Styles
Room ideas by style
The 13 styles RAYA's render tab offers, each with the three-colour set its card shows in the app, then three sample rooms you can open and edit piece by piece. The room pictures on this page are AI renders made from models in the app, and each one sits next to the model it came from.
13 styles
Each style, and what it wears
A style's name says little. What makes a room one style or another is its materials, its colours and the shape of its furniture. The strip beside each name holds the three colours the style's card uses in the app.
In the app you pick the style in the render tab; if you don't, it uses Japandi.
Contemporary luxury, neoclassic, Art Deco, hotel luxury and contemporary classic send the AI a fuller description of their materials than the others, because given only a style name, renders tend to come out as pale wood and bare walls.
Modern minimal Modern minimal
White, grey and near-black, smooth surfaces with no pattern, as little as possible on the counters. Built-ins usually hide their handles.
Japandi Japandi
Japanese meets Scandinavian: light to dark-brown wood, linen, low furniture, a room that is open without feeling cold.
Muji Muji
One step plainer than Japandi: light wood and cream cotton, and every piece has to earn its place.
Scandinavian Scandinavian
White walls, ash or light oak, as much daylight as the room will take. The app's colour set adds one blue-grey.
Contemporary luxury Contemporary luxury
Symmetry, curtains from floor to ceiling, large marble slabs, dark wood or gloss lacquer, slim metal inlays and lights that are pieces in their own right. The whole room should look made to order.
Neoclassic Neoclassic
Painted wall mouldings, stepped cornices, framed doorways, herringbone wood or polished stone floors, full-height pleated curtains and crystal lights. The ornament stays crisp and architectural, never baroque.
Art Deco Art Deco
Geometric wall panels, dark gloss wood, black marble, polished steel with brass, fluted glass, and dark velvet used sparingly.
Hotel luxury Hotel luxury
Sheer curtains over blackout ones, padded wall panels, large rugs, dark veneer and warm 2700–3000K cove light.
Industrial loft Industrial loft
Bare concrete walls, exposed brick, black steel and smoked wood, in greys running down to almost black.
Tropical modern Tropical modern
Wood, slats, plants indoors and openings that let the breeze through. Leaf green and wood brown are the two main colours of its set.
Contemporary classic Contemporary classic
Restrained mouldings, framed wall panels, cornices, herringbone wood, natural stone and tailored curtains: classic with the extra ornament taken off, to suit a home today.
Wabi-sabi Wabi-sabi
Hand-trowelled walls, terracotta, old wood; the uneven surface is the point. All three colours in its set are brownish greys.
Mid-century modern Mid-century modern
Slim-legged furniture, teak, burnt orange with deep teal.
Try first
One room, tried in several styles
Can't decide yet? Try it on a real room first. These three pictures come from the clay of one living room, seen from the same camera. The TV cabinet and the window stay where they are; the materials, colours and light change.
In the app, press "Compare 3 styles" in the render tab. It renders the style you chose and two others from the clay of the same view, lets the AI pick the materials for each style, and charges the same as three renders.
Sample room
A French vintage condo living room
A 25 m² living room with a 2.70 m ceiling and a cornice all round, a walnut herringbone floor, a ticking-stripe sofa with rolled arms, black leather chairs with brass nailheads, a faded Persian-style rug, an arched black iron mirror and wooden blinds.
The laundry recess closes behind louvred bi-fold doors in slate blue and is tiled floor to ceiling in white vertical subway tiles. In the app this room is set to contemporary classic and rendered from the model with its materials, so the render keeps the materials placed in it.
Sample room
A terracotta bathroom: warm in colour, crisp in line
A 5.9 m² master bathroom. The walls are 75 × 300 mm glazed tiles laid vertically in a straight stack: terracotta red up to 1.2 m, a slim black trim on the line, cream above to the ceiling. The floor is encaustic cement tile with a petal pattern.
A brass rain shower stands on a terracotta panel framed in black steel, with a butter-yellow toilet, a wall-hung black fluted vanity with a brass tap, and an arched black-framed mirror. In the app this room is set to contemporary classic, like the first.
Sample room
A dark bedroom with a walk-in closet
Bedroom and walk-in together come to 37 m². The bed wall is dark walnut set out as a deep grid of seven modules, the headboard is upholstered in a brown-and-gold marble-print velvet, and the low bed wears a mink velvet coverlet. Black fluted bedside tables carry bronze mushroom lamps, a moss bouclé bench sits at the foot, and the floor is honey oak herringbone.
The walk-in has drawers under a brown marble top and a clothes rail hung from the ceiling. In the app this room is set to contemporary luxury, dark tone.
All three rooms are in the app: in the "Choose a room" tab, under "Sample plans", tap one and edit any piece. For more on arranging a room, see Design your own home
FAQ
Questions about style
- How many interior design styles are there?
- There is no fixed number; every designer groups them differently. This page covers the 13 that RAYA's render tab offers, from modern minimal, Japandi and Muji to hotel luxury and mid-century modern.
- How do I decorate a room without clutter?
- Designers often use the 60-30-10 rule: a main colour on about 60% (walls and large surfaces), a second colour on 30% (upholstery and curtains), an accent on 10% (decor), and no more than 3–5 main materials in a room. It is a rule of thumb, not a law.
- Does changing the style change the plan?
- No. The style only affects the renders; the plan, furniture sizes, construction drawings and BOQ stay as they are. If the starting picture is the model with its materials, the render keeps the materials you chose; if it is clay, the AI picks materials to suit the style.
- How many credits does a render use?
- A Standard render uses 5 credits and a High render 15. Compare 3 styles counts as three renders. If a render fails, credits come back as § 5 of the Terms sets out.
- How close are the renders to the real room?
- Renders are made from the model you arranged and are for mood, colour and materials. Small details may not match the model everywhere; for real sizes and positions, go by the plan and the drawings.
