How Livspace Designers Turn a Bare Apartment Photo Into a First Design Concept
September 29, 20267 min read
A new apartment handed over as bare walls and a concrete floor is the start of most Livspace projects. The homeowner knows roughly what they want: a modular kitchen, wardrobes in every bedroom, a living room that feels like theirs. What they have not seen is their own apartment finished. Livspace, one of the largest home interiors platforms in Asia, has designers using MeltFlex AI for that first moment: a design concept shown on a photo of the client’s real space, before the detailed design begins.
This piece looks at where AI fits a home interiors business at Livspace’s scale. The company facts come from Livspace’s own site and its public filings as reported by Entrackr. We do not publish customers’ internal data, so there are no invented results here.
At a glance
- Client: Livspace, founded in 2014 in Bengaluru, with 100,000+ homes delivered and 2,000+ designers across India and Singapore.
- The context: end-to-end interiors, from design to modular kitchens, wardrobes and full-home execution.
- What MeltFlex does: shows a first concept on a photo of the client’s bare or dated space in about twenty seconds.
- Where it fits: the consultation, before the detailed design and production drawings.
Who Livspace is
Livspace was founded in 2014 in Bengaluru by Anuj Srivastava and Ramakant Sharma. Ramakant Sharma became CEO in 2025, with Anuj Srivastava as chairman. The company designs and builds home interiors end to end: modular kitchens and wardrobes, full-home interiors including civil, electrical, painting and flooring work, across a luxury range and a value range. By its own count it has delivered more than 100,000 homes with over 2,000 designers in more than 100 cities across India and Singapore.
In FY25 Livspace reported operating revenue of ₹1,460 crore, up 23 percent, with interior projects making up almost all of it. It is backed by investors including KKR and Ingka Investments, part of the IKEA group. In February 2026 it announced a restructuring to become an AI-native organisation, with AI tools across sales, design and operations.
The first concept is where projects are won
A home interiors project is a large, one-time purchase for most families, and the decision to go ahead usually happens early, at the consultation. That is also the point where the client has the least to look at. Portfolio photos show other people’s homes. Detailed 3D designs come after booking, because they take a designer real time to produce.
What moves a client at that stage is seeing their own space transformed. An empty living room with the builder’s tiles and bare bulbs, shown furnished in the style they described five minutes ago, makes the project concrete in a way no brochure can.
How Livspace designers use MeltFlex
- Bare room to designed room. AI interior design furnishes a photo of the empty apartment in the chosen style, keeping the real walls, windows and proportions.
- Kitchens and wardrobes. AI kitchen design and AI closet design show the rooms that make up most of a modular interiors project.
- The whole home from a plan. Floor plan to 3D turns the builder’s floor plan into a furnished view, useful before handover when there is nothing to photograph yet.
- Several styles in one meeting. Style transfer renders the same room in several looks in a minute, so the client can choose by pointing rather than describing.
Livspace runs its own AI and 3D tools as well; we are describing where MeltFlex fits for its designers, not Livspace’s internal process or results.
A concept, not a drawing
A MeltFlex image is a picture of an idea. It does not produce measured drawings, modular specifications or production files, and it does not replace the detailed design a project needs before anything is built. What it changes is the first meeting: the client sees their own home finished, and the rest of the project starts from a shared picture.
For other interior design firms
Any interior designer or studio can work this way, from a single photo of a client’s room. Try MeltFlex free on your next consultation. Firms that want their own branded tool or an integration with their systems can look at MeltFlex for business and the MeltFlex API, and teams that need shared credits and seats can see MeltFlex for enterprise.
