Luxury Design Without the Designer Fees | Ep. 68 [Salman A Rahman]
Feb 17, 2026 Season 1 Episode 68
Leeanne Aguilar, Ph.D.

In this episode of Industry Ignited, Dr. Leeanne Aguilar sits down with Salman A. Rahman, Chief Technology Officer of Decorate AI, to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming the $290 billion interior design industry.

Salman shares how his background in technology and textiles led to the creation of Decorate AI, a platform built to eliminate guesswork, reduce costly design mistakes, and give users the confidence to make decorating decisions before spending a single dollar. Instead of relying on expensive traditional designers or chaotic Pinterest boards, Decorate AI uses computer vision and generative AI to analyze your space, understand your preferences, and generate realistic, personalized design recommendations in seconds.

The conversation dives into the emotional side of home design, why people struggle with regret, decision fatigue, and budget anxiety and how AI can bridge the gap between inspiration and action. You’ll also hear how the platform integrates real-time product availability, pricing, and “shop-the-look” functionality to make designs instantly purchasable, saving users time and frustration.
