Interior Design Workflows

Architect Chris Simmons on crossing into interior design: what architectural training brings, where the gaps are, and how one tool covers every deliverable.

Build a professional studio portfolio from Rayon's template: cover, images, text styles, live drawing views and brand colours, shared as a live link or PDF.

Build a luxury client presentation from Rayon's template: crop and place images, add a live floor plan view, style text, then export as PDF or share a live link.

Andrea turns an architect's restaurant plan into a furnished layout: bubble diagram for zones, hospitality blocks, floor finishes, then dimensions and annotations.

Four AI tools in Rayon: 3D axo from a 2D plan, render from an elevation, material iteration on images, and graphic style transfer.

Nine Rayon tools for the full interior design workflow, from mood boards, blocks and FF&E data to styles, pages, views and live presentations.

Turn a real client brief (a Paris apartment) into a concept mood board: palette, textures, AI iterations and supplier data, shared as a live link or PDF.

Three AI tools in Rayon that are actually useful for building client presentations, plus a bonus tool for a common design problem.

Andrea's mood board process: start from the concept, curate imagery that conveys emotion, compose the board in Rayon, and add keywords that explain the design intent.

Turn a finished drawing set into a client deck: page structure, grid, live drawing views, mood board and AI-enhanced visuals, published as a live link or PDF.

Andrea takes a restaurant brief to a client-ready presentation in Rayon, combining the mood board and floor plan in one document.

How a barn conversion on England's south-west coast evolved through several floor plan options to the final design proposal.

Turn a vague client brief into a clear feasibility scheme using three AI tools in Rayon.

Modernise a 1980s apartment: demolition drawing, reconfiguring a closed layout into an open plan, and choosing colours and finishes.

From brief to convincing presentation: analyse the brief, write a concept statement, build a spatial diagram and mood board, then share as PDF or live link.

Replace your Excel FF&E schedule: add data to blocks, generate a live table, and place it next to the drawing so it updates with the model.

Build a lighting plan: define the strategy, place fixtures from the block library, locate switches, dimension the layout, add a legend and present it.

Attach product data (manufacturer, cost, lead time) to furniture blocks, then generate filtered FF&E tables that update automatically with the drawing.

Turn a basic millwork DWG into a presented drawing set: clean the import, add blocks, dimensions and tags, set line weights, and place it on a title block.

A test of AI floor plan generation in Rayon: converting archive drawings and sketches into editable plans, then cleaning up, furnishing, styling and annotating the results.
