How to Adjust These Prompts to Fit Your Style
The beauty of using ChatGPT for living room design is that you can fine-tune the prompts to match your personal taste or space limitations. Want a Scandinavian vibe instead of modern minimalist? Prefer cool tones like sage green and walnut over beige and oak? You can easily tweak the script to reflect your preferences.
Start by adjusting the style keyword—for example, replace “modern minimalist” with “Scandinavian,” “Japandi,” “boho,” or “industrial.” Then, update the room size based on your actual space (e.g., 12x14 ft for a small apartment). If you have a specific color palette in mind, modify the “main colors” section to include tones you love, such as navy blue, sage green, or charcoal gray.
You can also personalize the furniture descriptions by naming brands or styles (like “rattan coffee table” or “mid-century sofa”), and adapt the lighting to your mood—whether it’s warm and cozy with floor lamps and sconces or bright and clean with recessed lights.
Finally, think about the decor: if you dislike plants or prefer photography over paintings, mention that. Want a top-down layout view? Just add “top-down perspective” to the prompt. The more specific and descriptive your edits, the closer the AI-generated image will align with your dream living room.
