Layout drift
Cabinet runs, islands, doorways, windows, or appliance positions may move or resize.

What Is Design Drift in AI Kitchen Rendering?
Design drift is when an AI-enhanced render looks more polished but changes something important from the original kitchen design, such as layout, cabinet shape, material, window position, appliance placement, or camera angle.
Why design drift matters
A beautiful render can still be risky if it changes the design a client approved. Across KBB and interior projects, small visual changes can create confusion around layout, specification, finish, or expectation. That is why AI-enhanced renders need automatic checks and a clear approval process.
Material drift
Worktops, cabinet colours, handles, floors, splashbacks, and finishes may become more attractive but less accurate.
Presentation drift
The camera angle, lighting mood, styling props, or room proportions may change the client expectation.
How ARQ reduces the manual drift-check burden
ARQ automatically compares the generated render with its source, then surfaces possible changes before approval. The person making the final decision reads those flags and confirms quoted commercial details instead of performing the first-pass visual comparison manually.
- ARQ checks cabinet count, shape, and run positions.
- ARQ checks appliance placement and window or door openings.
- ARQ checks colour, material, floor, and worktop intent.
- ARQ flags styling props that may misrepresent the design.
How ARQ automates possible-drift checks
Automatic QA
ARQ automatically compares the source and output so possible drift is flagged before human approval.
Visible decisions
Review, retry, override, approval, and rejection state stays attached to the render attempt.
