What you will get

A 16:9 photorealistic render of your house style in its setting, with your chosen materials, warm evening light, lit interiors, a landscaped front garden and a wide-angle real-estate look.

Common mistake

Walls, windows or stairs make no structural sense.

Fix: Follow the tip: treat it as a mood image. Ask “simple, believable proportions with clear doors and windows” and leave the plans to an architect.

Also watch for

The style mixes unrelated details. Name one style and three materials only. Too many ideas give a house that looks like a collage.
The picture looks like a model, not a real house. Add “a slightly lived-in garden, natural textures, some wear on the paths and a car in the drive”.

Try a variation: daytime and interior pair

Make a second picture of the same house in bright midday light, then ask for “the living room of this house with large windows facing the garden”.

Still not right? Add this and run it again

Keep the same house. Simplify the roof shape, use fewer materials and add a more natural garden.
