Google announced five new functions for Google Search on August 25, 2026, specifically oriented toward home decoration. [^1]

AI Mode allows users to upload a photo of a room to see mockups of furniture, helping to estimate if a sofa or table fits dimensions and aesthetics before purchase. [^2]

Google Lens enables users to take a photo of an object found on the street or in stores to locate similar articles and options within different price ranges. [^3]

Search Live combines voice input and real-time video to guide the installation of shelves or other tasks, offering visual instructions while the user works. [^4]

Google is working on a new animation for the Search Live feature that displays blurry, colorful blobs at the bottom of the screen. [^5]

Google is also working on a tweaked user interface for Search Live that removes labels under the buttons for the mic, camera, and transcript. [^6]

The new Search Live animation uses different colors and a gradient but features the colors in tiny, blurry blobs instead of a standard gradient. [^7]

The updated Search Live UI swaps the mic and video buttons to put the microphone in the center and features a waveform animation beside the mic when the user is talking. [^8]
