AI has been a huge help during our pre-reno phase ā especially when we wanted to visualise small tweaks without waiting for drafts. hereās how we prompt smarter to get clearer, more accurate results š
1ļøā£ give context
always start by stating what the image is. the clearer the context, the more accurate the edits.
2ļøā£ state your goal ā what you want changed (and what must stay)
be specific:
⢠āremove the top cabinets above the sinkā
⢠āchange the island countertop to white quartzā
⢠ākeep the flooring and window positions unchangedā
AI works best when you give both the do and the donāt.
3ļøā£ describe materials, not design jargon
instead of āmake it more japandiā, try:
⢠ālight oak wood flooringā
⢠āwhite zellige backsplashā
⢠āmatte black hardwareā
material terms are much easier for ai to understand.
4ļøā£ bonus tip ā daily limits are real
most tools have usage caps, so donāt be shy ā switch between different platforms or even multiple accounts if you need more tries š
š” AI not here to replace your interior designer ā but it is great for brainstorming faster, communicating whatās in your head, and exploring more ideas before committing.
