Interior Design has been and is a rising segment of our changing, modern-day culture and its success is being affected by the search engine and how it manipulates what both consumers and owners see in the context of ID. For example, an increased use of images has been implemented into optimizing search within the context of interior design. I truly believe this is the case because interior design is an entirely visual experience and business. With that being said, using images to be able to search ideas or items has been incredibly effective for interior design and its success and growth, the increased growth of voice search has also had an effect on the success of interior design. Using voice to search various forms of interior design is helpful because the user is able to explain a situation, room or style in a more detailed fashion, while taking much quicker time than trying to type out something so detailed which ultimately ends up being a multi-word search. Ultimately, SEO trends are always changing, and it is crucial for interior designers to stay up to date on these trends in order to maximize their success in design. Also, the increase in AI and the development of that technology is important for interior designers to understand and ultimately to know how to use. Design is currently being impacted by AI’s development, and it is super important for designers to use it in the appropriate ways to maximize the effect AI search has on design. In conclusion, the SEO trends are changing for so many organizations but for design specifically, the development and use of images in search and the development of voice to search have had a positive impact on designers and will continue to.

I think it’s really interesting that voice search is so prominent for interior design. It makes a lot of sense that it would be easier to describe a detailed description of a room by speaking rather than typing it out. I think this would also be helpful to receive more relevant search results because as long as you are speaking clearly, there should be less risk of typos than there would be if you typed a long description.
Abby, I think you bring up some great points in your discussion of how visual search and voice search are both making it easier for Interior Design companies and designers to be found. Especially in an industry like this, where the product and service is more visual than physical, it can be tricky trying to figure out how to search. I used to be very interested in interior design and remember searching things like “small homes with colorful decorations on floating shelves” which then is such a long search phrase. However, with the rise of optimizing photos, I likely would be able to get better results if I searched the same thing today compared to three years ago. It will be cool to see the ways that image search continues to impact this field and the opportunities it unlocks.
