What you will get

Your bedroom photo with the walls repainted in your colour, with the shadows, wall texture, furniture, windows and lighting kept so the new paint looks real.

Why it works

A paint preview only helps if light and shadow stay real, so the prompt keeps shadows, texture, furniture and windows exactly as they are. Only the wall colour changes. Trying several colours in separate prompts, as the tip says, makes comparing easy.

Common mistake

The paint also covers the curtains, headboard or frames.

Fix: Say “change the wall paint only, and leave curtains, headboard, frames and floor in their original colours”.

Also watch for

The colour looks different from the name on the paint tin. Describe the shade in plain words, like “soft sage green, a little grey”, and check a small test patch on your own wall in daylight and lamp light.
The wall looks flat and has lost its shadows. Add “keep the existing shading and light falloff across the wall”. A photo with daylight on the wall helps.

Try a variation: try an accent wall

As the tip says, try several colours, then ask for “only the wall behind the bed in the darker shade, the other walls in the lighter one”. This shows if a bold wall suits the room.

Keep everything the same except the wall colour. Make it slightly warmer and lighter, and keep the shadow from the window.
