Restyle the room you already have
Upload a furnished room, pick a style, and choose how much changes. Keep Your Layout and Restyle preserve the architecture; Reimagine keeps the room shell and camera but may change openings and built-ins.

from photo to restyled room
Restyle is the mode most people mean when they say AI interior design. You give it a photo of a room that already has furniture in it, name a style, and get the same room back with different furnishings and finishes. What makes it useful rather than merely impressive is the part that does not change: the architecture is held fixed, so the result reads as a proposal for your room rather than a picture of somebody else's. The one control that matters most is how far you let it go, and it is the control people most often get wrong on their first attempt.
What this mode does
- Input
- A photograph of a furnished room.
- What changes
- Furniture, decor, finishes, and layout freedom according to the selected strength.
- What stays
- The room shell and camera at every strength. Keep Your Layout and Restyle also preserve openings and fixed architecture.
- Use another mode when
- Use a focused wall, floor, mood, or detail mode when only one variable is unresolved.
What does restyling a room from a photo actually change?
The split depends on the strength. Keep Your Layout and Restyle allow furniture, decor, materials, finishes, wall colour, flooring, and lighting to change while preserving walls, windows, doors, ceiling height, room proportions, and the camera. Reimagine keeps the room shell, wall positions, floor area, ceiling height, proportions, and camera fixed, but it may change windows, doors, interior openings, fireplaces, beams, and built-ins.
The camera angle deserves particular mention because people ask for it to move more than anything else. Holding the framing fixed is what makes the before and after comparable, and comparability is the entire point. If the viewpoint shifted, you would have no way to judge whether the model respected the space or quietly invented a larger one. It is also why requests to zoom, crop, or reframe are declined rather than half-honoured.
Within those limits the model has real latitude. It can put down a different floor, repaint every wall, change the lighting mood, and replace every piece of furniture with something the room would plausibly hold. Use one of the two lower strengths when openings and built-ins must stay fixed. Use Reimagine only when a more speculative direction is acceptable.
Choosing a change strength
Three settings, and the difference between them is how much of the original survives. Keep your layout holds the furniture arrangement and changes the finishes around it, which is the right choice when the room works and simply looks tired. Restyle the room replaces the furnishings while holding the architecture, which is the default and what most people want. Reimagine completely departs furthest, and produces the most striking images and the most disappointment.
The common mistake is starting at the top. Reimagine completely is designed to take liberties, so a first-time user reaching for it gets back something impressive that no longer reads as their room, concludes the tool cannot preserve geometry, and stops. The same photo at the middle setting usually produces exactly what they were after. Start lower and work up: it costs one credit to move a step, and far less frustration.
The other reason to start low is diagnostic. If a gentle restyle already loses your window line, the problem is the photograph rather than the setting, and no amount of adjusting the strength will fix a dark or ultra-wide input. Establishing that early saves you a pack of credits.
Restyle, or one of the focused modes?
Restyle changes everything on the changeable side at once. That is efficient when you want a new look overall, and wasteful when you want one thing. If the only problem is the carpet, Change flooring touches the floor and leaves the rest of the room alone. If it is the wall colour, Change wall does the same for the walls. Reaching for a full restyle to solve a single-surface problem gives the model licence to change six things you were happy with.
The focused modes are also more reliable for exactly that reason. A narrower instruction has fewer ways to go wrong, and the result is easier to check: you look at one surface rather than auditing the whole room. When a client has approved everything except the floor, a focused pass is both faster and safer than regenerating the lot.
Where restyle earns its place is the undecided case. Someone who does not yet know what they want is better served by three full restyles in three styles than by a careful single-surface edit, because the question they are actually asking is which direction to go rather than which floor to buy.
Running one room as several
Because the architecture and the camera position are held fixed, two restyles of the same photograph are directly comparable, and the comparison is worth more than either image on its own. One render tells you whether you like a room. Three renders of the same room tell you which direction you prefer, and that is the question most people actually arrive with, even when they phrase it as wanting to see what is possible.
Judge them together rather than one after another. A striking render seen alone is persuasive in a way it has not earned, and rooms photograph well by default. Put the versions side by side and look at the same few things in each: the floor, the largest piece of furniture, the wall behind the sofa, whether the light still comes from the window it actually comes from. What survives that comparison is usually a clearer preference than any single image produces.
It is also the cheapest way to settle a disagreement between two people about a room they share. Arguing about whether a space should go warm and layered or pale and spare is unresolvable in the abstract, because each person is imagining a different room. Generating both from the same photograph turns it into a choice between two pictures of the same space, which is a conversation that tends to end.
Why restyle a room works
A preservation level you choose
Keep Your Layout and Restyle preserve walls, windows, doors, ceiling height, and camera angle. Reimagine keeps the shell, proportions, and camera while allowing openings and built-ins to change.
Decide how far it goes
Keep your layout moves the least and holds the furniture arrangement. Restyle replaces the furnishings. Reimagine departs furthest, and is the one to reach for last.
Try a direction before you commit
Seeing three styles in your actual room settles an argument that months of mood boards will not.
Names you can act on
A style name is repeatable in a way a mood board is not. Pick the same style twice and you get a consistent look across rooms.
Works on rooms that are already furnished
No need to clear the space first. If the room is empty, Add furniture is the mode you want instead.
A step in a sequence
Declutter first if the room is busy, then restyle the cleared version. Two focused passes beat one ambitious prompt.
How it works
- 1
Upload the furnished room
Shoot from a corner in daylight at 1x. The clearer the room reads, the better the architecture survives.
- 2
Pick a style and a strength
Choose from 36 styles, then decide how much should change. Start lower than you think.
- 3
Compare and keep
Get the restyled room in about 30 seconds. Run a second style and put them side by side.
