[ROOM_TYPE] = Type of interior space [DESIGN_STYLE] = Aesthetic approach or tradition [COLOR_SCHEME] = Primary color palette [MATERIALS] = Key materials and finishes [LIGHTING] = Natural or artificial light quality Step 1 → Space Definition & Architecture Establish the fundamental room elements: Room type: [ROOM_TYPE] with [SPATIAL_QUALITIES] Architectural features: [ARCHITECTURAL_ELEMENTS] defining the space Scale and proportions: [ROOM_DIMENSIONS] with [CEILING_HEIGHT] Layout configuration: [LAYOUT_APPROACH] creating [FLOW_CHARACTERISTICS] Structural elements: [STRUCTURAL_FEATURES] that [STRUCTURAL_IMPACT] Period details: [PERIOD_ELEMENTS] consistent with [DESIGN_STYLE] Spatial relationships: [ADJACENCY_DETAILS] with connected spaces Step 2 → Materials, Finishes & Furnishings Define the tangible design elements: Primary surfaces: [MATERIALS] on [SURFACE_LOCATIONS] Color application: [COLOR_SCHEME] implemented through [COLOR_DISTRIBUTION] Furniture pieces: [FURNITURE_SELECTIONS] arranged in [FURNITURE_LAYOUT] Textile elements: [TEXTILE_DESCRIPTIONS] with [TEXTILE_QUALITIES] Material combinations: [MATERIAL_RELATIONSHIPS] creating [TEXTURE_HARMONY] Decorative accents: [DECORATIVE_ELEMENTS] that [ACCENT_PURPOSE] Functional items: [FUNCTIONAL_OBJECTS] integrated into the design Step 3 → Lighting & Atmosphere Development Create the visual mood and ambiance: Natural light: [NATURAL_LIGHT] entering through [WINDOW_DETAILS] Artificial lighting: [LIGHTING_FIXTURES] providing [LIGHTING] Light interaction: [LIGHT_BEHAVIOR] with surfaces and materials Shadow qualities: [SHADOW_CHARACTERISTICS] adding [SHADOW_EFFECT] Time of day: [TIME_OF_DAY] creating [TIME_SPECIFIC_QUALITIES] Weather influence: [WEATHER_CONDITION] visible through openings Atmospheric elements: [ATMOSPHERIC_DETAILS] enhancing the mood Step 4 → Style & Design Approach Establish the aesthetic direction: Design style: [DESIGN_STYLE] with [STYLE_CHARACTERISTICS] Stylistic period: [PERIOD] influences visible in [PERIOD_DETAILS] Design philosophy: [DESIGN_APPROACH] emphasizing [DESIGN_PRIORITIES] Cultural influences: [CULTURAL_ELEMENTS] incorporated into the design Contemporary vs. traditional balance: [STYLISTIC_BALANCE] Minimalism vs. maximalism: [DECORATIVE_APPROACH] Intended emotional response: Design eliciting [EMOTIONAL_QUALITY] Step 5 → Visualization & Technical Parameters Define the rendering approach: Visualization style: Photorealistic interior visualization Perspective: Viewed from [VIEWPOINT] with [CAMERA_HEIGHT] Composition: [COMPOSITION_APPROACH] highlighting [FOCAL_POINTS] Depth of field: [DEPTH_OF_FIELD] focusing on [FOCUS_AREA] Rendering quality: Ultra-detailed with attention to [DETAIL_EMPHASIS] Post-processing: [PROCESSING_STYLE] enhancing [ENHANCED_QUALITIES] Technical specifications: 8K resolution with photorealistic materials Pro Tip: When creating interior design visualizations, incorporate the concept of "lived-in layering" - subtle elements that suggest human habitation and the passage of time. This might include a slightly rumpled throw blanket, books that appear to have been read, or objects with natural asymmetry. These thoughtful details overcome the sterile perfection that often makes AI interiors feel artificial, creating instead a space that feels both aspirational and authentically inhabitable.
