AI room makeover and interior design prompts

Before you paint, buy a rug or call a contractor, you can see the change on a photo of your own room. These prompts redesign a room in a new style, try a wall colour, preview tiles, curtains, rugs or kitchen cabinets, declutter a space, and show a balcony garden or a new house exterior.

Each prompt asks the AI to keep the walls, windows, doors and layout the same and change only what you name. Take the photo from a corner, in daylight, so the AI can see the whole room.

    Upload it to Gemini or ChatGPT, paste the prompt and fill in the style, budget and must-haves.

  3. 3

Make it yours

  • Style: warm minimalist, Japandi, modern Indian, Scandinavian or boho.

  • Compare: ask for "3 different styles side by side" to choose faster.
