MeltFlex is an AI-powered room design tool. Upload a photo of any room — empty or furnished — and AI instantly redesigns it with real furniture from IKEA, Amazon, Wayfair, Pottery Barn, and Ashley Furniture. Compare prices across stores and buy the cheapest option directly. Try it free.
Is MeltFlex free to use?
Yes. MeltFlex offers a free tier to upload room photos and get AI-generated designs with real, purchasable furniture. No credit card required. Premium plans start at €7.99/month for more generations, no watermarks, and additional features.
What is AI interior design?
AI interior design uses artificial intelligence to redesign rooms from photos. Upload a photo of your room, choose a style, and get a photorealistic image showing real furniture from top brands — all in seconds, without hiring a professional designer.
How does AI room redesign work?
Upload a photo of any room. Choose a design style (modern, Scandinavian, minimalist, Japandi, and 25+ more) or describe what you want. The AI generates a photorealistic image of your room redesigned with real furniture from IKEA, Amazon, and Wayfair — preserving your room's walls, windows, and architecture. Results in 10-30 seconds.
Can I see how furniture looks in my room before buying?
Yes. Upload a photo of your room and MeltFlex shows you exactly how real furniture looks in your space. Every piece shown is a real product with real pricing. You see the actual product at the actual scale in your actual room before you spend anything. See our comparison of furniture visualization tools.
What types of images does MeltFlex accept?
MeltFlex accepts any room photo — living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, offices, dining rooms, nurseries, and outdoor spaces. Any smartphone camera works. JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC formats are supported. Empty rooms, furnished rooms, and partially decorated rooms all work.
What is the best free AI interior design tool?
MeltFlex is the only AI interior design tool that combines room photo redesign, real furniture from IKEA, Amazon, and Wayfair, price comparison across stores, and direct purchasing — all in one platform. Upload a photo, get a design with real products, and buy everything at the best price.
Furniture & Shopping
Can I buy the furniture shown in my AI design?
Yes. Every piece of furniture in MeltFlex is a real product with real pricing. You can compare prices across IKEA, Amazon, Wayfair, Pottery Barn, and Ashley Furniture — then buy from whichever store has the best price. What you see in the render is exactly what gets delivered to your door.
How does MeltFlex help me find the cheapest furniture?
When MeltFlex places furniture in your room, it shows you the same piece (or similar alternatives) across multiple stores. You can instantly compare prices between IKEA, Amazon, Wayfair, and others — so you always get the best deal without spending hours searching.
What furniture brands are available?
MeltFlex features real furniture from IKEA, Amazon, Wayfair, Pottery Barn, and Ashley Furniture. The catalog includes sofas, beds, dining tables, desks, shelving, lighting, rugs, and accessories — all with real prices and dimensions.
Are the furniture prices accurate?
Yes. Prices are pulled directly from retailer websites and updated regularly. When you click to buy, you're taken to the retailer's product page where you can verify the price and purchase directly.
Can I set a budget for my room design?
Yes. You can specify a budget (e.g. "furnish this living room under $2,000") and MeltFlex will suggest furniture combinations that fit within your price range while still looking great.
AI Photo Generation & Virtual Staging
How do I generate an AI room design?
Upload a room photo on the create page, type a description of what you want (e.g. "modern Scandinavian living room under $3,000"), and the AI generates a photorealistic redesign with real furniture in seconds.
How realistic are the AI renders?
MeltFlex uses the latest AI image generation models to produce photorealistic results. The AI preserves your room's walls, windows, doors, and lighting while adding new furniture and decor. Most renders are indistinguishable from professional interior photography.
How many design styles can I try?
MeltFlex offers 25+ design styles including Modern, Scandinavian, Japandi, Mid-Century Modern, Industrial, Farmhouse, Coastal, Minimalist, Bohemian, Art Deco, and more. Upload one photo and try every style — each with real, purchasable furniture from top brands.
What is AI virtual staging?
AI virtual staging takes a photo of an empty room and fills it with photorealistic real furniture in seconds. Real estate agents use it to stage vacant listings at a fraction of the cost of physical staging ($1,000-$3,500 per room vs. free with MeltFlex). Learn more about virtual staging.
Can I use AI-staged photos for real estate listings?
Yes. Virtually staged photos are widely used in real estate. Staged homes sell 87% faster and for up to 17% more. Most MLS rules require disclosure that photos are virtually staged — add a "Virtually Staged" caption to comply. See our virtual staging comparison.
What is the watermark on my generated images?
Free tier images include a subtle MeltFlex watermark. Subscribe to any paid plan to remove watermarks and get clean, high-resolution images suitable for listings, presentations, and social media.
Subscription & Credits
What subscription plans are available?
MeltFlex offers Starter (€7.99/mo), Standard (€20/mo), Pro (€40/mo), and Mega (€90/mo) plans. Enterprise plans are available for agencies and teams. All plans include monthly credits, no watermarks, and project storage. Compare plans.
How do credits work?
Credits are used for AI generations. You receive a monthly credit allowance based on your plan (e.g. Standard = 650 credits/month). Each photo generation costs 10 credits. Credits refresh monthly and unused credits do not roll over.
Can I change or cancel my subscription?
Yes. To cancel your subscription: open the sidebar menu, tap Settings, tap "Edit Profile", tap "Manage" next to your subscription plan, then tap "Cancel subscription". Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period — you keep full access until then. No further charges will be made.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Link (by Stripe). Payments are processed securely through Stripe. Pricing adapts to your local currency automatically.
Do I get a refund if I cancel?
Subscriptions are billed monthly. When you cancel, you retain access for the remainder of your billing period. We do not offer partial refunds for unused time. See our refund policy for details.
What happens when I run out of credits?
When your credits run out, you can wait for your monthly refresh or upgrade to a higher plan for more credits. You can still browse your saved projects and designs — you just cannot generate new AI images until credits are available.
Account & Projects
Do I need an account to use MeltFlex?
You can try one free AI generation without an account. To save projects, access your design history, and get monthly credits, create a free account with Google sign-in or email.
How do I save my designs?
Once logged in, your designs are automatically saved to your account. You can access them anytime from your projects dashboard. Each plan includes a different number of saved projects.
Can I download my AI-generated images?
Yes. You can download generated images directly from the workspace. Paid subscribers get clean images without watermarks. Free tier images include a watermark.
How do I delete my account?
Go to Settings and click "Delete Account." This permanently removes your account, projects, and all generated images. This action cannot be undone.
