New to this? What's a prompt?

A prompt is the message you send to the AI tool. Copy the one on this page, put your own details where it asks, and read the answer before you act on it.

Prompt

Recreated prompt

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote one from what it describes. The result shown is the source's, not ours.

What the prompt labels mean

The person didn't share their exact words, so we wrote this from what they described. We haven't tested it, and they didn't use this exact version.

Here is a rough sketch of our new master bedroom layout and some inspiration photos. Turn the sketch into a clean floor plan, then render the room from each wall using [WOOD TYPE, CUT AND FINISHES]. Keep the layout and dimensions the same in every view so we can show our contractor exactly what we have in mind.

Optional stronger version

Our rewrite with extra checks. The poster didn't test it.

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about the details below and wait for my answers. Once I've answered, confirm the plan in one line and run the whole task start to finish.

Goal: Clear pictures of our planned room to share with the contractor.

Questions to ask me first:
- What are the room's dimensions and fixed features?
- Which materials and finishes have you chosen?
- What should each view show?

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Sketch and dimensions: [UPLOAD, MEASUREMENTS]
- Materials: [WOOD, CUT, FINISHES]
- Inspiration images: [UPLOADS]
- Views needed: [EACH WALL, FLOOR PLAN]

Rules:
- Keep windows, doors and dimensions fixed across all images.
- Use only the materials we chose.
- Label each image with the wall it shows.
- Flag anything in the design that may need a structural or code check.

Checkpoint: Show the floor plan for approval before rendering the walls.

If you get stuck: If the sketch is ambiguous, ask rather than inventing features.

Verify before you finish: Every render matches the approved floor plan.

Output: A floor plan and one labeled render per wall.

Done when: Our contractor understands the look we want.

Outcome

Instead of hiring a designer, Jonah Wolfraim and Wolfraim's wife used ChatGPT to bring their vision for a new master bedroom to life. They sketched the basic layout, which ChatGPT rendered into a floor plan, picked the wood, the type of cut and the finishes, and talked through what the room should look like from each side. They gathered inspiration pictures from Google Images and Pinterest for smaller details and used ChatGPT Voice for back-and-forth tweaks, re-rendering the images as their ideas developed. They took the final images to their contractor to show the higher-level vision for the room.
