The most important factor: your photo

The quality of the AI output is directly tied to the quality of your input photo. A clear, well-lit, uncluttered room photo gives the AI enough context to produce a realistic result. See the full Photo Guide for specific guidance.

​
Being specific with style preferences

The AI responds well to specificity. Instead of just selecting a style, add context in the optional description field. 
Minimalist style

​
Reference what you want to keep

If there are elements in your room you want to preserve, say so explicitly:
  • “Keep the exposed brick wall”
  • “I want to keep my existing blue sofa — design around it”
  • “Preserve the hardwood floors”

​
Use the Design Planner first

Before spending credits on AI generations, spend 5 minutes in the Design Planner (free). Build a clear brief:
  • What style are you going for?
  • What’s your budget constraint?
  • What do you love about your current room?
  • What do you hate?
A clear brief leads to much better generation results.

​
Iterate with variations

If your first result is close but not perfect, use Generate Variation (1 credit) rather than starting fresh. Variations make subtle adjustments to an existing result — they’re more efficient than re-generating from scratch.

​
Style-specific tips

Specify palette constraints: “only white, off-white, and light oak — no color”. The AI tends to add pops of color unless told not to.
Mention textures and layers: “layered rugs, macramé wall hanging, hanging plants, mixed textiles”. Boho works best with rich descriptions.
Mention exposed elements: “exposed brick, raw steel, Edison bulbs, dark palette”. If your room has brick, tell the AI to keep it.
Specify formality level: “formal traditional with dark wood, heavy curtains, and patterned rugs” vs “relaxed traditional with lighter colors”.

​
Using Wall Color Changer for paint decisions

Don’t just test one color — test 3–4 options (each costs just 1 credit). The same color can look dramatically different depending on your room’s lighting and existing furniture. Test:
  • The color you want
  • One shade lighter
  • One shade warmer
  • One bold alternative
This small investment saves you from a bad paint decision that costs far more to fix.
