## AI interior design from a room photo

One photo of the room as it is. A contact sheet of concepts for the room it could be.

[Try Room Service](https://sloosh.ai/spaces/room-service-2)

For a room redesign with AI, upload one photo of the room to [Room Service](https://sloosh.ai/spaces/room-service-2) on Sloosh, pick an interior style, a budget and the light, and you get back a contact sheet of redesign concepts for that same room. The walls, windows and doors stay where they are, so every option is a real proposal for the space your client already owns.

## What goes in, what comes out

| Room Service |  |
| --- | --- |
| You upload | One photo of the room as it is today, plus up to three style references if you have them |
| You choose | 4 to 12 design directions, a style, how far to go, a budget and the light |
| You can add | A Keep these note: the things that must stay |
| You get | A contact sheet of redesign concepts, with walls and layout kept |
| Cost | Shown on the Generate button before you run it |

## Picture this

It's Thursday, 6 pm. You're standing in an empty 2BHK living room in Pune with the owner's brother, who keeps saying "something warm, but not too much."

The flooring is beige vitrified tile. One wall gets afternoon sun. There's a window you can't move.

You take one photo from the doorway.

By the time you're back in the car, he could be looking at a whole sheet of versions of this room. Saturday's meeting becomes a choice instead of a guess.

## How do I turn a room photo into design options?

## Five steps

1. **Open Room Service and upload one photo of the room.**
2. **Pick the directions you want to see, 4 to 12 of them** a reading corner, a statement rug, work from home, plants and natural, and so on.
3. **Pick a style** Pick a style (Warm minimal, Japandi, Mid-century, Chettinad, Boho, Industrial, Coastal, or Surprise me), how far to go (Refresh, Restyle or Rethink), a budget and the light (as shot, daylight, golden hour or evening).
4. **In Keep these, list what can't change.** Check the cost on the Generate button, then run it.
5. **Download the contact sheet.** Circle two or three favourites and send them to your client.

A Keep these note for the Pune flat might read:

**Keep these**

```text
The beige floor tiles, the window and the ceiling fan.
```

Want a material the style list doesn't name, like teak and cane? Upload one to three photos of rooms that use it as style references.

## How do I get a great result?

**Shoot from the doorway, at chest height.** That's the angle your client walks in at, so every option reads as their room. Use the 1x lens and hold the phone level.

**Show the corners.** If two walls and the ceiling line are in the frame, the AI has the room's shape to hold on to. A tight crop of one wall gives it too little.

**Shoot in daylight with the lights off.** Mixed bulb and window light confuses colour. Daylight gives a clean base, and the Light setting adds the mood.

**Clear the floor first.** Boxes, ladders and paint tins can come back as furniture. Five minutes of tidying saves a rerun. If the room is a mess, run [Spring Clean](https://sloosh.ai/spaces/spring-clean) first.

**Show materials, don't describe moods.** Style references of teak, cane, terracotta and lime plaster give you a consistent sheet. A vague mood gives you guesses.

**Keep it to one room per run.** An L-shaped living and dining area photographed as one shot works. Two rooms through a doorway usually blurs the second one.

## How is this different from other Sloosh room Spaces?

| Space | Best for | What changes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Room Service | Many options for one room, fast | Furniture, decor and colours. Walls and layout kept |
| Room Restyle | One redesign to a style you type | Furniture, textiles and decor. Walls, windows and camera angle kept |
| Product in Room | Showing one real sofa or lamp in a client's room | Only the piece your product replaces |
| Wall Flower | Paint, wallpaper, floors and tiles only | Surfaces. Furniture stays put |

Use Room Service to find the direction. Use Product in Room once you know which sofa you're quoting.

## Who uses it?

- **Interior designers:** walk into the first meeting with options on paper instead of a mood board of other people's homes.
- **Furniture and decor sellers:** show a walk-in customer what a new look does to the photo of their own hall.
- **Realtors:** give buyers of a bare flat a few ideas of how it could live.
- **Home renovation contractors:** settle "what does she mean by modern" before the first quote.
- **Architects:** add a furnished concept to a handover deck without a render farm.

## When is Sloosh the wrong tool?

- **Construction drawings.** These are concept images. They don't give you dimensions, a bill of quantities or a carpenter's drawing.
- **Exact products.** Furniture in the options is invented. To show a sofa you sell, use Product in Room.
- **Structural changes.** Room Service keeps the walls. Moving a wall or a window needs a designer's plan, then a render.

## Can I run it from Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes, on every Sloosh plan. Claude, Codex, Cursor and VS Code can run it; ChatGPT can too, in a Business or Enterprise/Edu workspace. Connect the [Sloosh MCP server](https://sloosh.ai/docs/mcp), set a daily limit, attach your room photo and send:

**For Claude or ChatGPT**

```text
Run the Sloosh Space Room Service on this living room photo. Style: Japandi. Light: evening. Budget: mid. Keep: the beige floor tiles and the window. Show me the quote first.
```

## FAQ

**What is an AI room makeover?**

It is a set of redesign concepts made from a photo of your own room. On Sloosh, Room Service keeps the walls, windows and doors and changes the furniture, decor and colours, so you can compare options before you buy or paint anything.

**Can AI design a room from a photo?**

Yes. Room Service on Sloosh takes one photo of a room, a style, a budget and a lighting choice, and returns a contact sheet of redesign concepts. The walls, windows and doors stay where they are, so each concept fits the real room.

**Will the AI change my walls or windows?**

Room Service is built to keep the architecture in place: walls, windows and doors stay, while furniture, decor and colours change. Check each option against your photo before you share it with a client.

**Can I keep some of the existing furniture?**

Yes. List what should stay in the optional Keep these box, such as the floor tiles or the window seat. You can also upload up to three style references to guide the new look.

**Can I use these images in a client presentation?**

Yes, as concept images. Label them as AI concepts, because the new furniture is invented and the images carry no measurements.
