Maket Turns Floor and Wall Material Textures Into Prompt-Generated Assets: Will Traditional Material Swatches Remain Relevant?
Maket has officially launched its new floor and wall texture generation feature: input text descriptions or reference images, and you will get production-ready materials that can be used directly for interior design proposals. It eliminates the tedious back-and-forth of hunting for textures and testing different material options, but it does not replace full real-world verification of actual material properties.
Maket recently rolled out a new feature that allows users to generate floor and wall textures directly from text prompts or uploaded reference images.

This update effectively adds a dedicated "material input box" for interior design tools, and it solves a very specific, longstanding industry pain point. The most frustrating work during the conceptual design stage is usually tracking down a floor texture that looks just right: wood grain that flows naturally, stone patterns that do not look artificially rendered, and wall color tones that align perfectly with the planned furniture pieces. Browsing material asset libraries, running repeated render tests, swapping out one texture for another, and cycling through this workflow multiple times can easily waste half a workday.
Maket's approach drastically shortens this repetitive loop. You can describe the exact floor or wall finish you want with a simple sentence, or feed in a reference image, and the tool will generate matching textures. For architects and interior designers, it works perfectly for early-stage design brainstorming: you can test the overall visual atmosphere, proportional relationships and color matching first, without locking in a specific real physical material from the very start. For property owners with no technical design background, it also lowers the threshold for expressing their preferences — at the very least, they can turn a vague request like "I want that kind of old worn wood floor" into a clear, shareable visual.
But do not treat it as a full replacement for a physical material library. Generated textures only resolve visual trial and error, and they do not handle real material specifications, abrasion resistance ratings, production batch consistency, or color difference between screen previews and actual products. No matter how seamless the wood grain looks on your screen, the tool cannot judge underfoot walking feel or long-term maintenance costs for you. Especially for large-area materials like flooring and wall cladding, once repeating patterns, unnatural seams, or wrong scale details show up, the render will immediately look obviously fake.
That is why this feature is best suited for the very early stage of design. Use it to quickly rule out clearly unsuitable material directions, then finalize your selection with real physical material swatches. Designers will definitely flip through fewer pages of texture libraries thanks to this tool, but physical material samples will most likely not be discarded completely.
