Frequently Asked Questions

Open ChatGPT with GPT-4o (or a current image-capable model). To redesign a real space, upload a clear photo of the room and paste a prompt that uses [YOUR ROOM PHOTO], referring to your uploaded image. To design from scratch, paste a prompt with [ROOM & STYLE] and replace it with a short description of your room's size, shape and window placement. ChatGPT generates the interior render in seconds.

Use [YOUR ROOM PHOTO] when you want to reimagine a space you already have; it keeps your real walls, windows and proportions so the result is easier to act on. Use [ROOM & STYLE] when you're planning a new space or want total creative freedom. For accuracy, add details like room dimensions, ceiling height and where the windows and doors are.

Image models rebuild the picture rather than editing your photo pixel by pixel, so layouts and proportions can drift. To stay realistic, add 'keep the existing walls, windows and room proportions' to the prompt, upload a well-lit wide-angle photo, and mention any fixed features you can't move, like a doorway or radiator.

Image generation is available on paid ChatGPT plans and, in limited amounts, on the free tier depending on current usage caps. If generation is unavailable, you may have hit a daily limit; wait for it to reset or upgrade to Plus for higher limits and faster results.

Images you create in ChatGPT are generally yours to use under OpenAI's terms, including for client mood boards, listings or social posts, but always review the current usage policy. Treat the renders as inspiration rather than construction plans, and confirm real measurements, materials and costs before ordering furniture or starting work.
