Ep 159 - Intro To AI With Guest Leslie Carothers
Join us as we chat with Leslie Carothers, Principal of Savour Partnership, who’s always on top of the latest buzz in the interior design world. In this episode, we are talking all about Artificial Intelligence and how it is, and will be, affecting our jobs as interior designers. Are apps like RoomGPT, MidJourney and Reimagine Home a detriment to the value of the interior designer or can we simply use this new technology to enhance our services?
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
AI will never entirely replace interior designers and the creativity, critical thinking and problem-solving skills we bring to our projects.
If you want to start playing around with AI as it pertains to design, check out MidJourney AI. Leslie has some tutorials on her website.
AI can be a quick and useful tool for ideation when communicating to clients.

As you know we just returned from High Point Furniture Market where we spent a lot of time at Norwalk, one of our go-to brands for quality, custom-made furniture. We conscientiously went through each of the new fabric introductions which the President, Caroline Hipple, is so brilliant at sourcing. Unlike many other manufacturers, they have a particularly fabulous array of patterns and bright, fun fabrics to partner with performance fabrics, leathers, and textures like boucle and velvet. At the end of one of our long days, we curled up on the Neptune sectional with Prosecco and caught up with our friends at Coco & Dash for over an hour. It was so comfortable!
