Arcade , a generative AI marketplace for designing jewelry, is expanding its offerings to include home goods, starting with rugs. The company on Monday also introduced a new feature called “Match My Room,” which allows users to upload a photo of their room so their design complements the existing colors and style. Alongside this expansion, Arcade announced its $25 million Series A funding round, bringing the total amount raised to $42 million.
Similar to Arcade’s jewelry design generator, the rug creation tool leverages Midjourney and Stable Diffusion. Users select the rug material and then enter a text prompt to describe the desired design. Once the design is generated, it’s then paired with a manufacturer, who will send the creator a free sample for approval before purchasing.
Based on our testing, rugs start at around $400 for a 3×9 hand-tufted wool option, which is the most affordable material. Prices increase for higher-end materials such as cashmere, alpaca, and mohair. However, Arcade claims to offer more affordable options than luxury rug retailers that charge thousands of dollars.
The “Match My Room” feature allows users to upload a photo of their space. While the AI analyzes color matching, it can’t successfully replicate patterns from other decor items in the image, like pillows and blankets. Overall, though, it’s a useful tool for ensuring the rug’s color accents tie in with other furniture.
For users looking to create designs for pure enjoyment.
