Is the AI home design market growing or shrinking?

The answer▼ Shrinking
- Visits, year on year, without Ideal House
- -17%
- Visits, last six months
- -1.8%
- Name searches vs October 2025
- -51%
Every month I add up the Google visits to the 32 AI home design sites I track (DataForSEO estimates) and how often people in the US search for them by name (Google Ads). In October 2026 they got about 572,237 visits. Much of the year’s change is one site, Ideal House; without it, visits are down 17% on a year ago.
The total hides very different stories: one site grew 1684% in a year while another lost 90% of its visits. See who grew and who shrank, the visits month by month and the name searches, plus what I expect for November 2026.

Miles explains
More visits than a year ago means new people are still finding AI home design sites through Google. Most of that growth is one site, Ideal House; without it, visits are down 17% on a year ago.
2.Are people searching for AI home design sites by name?
Down 51% on October 2025; 16.6K name searches a month in the US
Fewer than before. People in the US searched Google for the names of the counted AI home design sites 16,570 times in September 2026, 51% fewer searches than in October 2025. Someone who searches a site’s name already knows it, so this is the clearest sign of people coming back on purpose. The term “ai interior design” itself gets about 5,400 US searches a month (Google Ads, 12-month average).

Name searches are down, so fewer people are coming back on purpose. Better Google rankings will not fix that.

The five most-visited sites hold 67.9% of all visits; the ten most-visited hold 84%
