A render is not
a design.
Every brief returns a photorealistic render plus a buildable, standards-checked design spec — dimensions, materials, lighting — and an AI judge that scores the image and re-renders it until it passes. Not just a pretty picture: a design with proof.
In beta. The product works and every design you make is yours to keep. Pricing and the free tier are still settling, and expert validation with practising designers is under way.

How it works
Your brief goes through a design review — before you ever see it.
Aether Design AI is an AI interior design tool that turns a written brief into a photorealistic room render and a measured design specification. You describe the space in one sentence; it drafts the spec, renders the room, scores the result against your brief, and re-renders until it measures up. A design takes roughly 30 to 60 seconds.
Describe the space
A sentence is enough — “a moody mid-century living room with a stone fireplace.” Pick a style; premium quality if you want the stronger design brain.
The spec is drafted
Claude writes a buildable specification grounded in real standards — dimensions with their source (Neufert, ADA), materials, lighting plan, and your brand rules as law.
The room is rendered
FLUX.2 paints the space photorealistically, guided by the brief and the brand book — not a generic prompt.
Judged & self-corrected
A second AI scores the render against the spec. Below 82? It rewrites the prompt to fix the exact faults and re-renders — up to 3 attempts, best one wins.
Two different AIs — the one that paints never grades its own homework; a separate one judges.

Real renders. Real specs behind each one.
What you get
Everything a picture can’t give you.
The difference from a normal AI image generator is that the picture is not the deliverable. Midjourney, DALL·E and Stable Diffusion return an image and stop; Aether Design AI returns the image plus the reasoning behind it — dimensions, materials, a lighting plan, and pass/warning/fail checks against published spatial standards. A separate AI model, which never sees the image being made, scores every render against the brief and sends it back to be fixed if it falls short.
A buildable spec, not just pixels
Dimensions anchored to published standards, a materials schedule, a lighting plan, and an honest pass/warning/fail critique across seven design categories — with an overall compliance score.
Brand-lock
Your brand book is law. Rules like “no polished metal” constrain both the image and the critique — a violation caps the score. Compliance becomes auditable.
The self-correction loop
Render → judge → fix the exact faults → re-render. In our controlled study, blind resampling barely helped (+1.2); intelligent correction added +20.6.
Watch it think — keep every attempt
The correction journey streams live: each attempt appears with its accuracy as it’s judged, and every render is kept for side-by-side comparison — not just the winner.
Pricing
Pay per design, not per month.
Aether Design AI costs from ₹179 for 100 tokens, with no subscription and no monthly fee. A standard design costs 10 tokens per image rendered and a premium design 20, so a typical design works out at roughly ₹18 to ₹54 depending on how many attempts it takes to hit the quality bar. New accounts get free tokens, tokens never expire, and you are only charged for designs that are actually delivered.
Tokens are spent per image actually rendered — standard designs cost 10 tokens per image, premium (Opus-powered specs) 20.

About
Built on one conviction: verification first, rendering last.
AI image tools optimise for how a room looks. AetherDesign was built end-to-end — the design engine, the self-correction loop, the deployed product — around whether a room would actually work: can you walk through it, is the counter at a usable height, does the lighting match the mood, does it obey the client’s brand?
The claim is measured, not asserted: in a 48-render controlled study, self-correction — not extra sampling — accounted for the entire quality gain, and blind expert validation with practising designers is underway.
“A system that grades its own homework proves nothing — so ours doesn’t.”
The model that paints the room never scores it. An independent AI judge — grounded in Neufert, Panero & Zelnik, ADA and IES/CIBSE standards — does, and its verdicts are being calibrated against human designers.
Each links to the source it checks against.
Standards
The checks come from published sources, not from vibes.
When the critique says a walkway is too narrow or a room is under-lit, it is measuring against reference works the profession already uses. These are the sources behind the dimensions, clearances and lighting levels in every specification.
Ernst Neufert, Architects’ Data — room sizes, clearances and circulation
Checks · Room dimensions, circulation widths and clearances
Julius Panero & Martin Zelnik, Human Dimension & Interior Space — anthropometrics
Checks · Anthropometrics — seat depths, reach ranges, table heights
Francis D. K. Ching, Architecture: Form, Space & Order — composition
Checks · Spatial composition, proportion and focal hierarchy

Checks · Accessible clearances, turning space and reach ranges
Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers — lighting guidance
Checks · Illuminance levels and lighting quality

Standards are applied as design guidance, not as certification. Aether Design AI produces schematic design intent — see the Terms & Conditions for what that does and does not cover.
FAQ
The questions we get asked first.
How is this different from Midjourney or an AI image generator?
An image generator returns a picture and stops. AetherDesign returns the render plus a written specification behind it — the dimensions, the materials and finishes, the lighting plan, and a list of checks against published spatial standards. A picture tells you how a room looks; the specification tells you whether it would work if someone built it.
What exactly do I get for one design?
A photorealistic render, a buildable specification listing dimensions and materials, a compliance score across ergonomics, spatial program, colour, lighting, style and composition, and the full trace of how the design was reached — including every render attempt and the reason each one was accepted or rejected. The specification can be printed or saved as a PDF.
Do I need to be an interior designer to use it?
No. You describe the space in plain language — the room, the mood, the materials you like — and pick a style. The design reasoning, the standards checking and the corrections happen on our side. Designers get more out of it, because the specification is written in terms they already work in.
Why does one design sometimes render more than one image?
Because the first render often misses something. Every image is scored against your brief, the specification and any brand rules by a separate AI judge that never saw the image being made. If it falls short, the instructions are rewritten to fix the specific fault and the room is rendered again, up to three times. You keep every attempt and can compare them.
How accurate is it, honestly?
In a 48-render controlled study across twelve briefs, adding the self-correction loop raised mean visual accuracy from 50.4% to 71.0%. Rendering extra images without the critique was worth almost nothing by comparison — about one point. Those scores come from our own AI judge, so blind ratings by practising interior designers are being collected separately; that is the number we will stand behind.
Can I use the designs for client work?
Yes. Renders and specifications you generate are yours to use commercially, including in client presentations and mood boards. Treat the specification as design intent for a schematic stage, not as a construction, structural or services drawing — it is not a substitute for a licensed architect or engineer.
Is there a subscription?
No. You buy a pack of tokens and spend them when you generate. Nothing renews on its own and nothing expires monthly. New accounts get free tokens to try the product before paying anything.
Ready to design with proof?
Your first designs are free. See the spec, watch the judge work, keep every render.
