Each row uses only data from before that month.
Miles explains
6 of 6 in range is honest, not perfect. The biggest miss was May 2026 (+12%), the kind of month when one big site jumps. That’s why the range is wide.
2What is the market doing now?
Visits are about level on a year ago (+1%), and the last three months were about level with the three before. Name searches are down (-54% since October 2025). Recent months are level, yet the forecast expects October 2026 to be up on September 2026, because it averages September 2026 with the months before it, which were higher. The backtest below shows how often this method calls the direction right.
- Visits, September 2026
- 567,891 (-4.8% on the month before, +1.4% on a year ago)
- Last 3 months vs the 3 before
- -0.7%

- 38/100 (-46.5% on a year ago)
- 12-month trend
- +0.1% a month; the forecast carries the level of recent months, not the slope

Miles explains
Big green or red bars are usually one site winning or losing a Google ranking, not the whole market moving. What I watch is the last three months against the three before: -1%.
3Is October usually a big month or a quiet one?
October is usually a quieter month than average (2% below) for searches for “ai interior design”. But the sites’ visits follow rankings more than the calendar, so the pattern is shown and not allowed to move the numbers.

- On the calendar
- the start of the fourth quarter and next year's budget planning
- Biggest months
- March and August

- No: average miss 5.7% as chosen, 4.8% without the pattern, 10.4% always with it

Miles explains
I tested the calendar against the last months and it made the forecast worse (10.4% average miss with it, 4.8% without), so I show it but leave it out.
4What to expect in October 2026

5What to expect over the next six months
By April 2027 the forecast expects about 587,866 visits a month, +4% on the 567,891 of September 2026, so the next six months look flat, after a step up from September 2026. The US path points the other way (-5% by April 2027): the US sites are moving against the worldwide total, so the two lines part.
| Month | Worldwide visits | Range | US visits | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| November 2026 | 587,866 | 532K to 644K | 109,501 | 95.2K to 124K |

6What the forecast expects for the ten most-visited sites
The forecast expects Ideal House (+3%) and Dehome (+6%) to rise, and mnml.ai (-3%), RoomsGPT (-6%), Remodel AI (-7%), Maket (-10%) and Spacely AI (-4%) to fall; the rest are within 3% of September 2026. Single sites are harder to forecast than the whole market, so their ranges are wider.

Together the ten come to 480,400, inside the market forecast of 587,866 for every tracked site.
Miles explains
Dehome has the biggest expected rise (+6%). Single sites are much harder to call than the whole market, so read these as direction, not promises.
7What could change the forecast
What could knock October 2026 off course:
- A big site winning or losing a page-one position for “ai interior design”.
- A Google update.
- A site going offline.
- A news story that spikes interest for a week and then fades.
None of these are in the numbers until they happen, which is why the range exists.
