🎨 7 Copy-Paste Prompts

Swap in details about your own space. Each prompt is a starting point — iterate with follow-ups like "make the sofa green" or "now show it at night."

1️⃣ The Dreamy Living Room

Vibe: Warm, lived-in, curated. Boutique-hotel energy. Great when you want to keep the existing sofa.
📋 Click to expand prompt
/banana Redesign my living room with a warm, modern organic style. Soft beige and cream tones, a low-profile linen couch, bouclé accent chair, travertine coffee table, and a big arched floor lamp. Add an oversized abstract art piece above the couch. Keep the existing windows. Make it feel like a boutique hotel.

2️⃣ The Japandi Bedroom

Vibe: Minimal, quiet, deeply restful. Perfect for small bedrooms that feel cluttered.
📋 Click to expand prompt
/banana Transform this bedroom into a Japandi style sanctuary. Low platform bed in oak, white linen bedding, paper pendant lamp, small wabi-sabi ceramic vase, and a single piece of black ink wall art. Strip out everything unnecessary. The room should feel calm and intentional.

```</code></pre></div></details>

3️⃣ The Dream Home Office

Vibe: Built for 8-hour workdays. Light, storage, and a setup that doesn't wreck your back.
📋 Click to expand prompt
/banana Redesign this as a high-end home office built for 8 hour work days. Walnut standing desk facing the window, an ergonomic mesh chair, built-in shelving with a mix of books and design objects, warm task lighting, and one leather lounge chair in the corner for reading. Keep it masculine and grounded.

```</code></pre></div></details>

4️⃣ The Rental-Friendly Kitchen

Vibe: No knocking down walls. Surface-level changes, massive visual impact.
📋 Click to expand prompt
/banana Give this kitchen a full makeover without any structural changes. Paint the cabinets deep forest green, swap the hardware for brass, add a natural stone backsplash, hang two matte black pendant lights over the counter, and style the shelves with a ceramic vase, a cutting board, and a plant. Keep the existing appliances.

```</code></pre></div></details>

5️⃣ The Small Apartment Glow-Up

Vibe: Tiny space, every inch working hard. Zoning and multi-use furniture without adding walls.
📋 Click to expand prompt
/banana Redesign this studio apartment to make it feel twice as big. Create distinct zones for sleeping, working, and relaxing without adding walls. Use a light and airy color palette, a sleeper sofa, a round dining table that doubles as a desk, tall bookshelves along one wall, and layered rugs to define each space. Max vertical storage.

```</code></pre></div></details>

6️⃣ The Moody Dining Room

Vibe: Dark, romantic, cinematic. Your favorite restaurant at home.
📋 Click to expand prompt
/banana Redesign this dining area to feel moody and cinematic. Charcoal painted walls, a long live-edge wooden table, black leather dining chairs, a sculptural brass chandelier, and a large gold-framed mirror on one wall. Add candles and a moody still-life painting. Dim and intimate lighting.

```</code></pre></div></details>

7️⃣ The "Show Me Three Versions" Trick ⭐

Vibe: Not sure what style you want? Let Claude pitch you three at once. Game changer.
📋 Click to expand prompt
/banana Give me three completely different redesigns of this room. One modern minimalist, one warm mid-century, one moody and dark. Keep the existing floor and windows in every version. For each, tell me the vibe in one sentence before showing the image.

🔥 Pro Moves for Better Results

Move Why It Works
🎭 Name the feeling, not just the style "Feels like a Parisian apartment" beats "modern" every time
📌 Tell it what to keep Floors, rugs, specific pieces — Claude will design around them
💡 Describe the light "South-facing with tons of natural light" changes the entire mood
🏛️ Reference a real place "Like a Soho House lounge," "a Muji store," "a Santorini villa"
🔄 Always iterate First render is a starting point. One change at a time
🛍️ Ask for the shopping list Once you love a design, get every piece with prices + where to buy
🌙 Favorite pro move: After you generate a redesign, ask "now show me the same room at night with the lamps on." You see the exact same design at a different time of day — something even a real designer can't easily show you.
