Floor Plan Visualization Guide
What This Does
Transforms rough floor plans, architectural sketches, or room layouts into fully furnished, photorealistic interior visualizations. The AI interprets spatial relationships and renders them as livable spaces.
Interior Styles
| Style | Key Elements | Mood |
|---|---|---|
| Modern | Clean lines, neutral palette, minimal decor, statement furniture | Sleek, sophisticated |
| Scandinavian | Light wood, white walls, functional design, cozy textiles | Warm, airy |
| Industrial | Exposed brick, metal fixtures, concrete, Edison bulbs | Raw, urban |
| Mid-Century Modern | Organic shapes, warm woods, bold accent colors, iconic furniture | Retro, playful |
| Minimalist | Sparse furnishing, monochrome, hidden storage, clean surfaces | Calm, intentional |
| Bohemian | Layered textiles, plants, eclectic mix, warm colors | Creative, lived-in |
| Contemporary | Current trends, mixed materials, subtle contrast, curated art | Fresh, polished |
| Japandi | Japanese minimalism meets Scandinavian warmth, natural materials | Serene, balanced |

Example Prompts
Modern Living Room:
"Photorealistic interior visualization of open-plan living room based on floor plan layout. Modern interior design with clean lines, neutral gray and white palette. Large sectional sofa facing windows, minimalist coffee table, statement floor lamp. Floor-to-ceiling windows with sheer curtains, natural daylight flooding space. Hardwood flooring, white walls, concrete accent wall. Furniture scaled to room proportions, clear traffic pathways. Architectural visualization quality, 8K render."
Scandinavian Bedroom:
"Interior render of master bedroom from floor plan. Scandinavian style: light oak bed frame, white linen bedding, wool throw blanket. Bedside tables with ceramic lamps. Large window with natural light, light gray walls, whitewashed wood flooring. Minimal decor—one large plant, abstract art above bed. Cozy but uncluttered, furniture positioned respecting door and closet access. Warm, inviting atmosphere, photorealistic quality."
Industrial Kitchen:
"Kitchen visualization from floor plan showing industrial aesthetic. Exposed brick accent wall, concrete countertops, black metal pendant lights over island. Open shelving with mixed materials—wood, metal, glass. Stainless steel appliances, subway tile backsplash. Original window placement preserved, natural light balanced with Edison bulb fixtures. Functional layout with clear work triangle. Raw urban feel, architectural photography style."
Interpreting Floor Plans
When the user provides a floor plan or sketch:
- Identify fixed elements: Windows, doors, built-ins, structural walls
- Note room function: Bedroom, living room, kitchen, office—informs furniture selection
- Observe proportions: Long narrow vs. square rooms need different arrangements
- Respect traffic flow: Don't block doorways, leave paths between zones
Customization Questions
Ask users about:
- Room type: What function does this space serve?
- Style preference: Modern, Scandinavian, industrial, etc.
- Color palette: Neutral, warm, cool, bold accents?
- Flooring: Hardwood, tile, carpet, concrete?
- Natural light: How much window area? Which direction?
- Occupants: Family with kids, couple, single professional?
- Must-haves: Specific furniture pieces or features?
Quality Markers
Great floor plan visualizations include:
- Accurate scale — Furniture proportional to room size
- Functional layout — Logical furniture placement for use
- Consistent style — All elements belong to same aesthetic
- Natural lighting — Realistic light from window positions
- Material authenticity — Textures look real, not plastic
- Livability — Space feels inhabitable, not staged
Editing Existing Renders
When modifying a previously generated visualization:
"Modify this interior render: [specific change]. Keep the same room layout and proportions. Maintain existing furniture positions unless repositioning is the requested change. Preserve the [style] aesthetic. Update only: [what should change]."
Examples of edits:
- "Change the flooring from hardwood to polished concrete"
- "Replace the sofa with a sectional in navy blue"
- "Add a dining area in the corner near the window"
- "Switch from modern to Scandinavian style throughout"
