Design-drift workflow

How to Stop AI Changing Your Kitchen Design

AI can make a kitchen render more polished while quietly changing the design itself. The answer is not to avoid AI completely. It is to keep the source design visible, let ARQ automatically check for possible drift, and only approve a render when it is suitable for the client.

Start with the right expectation

AI-enhanced renders should not become client assets merely because they look good. ARQ automatically checks each attempt against its source, then keeps the result and any flags visible for the final approval decision.

Keep the source nearby

ARQ keeps the original CAD or design export connected to the generated attempt.

Run automatic QA

ARQ checks possible changes to cabinetry, worktops, windows, appliances, materials, and camera angle before approval.

Make approval explicit

Do not let a polished image drift into a client deck without a visible review decision.

Seven areas ARQ checks automatically

  • Cabinet runs, island shape, and wall units still match the source export.
  • Windows, doors, openings, and room proportions have not moved.
  • Sink, hob, oven, fridge, and extractor positions are still correct.
  • Worktop, flooring, splashback, and cabinet material intent is preserved.
  • Handles, profiles, legs, trims, and visible hardware are not misleading.
  • Camera angle and framing still represent the intended client view.
  • Props and styling do not imply products or finishes the client has not chosen.

How ARQ turns the check into a workflow

Queue from real exports

ARQ starts from JPG, JPEG, or PNG design exports so the source view stays part of the workflow.

QA before approval

ARQ automatically flags possible drift before a person makes the final approval decision.

Retry with context

If a render changes the wrong details, the retry can focus on correcting the flagged issues rather than starting from scratch.

Client rooms for finals

Approved renders are kept separate from attempts, making it clearer which images are safe to use.
