How to use the studio.

Upload a photo of any room — or any garden, patio or balcony — describe the look you want in a sentence, and turn the result into a short animated walkthrough. This guide covers the full flow, including gardens and how to change or remove individual items with nothing but a prompt.

The pipeline

Three steps, one page

Everything follows the step rail at the top of the studio:

01 — Upload a room or garden. Drag a photo (JPEG, PNG, or WebP) into the “Bring a room or garden in” dropzone, or click it to browse. The studio notices whether the photo is indoors or outdoors and switches mode for you.
02 — Redesign. Describe the look you want and generate design variants.
03 — Animate. Turn any still into a cinematic video walkthrough.

The top-right corner shows your credit balance. You can try a free preview without an account; signing in with Google grants 6 free credits.

Step 02 — Redesign

Redesigning a room with a prompt

After uploading, pick a style chip (sixteen styles, from Scandinavian, Japandi and Mid-century to Bohemian, French country and Maximalist) — each applies a full professional design brief that keeps your room's structure intact — and optionally add details in the “How should it look?” box. Or skip the chips and type a fully custom prompt. Before generating, pick how many variants (1–4) you want and the resolution — 1K is cheaper, 2K is sharper. Then click Redesign room.

Full restyles

Describe a whole new look — a style, materials, and lighting work best. A detailed prompt gives the AI clear direction while keeping the room’s structure:

Redesign as a mid-century modern room — walnut, a green velvet sofa, tapered legs, warm lamp light. Do not change structural sizing. Keep doors and windows of the same size.

The studio showing a room redesigned in mid-century modern style, with the prompt in the Step 02 panel — A mid-century modern restyle. Note the structure-preserving instructions at the end of the prompt.

The same room can go in a completely different direction just by changing the sentence:

The same room redesigned in a coastal style with pale woods and soft daylight — The same room, redesigned as a coastal space.

Tip: if you want the architecture untouched, say so explicitly — e.g. “Do not change structural sizing. Keep doors and windows the same size.”

Changing a single item

You don’t have to redesign everything. Prompts can target one object and leave the rest of the room alone:

Change the rug with something more contemporary

The studio after swapping only the rug via a targeted prompt — Only the rug changes — the rest of the room stays as designed.

Removing items

Removal works the same way — tell the AI what to take out, and optionally what to bring in:

Remove the fan and bring in some matching hanging, small plant pots

The room with the ceiling fan removed and hanging plant pots added — Remove and replace in a single prompt.

To clear the space entirely, just ask:

Empty the room

The same room emptied of all furniture — An emptied room makes a great blank canvas — redesign from this still in any style.

Iterating with Design history

Every image from your session — the original plus each variant — appears in the “Design history” strip. Click any thumbnail to make it the active image, then redesign again from it (Redesign from this still) or animate it. Chaining edits works well: restyle → change the rug → remove the fan, each building on the last. Click Original at any time to get back to your untouched photo, and drag the before/after slider on any variant to compare it with the original.

Step 02 — Gardens & outdoor

Redesigning a garden, patio or balcony

The studio has two modes, switched with the Indoor room / Garden & outdoor toggle at the top of the panel. Upload an outdoor photo and it switches itself; you can also flip it by hand. Outdoor mode swaps the chips for nine garden styles (Modern landscape, Mediterranean, Japanese Zen, Tropical oasis, English cottage, Desert xeriscape, Coastal, Gulf courtyard and Desert modern), six space types (backyard, front yard, patio / terrace, balcony / rooftop, pool area, courtyard) and outdoor add-ons such as seating, shade, a fire pit, a water feature, evening lighting and planters.

Outdoor designs treat your photo as the ground truth for the plot: the house, walls, windows, doors, fences, pool, paths and mature trees stay where they are and only the landscaping changes — planting, paving, lighting and outdoor furniture. The camera angle stays the same, so the before/after comparison lines up.

The studio in garden mode showing a small back garden redesigned in English cottage style, with the outdoor style and space chips in the panel — A back garden photographed at night, redesigned as an English cottage garden. The house, door, windows and fence are unchanged.

Mixing indoor and outdoor chips isn't allowed — switching the toggle clears the selection so the two never combine. Custom text works exactly as it does indoors: “add a pergola over the seating”, “replace the lawn with gravel and lavender”, “clear the weeds and repair the fence”.

Step 02 — Precise edit

Changing one thing, and nothing else

A prompt like “change the rug” usually works, but the whole image is regenerated, so small details elsewhere can shift. Precise edit is the exact tool: switch to it in the panel, paint over the part of the photo you want changed, type what should be there, and click Edit the marked area. Only the painted area is replaced; every pixel outside your marks is copied from the original, so the rest of the room is guaranteed unchanged.

The studio in Precise edit mode: a sofa painted over with a translucent brush and the instruction 'a dark green velvet sofa' in the panel — Paint, describe, edit. The brush comes in three sizes; Undo removes the last stroke.

It costs one credit, like a redesign variant, and the result lands in your history with the compare slider ready. Good uses: swap one piece of furniture, change a floor or a wall, replace a kitchen hood or a light fitting, or clear a single corner. Paint generously around the object — the edit needs room to blend — and describe the replacement, not the removal: “a slim brushed-steel extractor hood” rather than “remove the hood”. You need to be signed in; the free preview doesn't cover it.

Step 03 — Animate

Animating a walkthrough

With an image selected, set up the video: pick a camera motion preset (slow cinematic, smooth dolly, gentle orbit, slow tilt) or type your own, set the duration (1–8 seconds), and choose a video resolution — 480p is cheapest, 1080p is sharpest. Lower resolution and shorter clips cost less; the final cost is metered per second of video.

The Step 03 Animate panel with motion presets, duration slider and resolution dropdown, with the My Generations gallery below — The Animate panel — and below it, My Generations, where every still and video is saved.

Click Animate walkthrough. The video renders asynchronously — the still transitions into a progress panel:

The rendering walkthrough progress overlay showing 62 percent — Rendering in progress. This takes a moment — the video is generated asynchronously.

When it finishes, the walkthrough plays inline with Download video, Copy link, and Start over actions. Start over wipes your Design history strip, so finish iterating first.
