AI prompts for interior designers.

You are helping an interior designer organize client consultation notes. Create a draft design brief using only the information provided.

Project type and rooms: [PROJECT]
Design stage: [STAGE]
Client notes or transcript:
[PASTE NOTES]

Structure the brief under: project goals, users and routines, functional requirements, aesthetic direction, items to retain, disliked elements, accessibility or wellbeing needs mentioned, budget information provided, programme information provided, decision-makers, known constraints, and open questions.

Separate explicit client requirements from designer interpretations. Do not invent preferences, dimensions, budget, product specifications or deadlines. End with the five most important questions for the next consultation.

Before you use it: Ask the client to confirm the brief before it becomes the basis for design or purchasing decisions.

Create a client discovery questionnaire for an interior design project.

Project type: [RESIDENTIAL / HOSPITALITY / WORKPLACE / OTHER]
Rooms or areas: [SCOPE]
Service level: [CONSULTATION / FULL SERVICE / OTHER]
Information already known: [KNOWN INFORMATION]

Write 20 focused questions grouped into: users and daily routines, functional problems, storage and equipment, comfort and accessibility, existing items, aesthetic preferences, maintenance tolerance, decision-making, budget range, programme, and installation constraints.

Avoid asking for information already supplied. Use plain client language. For subjective questions, ask for a concrete example. Do not provide design advice or imply a product recommendation.

Before you use it: Remove questions that are unnecessary for the service offered and handle personal information according to your privacy policy.

Translate the client lifestyle information below into a draft requirements map for an interior designer.

Household, team or user group: [USERS]
Spaces in scope: [SPACES]
Routines, activities and frustrations:
[PASTE CLIENT INFORMATION]

Create a table with: activity, people involved, frequency, current problem, spatial requirement suggested by the source, storage or equipment mentioned, comfort or privacy need, and question to verify.

Then identify conflicts between activities, peak-use moments and requirements that should be tested through layout options. Do not prescribe dimensions, products or technical solutions. Clearly distinguish client statements from your interpretation.

Before you use it: Confirm interpretations with the client, especially around accessibility, care, work and family routines.

Create a room-by-room interior design requirements schedule from the approved information below.

Project and rooms: [PROJECT / ROOM LIST]
Approved brief, survey notes and client requirements:
[PASTE INFORMATION]

For each room, list: purpose, users, activities, existing items to retain, new item categories requested, storage needs, lighting needs described by the client, privacy or acoustic needs mentioned, technology or equipment, maintenance preferences, dependencies, and open decisions.

Do not invent quantities, dimensions, compliance requirements, brands or specifications. Mark contradictions between sources and list the information needed to resolve each one.

Before you use it: Verify the schedule against the measured survey, current drawings and client sign-off.

Draft an interior design concept narrative from the decisions below.

Project and room: [PROJECT]
Client priorities: [PRIORITIES]
Concept name or central idea: [IDEA]
Approved palette and materials: [PALETTE]
Spatial or functional moves: [MOVES]
Atmosphere and experience: [ATMOSPHERE]

Write a 35-word concept statement, a 160-word client narrative, and five presentation captions. Connect every aesthetic statement to a client priority, spatial quality or practical requirement.

Avoid empty luxury language and unsupported claims about wellbeing, sustainability, durability or performance. Do not introduce products or materials that are not in the approved information.

Before you use it: Check that the narrative describes the current scheme and not an earlier concept direction.

Write a client-facing description of an interior design mood board using the designer's notes below.

Room and project: [DETAILS]
Images, references or elements included: [LIST]
Palette: [COLOURS]
Materials and textures: [MATERIALS]
Key contrasts or relationships: [RELATIONSHIPS]
Client priorities this direction addresses: [PRIORITIES]

Explain the direction through atmosphere, material balance, colour relationships, light and how the space should feel in use. Write one 120-word narrative and six short annotations that can sit beside individual references.

Do not identify an image, product, designer or material origin unless that information was supplied and verified.

Before you use it: Verify credits and product identities separately; visual similarity is not evidence of source or specification.

Prepare a neutral comparison of interior design directions. Do not select a preferred option.

Client priorities and evaluation criteria:
[PASTE AGREED CRITERIA]

Direction A:
[DESCRIPTION]

Direction B:
[DESCRIPTION]

Create a table comparing how each direction responds to function, atmosphere, retained items, maintenance preference, budget information provided, programme information provided, flexibility and any other agreed criteria.

Separate known evidence from assumptions. Identify trade-offs, decisions that require a sample or mock-up, information still needed, and five questions that will help the client choose. Do not estimate cost or performance.

Before you use it: Ensure both directions are described at the same level of detail and cost information comes from verified sources.

Create a presentation script for an interior design client meeting.

Meeting objective: [OBJECTIVE]
Time available: [TIME]
Agreed brief and priorities: [BRIEF]
Material being presented: [MATERIAL]
Decisions needed: [DECISIONS]
Known client concerns: [CONCERNS]

Create a timed sequence with: opening recap, what has changed since the last review, the story of the proposed direction, how each key choice responds to the brief, questions to ask, decisions to record, and closing actions.

For each section provide one concise speaking point and the visual or sample to show. Avoid sales language and do not describe unverified products or performance.

Before you use it: Confirm that samples, drawings and prices referenced in the script are current and available.

Organize the client feedback below into a design review record.

Project and review date: [DETAILS]
Material reviewed: [DRAWINGS / SAMPLES / PROPOSAL]
Feedback notes, emails or transcript:
[PASTE FEEDBACK]

Group the output into: confirmed approvals, requested changes, preferences expressed, questions raised, concerns, contradictions, decisions still required, and actions.

For each item, include the source and affected room or package when stated. Do not interpret enthusiasm as approval. Do not resolve contradictory comments. Draft a short follow-up email that asks the client to confirm only the ambiguous or conflicting items.

Before you use it: Have the designer who attended the review verify approvals and requested changes before work continues.

Create a draft structure for an interior design proposal. This is a writing aid, not legal or commercial advice.

Service level and stages: [SERVICES]
Known deliverables: [DELIVERABLES]
Meetings or site visits discussed: [MEETINGS]
Programme information: [PROGRAMME]
Known purchasing or installation responsibilities: [RESPONSIBILITIES]

Draft: project understanding, scope by phase, deliverables, client inputs, meetings included, sourcing and procurement role, installation role, exclusions, assumptions, revision process, programme dependencies, and commercial fields requiring completion.

Do not invent fees, mark-ups, payment terms, liability wording, warranties or contractual obligations. List unresolved scope questions at the end.

Before you use it: An authorized person should review fees, terms, exclusions, insurance and procurement responsibilities.

Draft a client procurement update from the verified status information below.

Project: [PROJECT]
Status date: [DATE]
Verified order schedule:
[PASTE ITEM / SUPPLIER / STATUS / DATE / ISSUE DATA]

Organize the update into: on track, awaiting client action, supplier action required, delayed or at risk, substitutions under review, and upcoming deliveries or installation dependencies.

For every item state only the latest verified status, source and date. Explain what the status means for the next project action without estimating an unconfirmed delivery date or promising an outcome. End with a short list of decisions needed from the client.

Before you use it: Check every date and status against the latest written supplier confirmation before sending.

Draft a vendor enquiry for an interior design project using the information below.

Project and delivery location: [DETAILS]
