a week is legitimately outrageous and I can’t imagine one intelligent person in existence who would pay that.

Not one AI generation was useful, it doesn’t add furniture, it just takes what’s already there and changes it in a weird unrealistic way.

Want to see what new cool decorations are like? How about a chrome floor and no roof with mountains in the background??? The AI is not intelligent at all.

Be sure to cancel your free trial.

I was looking for just a way to add furniture to the room and keep the walls the way it is. Arch changes the entire room. Not what I’m looking for.

My experience seems vastly different than a lot of the other reviews. Fell in love with my first room and am going to actually use the ideas to redo the room. Was given a half price deal and got it… it’s worth the half price to me. I ran my sun porch through and again, it was perfect. I’ve been playing with different scenes, key words and phrases and having fun and it’s helping me figure out my color scheme changes.

A few things to note/suggest: additions of laundry room, porch, mud room would be great. And expanded categories would be cool. Instead of just “tropical” adding in other nature vibes would be great. I was specifically looking for ideas on how to incorporate drying flowers and herbs, an extensive collection of apothecary plants… etc… but haven’t found a category that it will hit in. Overall, I love Arch and am enjoying it, with some additions and tweaks it could be really great.

Would you please offer an “Entry way” feature ? Thanks so much. I love Arch!!!

This is an OK app it’s fun to play with, I wouldn’t pay for it. It gives you slight ideas but nothing too Wow you

At times, it our budget will not allow for us to change certain things. There should be a list of constraints (ex. Keep all walls, keep windows, eliminate dead space, keep load bearing walls, keep color scheme) that the ai generated photo should conform to. Also, there should be a list of problems to overcome. For instance, I have a semi open floor plan because I removed one wall, but still have a partial wall. I got Arch to overcome this conundrum, but am not able to point the AI in the right direction, to meet my specific need. Great start and best of luck 😎

Arch is nice but unfortunately doesn’t have a lot of features. After using it a couple times it gets boring of the same styles. I wish they will add more styles and colors. Like we can choose which colors are our favorites. Or they don’t have “closet” room to choose, or basement.

You upload your picture but Arch generates photo ideas with another living room totally different to yours. And it is basically just bring up a picture of a modern or farmhouse living room; not ideas on your space! Not worth the money at all. It just made me spend $7 unnecessary. I have asked to cancel my subscription and no help

I just purchased Arch because of the great reviews. Unfortunately, I didn’t experience what was shared.

I took a photo of my living room and selected several different themes, yet not one of them were anything like my floorplan. To me, because the suggestions share zero similarities, I can go on any other free platform for the same outcome

I think this is a great idea.

I see Arch simply taking the images and generating using predefined options. It’s better if you allow the user to enter some context ex: regarding what they are expecting on the wall image that they uploaded.

Should be more helpful

Please don’t charge .I had removed from my phone

First, I had to pay $6.99 to use this. I took a picture of the room and the designs were ridiculous! All it did was change the color and material of my exiting furniture and made the windows tv screens or speakers. Just silly! This is complete crap.

BUYER BEWARE. I requested my subscription be canceled within the free trial 3 days since Arch had very limited ideas for my spaces. Even though I cancelled, I was charged $3.99 after day 3. I requested again. And again. Nothing. It says it renews again on January 9th.

I signed up for trial subscription with the highest membership they offer. Unfortunately it’s limited. It does not allow for spaces such as hallways, laundry rooms, walk-in closets or stair landings. immediately I went to cancel that membership since those are the items I needed and Arch doesn’t offer them. There was no option to cancel except to request cancellation by opening a request ticket. I sent the message immediately. Two months later I’m still waiting for a reply or for my membership to be canceled. I am still getting charge and I have now sent a second message requesting the cancellation. I will update this review once somebody answers or my membership gets canceled as I’ve requested a couple times already. If I had known cancellations were so complicated/ impossible, I would’ve never signed up for a trial.

Can I get premium if you let me you will get 100 good reviews from different people

I tried the FREE TRIAL. Tried one night, DIDNT like it. When I when to cancel the membership, it doesn’t let you cancel. You have to send “a ticket” and request them to cancel. I did that, they never replied back to me confirming the cancellation and PROCEED TO CHARGE MY CREDIT CARD. I still haven’t heard back and it’s been a week

If you’re looking to virtually add furniture to a photo, this isn’t it. This is 100% AI and has nothing to do with your photo. It will create unrecognizable images that will include changing the structure/architecture to the photos you submit. I will be listing my home soon and have photos of empty rooms. I wanted to stage it virtually. Instead, I am getting such random images created that look nothing like the actual rooms of my home. I completely wasted $39. I’ve had Arch for 5 mins. If anything, I’d like a refund. 😑

I tried to cancel during the 3 day free trial and they issued “a ticket” and didn’t send a resolution to my ticket for over 24 hours, then saying I need to cancel through Arch Store, not them. And they charged me for a week at $4.99/week, which is a ridiculous price for Arch. Arch doesn’t show different furniture or art arrangements, and it moved my fireplace entirely. It really just shows different color schemes.

Once you upload a photo, all it allows you to do is show that is where your furniture is going to be placed. He does not like you to change colors or anything for that matter. You have the same results if you were to Google or check Pinterest. But it would save you $20 in a lot of headache.

Maybe a free trial option even for like a day, so we can at least see if paying for the upgrade is worth it before spending the money

I am picturing you letting Arch have access to making a picture move or fade

Arch does fairly well with bedrooms and living rooms, but not so much with kitchens and bathrooms. It does not seem to understand that you cannot add doors and windows. It does it sometimes with bedrooms as well, but mostly with kitchens and bathrooms. In the kitchen, it tries to move the stove and sink. I guess it doesn’t understand that those are fixed items. Also, there are not a whole lot of choices.

I didn’t get a chance to explore Arch when it forced me to either give it a thumbs up or thumbs down. Literally not even 30 seconds into Arch . Rated high probably because of this tactic. Once I got a chance to use app I realized that it does not do what TikTok advertised it to do. It does not take your furniture and rearrange it. It just takes your room (best it goes) and gives ideas on styles you could do which would require a total makeover for your home. 🤦🏻‍♀️

When a room is given to Arch , it shouldn’t change the location or design of fixed architectural features such as doors, windows, openings etc. At least it has to have an option for whether we want the skeleton of the design to change or just decorate it considering existing architectural features.

Arch is super cool but it assumes I want to change a space completely. I am looking to add to my existing space, not get rid of everything I own. Especially with the bathroom it keeps moving my tub and toilet to new locations when I need them to stay in the same place

Download Arch , looking to work on my house re-decor. Unfortunately non of the recommendations work for us, so decided to cancel it. Submit a request before the charge, the response has been very slow and I got charge. I’m now trying to cancel this subscription and it’s been impossible. Very bad experience

Is it possible to lock certain things you like about a generated idea and change others?
Or when you post a photo to pin where you would like things for example if have a room with a window, I wanted the window to remain as is and place a pin for two chairs and a coffee table in front of the window

So this is nothing more than an AI generator and doesn’t even use the room you upload. It will generally stay within relative corner or specs it picks up form your photo but it generates an entirely new image and even embellishes items and changes that wouldn’t even be possible in real life.
Nothing has a reference or purchase point so you have no idea how to consider items for purchase that it presents and then they try to push for installing their other apps - all very scammy.

I decided to try this out for a week I canceled my subscription, right after I paid for a week, because I forget at the end of my sub period to cancel my subscriptions thus paying for more than I need.

I still have seven days to use the service ever since I hit the cancel button I cannot use or see anything.

If you fix the situation, I will leave you a better review. Right now I have paid for a week and I can’t even use Arch .

Arch mentions you get three initial credits. Once used you have to wait until the following day for the credits to reload, I waited several days and they do not, You get the three initial credits and have to pay after that, Misleading and I don’t like that, if you are open to paying, at least from what I saw from the three credits, it is fun to see what is generated and I was happy with that,

Thank you for creating this fun and interactive app for home design.
One thing is missing is hallway with wall decors. Please add it to next update

Arch was a lot of fun and helped my partner and I get creative in planning our space. We did notice though that each time we wanted to experiment with different themes of decor we were forced to take a brand new photo due to Arch not saving it the first time. This is a feature I think would improve the user experience. Each photo taken in Arch should have the ability to autosave to your device for future use.

Arch generates beautiful ideas but completely changes the architecture of the space. For example, we have a wood burning stove that we wouldn’t move and you can’t add stairs to this space. We’re looking for configuration and design based on the space we have now. It doesn’t give you an option to not move significant elements of the room. In fact, no options outside of style choices. Take a photo, choose your style, that’s about it. Was hoping for more.

Arch works great, I would improve it by suggesting a change of furniture placement instead of just keeping the furniture placement from the original picture.

Add some Feng Shui to the design. It would help design the space differently depending on each user.

Need to be able to zoom into pictures. Rotate would be nice too
Would be nice to select the colors on the picture to see what they are
Include the style that was used to create the image

Arch just takes your photo and changes the whole architecture and space. It added a 10 ft window to a wall. Sure I’ll redesign my room buy installing a whole window that looks over a city. When it says it’ll redesign your space, it actually makes a completely different room, space, etc. don’t buy into it. Not worth it. Total scam.

Designs are extreme and only really useful if you are going to completely rework the whole room. It has no options for telling it what colors you want to keep or change, if you are keeping flooring or current furniture, lighting fixtures or even to tell it what parts of the room you are wanting to change. It needs follow up prompts so you can keep dialing it in, not just a regenerate button that completely changes everything again. Also not a very good rendering lots of times, furniture out of proportion or weird fixtures on the wall that aren’t perceivable. If these things get addressed, it will be an amazing tool but at the moment it basically gives you random elements and room designs that you can see how things might work together, but you can browse Pinterest for that for free.

Arch gives you pre-generated ideas (some of which are really great like Zen, French Country, Soho, Rustic and many many more) OR you can create your own requests via prompts (descriptive words, separated by commas)!and the results are truly impressive. Through Arch we’ve designed our dream house and have very doable ideas to now share with our contractor.

It doesn't make a real room. It's like generating an image, or like a sci-fi imaginary it doesn't generate actual furniture. It makes like make believe things like. Floor to your room or it adds stairs or something it doesn't keep your eye on the same it modifies your room I do not recommend doing Arch see other. Three out of 10 stars.

It would be helpful if there was a feature that allowed you to purchase the items shown in the AI generated screen / where to find similar items that price compare. Thank you!

Turning a closet space into a window is too excessive in real estate staging. Anyway to tone down the creativity to be more realistic? Or a selection to tell AI not to be so creative? The exported images are very low res 882x661 pixels not enough for any professional application. The artifacts are so bad that the images cannot be used professionally. Sorry, I tried many times with Arch rendering real estate pictures but the results are totally useless to use in virtual staging applications. Is the algorithm going to get better?

I think with the ideas generated they should
Give options to where to purchase the items as well size, price colors etc

It would be great if Arch could also have links to purchase the items. And if you can your budget, and how much you want to change, maybe just the furniture for example

Not what I was expecting, but also… somehow quite inspirational and helpful? Only hope that in future updates there will be the option for the user to further customize after an image has been rendered. Also an option to highlight sections of an uploaded image that must remain unchanged before you hit generate. In other words maybe a tool to highlight windows, doors, counters, walls, floors or other furniture to indicate it cannot be removed or significantly altered.

I am having a blast I’ve done my house, my aunts house, my cousins house… But I would like to redo my house! I was wondering if at any point in this year will you be updating or changing the variety of designs? That would be so awesome if you did that! Possibly some toned down version as well 🤗maybe some type of middle-class adventures L O L 😊

I really wanted to love Arch but its very limited on what it’s able to do. I am looking for ideas on colors, decorations, furniture, etc. The “result” is a random window on another wall, a hallway that appears out of nowhere, or a fireplace. If you’re looking to knock down walls and start from scratch, this is perfect for you. If you want a visual on what YOUR space will look like with different colors and/or design ideas, this isn’t it. It’s fun but I sincerely wanted some fresh ideas on paint colors and designs.

I just got the pro subscription after playing with it for a day and I absolutely love it! You can customize your request and see what it generates for you. If you are looking for some design ideas or want to learn more about your personal design style this is a great app to explore!

Arch is amazing it would be 5 stars+ if it wasn’t for the one issue, I used another app that I thought was way ahead of others with remodel ai, but this may even be better with generations. Both are great. The only issue I have with this one, is sometimes when I go to upload a photo from my camera roll, sometimes it will load and sometimes it won’t, they both will be the same file type and everything, when I click the photo it will just bring me to the next screen and nothing will be there.

Arch is great to provide design ideas quickly and revision your space. My only request would be to provide a 360 degree view of the room, along with dimensions. I would also like to be able to remove certain items from the room by clicking on them or highlighting what you want changed. Finally, links to furniture and designers would be helpful.

I tried it. It doesn’t have current and relevant styles like transitional, Scandinavian, contemporary, etc. Rather it had chocolate, which shows your room with chocolate overflowing like Willy Wonka Factory.

Also, the styles seem to repeat a lot and are to the extreme, and you can’t really edit it to be less. So let’s say you choose industrial bathroom, then literally it has brick along everywhere, etc. it doesn’t incorporate the style, but just puts a photo of an extremely industrial bathroom onto your bathroom.

Also, I was doing my living room. I asked for it to add two chairs and it seemed incapable of doing that.

Unfortunately, I bought it for a year. But I wouldn’t again. I would recommend trying it for a week before you commit to a year.

Arch does not know common basic decorating styles like Scandinavian, vintage or eclectic.
Also My home is a tri-level and Arch does not know what to do with multiple layered rooms. It turns lofts into solid walls and while creating new doors or alcoves where their was none. Another frustrating deficit is it won’t recognize current color prompts. I was hoping to use it as a color visualizer and it’s terrible at that.

Doesn’t work with space you have- changes ceilings, windows, built-ins, etc. I can’t believe this has a high rating overall. Not a lot of style selections and when I chose gothic I literally was given a plain room with cathedral walls 🫠. Generated images aren’t customizable either…you can’t save parts and change others or incorporate your own furniture pieces. Save your time and money and use Pinterest or google for inspiration. Ultimate disappointment

The decorations generated on the photos uploaded leaves no option to change some details such as the colors applied. Sometimes the choice of furniture and esthetic items are good, but the colors aren’t. For the most part, the colors don’t even match with the style you chose to be applied. For example, when I chose the “Zen” style, represented on Arch by bright colors and a clean distribution of elements, Arch generated applied decoration that was rather on the dark gray scale of colors. It would be a game changer if instead of asking Arch to fully generate again another option we could custom the imagem proposed by changing some details. It’s a crucial tool to have because each person has its particularities and its own desire of creation. I waisted a lot of time regeneration the images and Arch would not provide a satisfactory solution, so I would go and chose a diferente style, Farm, Bohemian, Minimalist, Modern… and nothing was quite what I was trying to get to… simply because I can’t change any feature on the image presented. Very frustrating.

So I read the reviews and was excited to start using Arch. To my huge disappointment I will have a room I upload and will pick the room it is, I will then either type in specific instructions or pick one of their styles already listed. Then I’ll generate and will get the weirdest designs ever… I’ll upload an exterior and it will give me some kind of interior room that has nothing to do with what I submitted. So then I thought I’m missing something and submitted a request for help. Though I was answered quickly, I received no help… I want the rooms I submit to at least resemble the original. I don’t want a bunch of changes that would cost thousands of dollars to make…maybe this isn’t what Arch is for… anyway I paid for a whole year. So yeah it was a complete waste of money.

Only 3 credits to begin, hardly enough to even learn the software and create a useful image. Better used for picturesque eye candy than as an aid for room design. Results (even with a supplied photo!) Are far beyond the scope of what is reasonable or even resembles the image I had provided. There are better free tools out there for this same purpose, I had great luck with the Renovate AI web application. Why would I pay to use your software when the first “trial” results are a waste of time and resources?

Upload a photo, choose a style. No text for refining the search, which makes it rather difficult to instruct the software what tor ender.

I’d recommend a different piece of software.

I love how easy it is to use, but it would be great if you were able to edit your results. From the floor to the ceiling and every space in between a design feature was put in. Maybe if you could chose how much of a change you want like how you would use opacity in photo editing. Maybe even down the road you can take a 360 view of the space and get a view of the design from all perspectives. The technology exists. Add square footage information so it can suggest ideal furniture layout and how light should be layered. Maybe there’s already an app that does all this and I just haven’t found it

So I downloaded Arch thinking there was a trial. I can see how this would work if the house was empty, but our house has a lot of new walls and we want to turn them down for the new renovation so Arch cannot adjust that.
So I went to my billing to cancel and you can’t cancel it without sending a ticket. It’s been a week and I haven’t heard a thing and they had already charged me a four years worth. Now I have to do a charge back on my credit card because they do not answer.

Arch is mind blowing! So many ideas…I can’t WAIT to do this to all spaces I come across. So far the drawbacks are that there wasn’t a generating option for laundry rooms & movie rooms. The “other” selection is probably supposed to help in those situations but it didn’t. Also the most disappointing factor is that there is a daily limit to how many generated pictures can be created…Awwww Man!!! WHY???

Arch is really cool. It gives you all types of ideas that you may not have thought of that could really fit into your space. It actually alters your existing furniture/cabinets/appliances and makes it look legit! However, after applying different styles and generating an image, it would be an unmatched improvement to be able to alter specific parts of that image such as selecting a different appliance or choosing a different color floor to get a style that is EXACTLY what you are looking for.

1 photo per room doesn’t given enough definition to the AI generated content. A 360 degree video would be much more helpful in this context.
Too many non-practical or impossible suggestions, like random windows. The AI rendering suggest that a window can be added as an esthetic touch, regardless if the wall is even facing outside.
While this may work better down the road, just not enough true functionality to be worth the cost of $5 per week at this time.

The images generated are a good starting point, however, you aren’t able to customize furniture, colors, textures after the image is generated. You also pay for Arch which says you can generate “unlimited” images, however, there is in fact a daily limit of what I would estimate to be 20-30, which is false advertising. I have reached out to customer service about this as my app explicitly says unlimited and they confirmed that there is in fact a limit.
