Room redesign from a photo: see your space in a new style
You know the living room needs a change, but you cannot picture whether Japandi, mid-century or warm minimal would suit it. This prompt has your todo.is agent redesign your room from one photo, keep the walls, windows and floor where they are, and add a shopping list with links so the idea can become real.
The prompt
- Redesign the [ROOM] in the attached photo in [STYLE] style. Keep the walls, windows, doors, ceiling and floor layout exactly where they are; change furniture, colours, lighting, textiles and decor. Things I am keeping: [KEEP]. Make 3 different design images from the same camera angle. Then for the one I like best, give me a shopping list with similar real products and links, within a budget of about [BUDGET], plus the paint colour names.
What to change
- [ROOM]: E.g. "small living room", "bedroom", "home office", "kitchen-diner".
- [STYLE]: E.g. "Japandi", "mid-century modern", "warm minimal", "Scandinavian with colour", "coastal". Or "suggest 3 styles".
- [KEEP]: E.g. "the grey sofa and the oak floor", "my bookshelves", or "nothing, start fresh".
- [BUDGET]: A rough amount in your currency, e.g. "1,500 euros", "$800 without furniture".
Example result
- Room redesign: small living room, Japandi
- Source: living_room.jpg · keep the grey sofa and the oak floor · budget about 1,500 euros
- Design images
- • living_room_japandi.png: low oak coffee table, linen cushions in sand and rust on your grey sofa, paper floor lamp, one large plant
- • living_room_warm_minimal.png: cream walls, a jute rug, boucle armchair, framed print above the sofa
- • living_room_soft_modern.png: sage green accent wall, round mirror, slim black shelving
- Why the Japandi version works here
- • Light wood and paper lighting warm up the cool grey sofa
- • Low furniture makes the 2.5 m ceiling feel higher
- • Hidden storage in a long sideboard clears the clutter from the shelves in your photo
- • A warm 2700K light in the corner fixes the dim area by the window
- Shopping list (links sent with the to-do, prices checked on the day)
- • Low oak or ash coffee table, around 120 cm wide
- • Long low sideboard with sliding doors, light wood
- • Paper or rice paper floor lamp, about 120 cm tall
- • 4 linen cushion covers in sand, rust and off-white
- • Flat-weave wool or jute rug, 200 x 300 cm so the front sofa legs sit on it
- • Large plant in a ceramic pot, such as a fiddle-leaf fig or olive tree
- • Warm white paint for the walls, with two example shades from a paint brand's site
- Before you buy
- • Measure: the design is an image, not a floor plan. Check widths, walkways (about 80 cm) and door swings
- • Check every product page for size, stock and delivery yourself; the agent does not buy anything
- • AI images can show furniture slightly out of scale, so trust the tape measure over the picture
- • For moving walls, plumbing or electrics, talk to a qualified tradesperson
How to do it with todo.is
- Take a wide photo of the room from a corner, in daylight, and attach it in todo.is.
- Copy the prompt and fill in the room, style, what you keep and your budget.
- Look at the 3 designs and reply with the one you like (or what to mix).
- Get the shopping list with links, then check sizes and buy what you want yourself.
Tips for a better result
- Shoot from a corner at chest height with a wide lens setting; it shows the most of the room and gives the best redesigns.
- Add your room measurements so the shopping list suggests pieces that actually fit.
- Not sure about style? Ask for the same room in 3 very different styles before you pick one.
- Rent? Say so, and the agent avoids paint and suggests rugs, lamps, textiles and removable decor.
room redesign from a photo: FAQ
- Can AI redesign my room from a photo? Yes. It keeps the structure of your room and shows new furniture, colours and decor in the style you choose, from the same angle.
- Will the furniture in the images be real products? The design image is AI-generated. The agent then searches for similar real products and sends links, which you should check for size and stock.
- Is the redesign to scale? Not exactly. It is a visual idea, so measure your room and the furniture before buying.
- Can I redesign a room I rent? Yes. Ask for a renter-friendly version with no painting or drilling, using rugs, lighting, textiles and freestanding furniture.
