Interior Design Prompts: Room Visualization
Visualize room layouts, furniture styles, and decor themes with Nano Banana. Create photorealistic interior renders.
Interior design is about more than just furniture; it's about Atmosphere. Nano Banana can visualize complex room layouts, lighting schemes, and material combinations, helping you "try before you buy" for home renovations.
Understanding Interior Rendering
To get a photorealistic room, you need to define the Architectural Shell (windows, floors, walls) separately from the Decor (furniture, rugs, art). If you mix them up, the AI gets confused about scale.
SCANDINAVIAN LIVING ROOM
Let's start with the foundation example from the Product Visualization overview. Here is the complete, fully detailed prompt to generate the "SCANDINAVIAN LIVING ROOM".
Design a photorealistic living room interior. Architecture: - Style: Modern Scandinavian - Windows: Large floor-to-ceiling windows with sheer white curtains - Flooring: Light oak herringbone parquet - Walls: Soft off-white matte paint Furniture & Decor: - Sofa: Low-profile beige linen sectional - Coffee Table: Organic shape glass and wood table - Rug: Textured wool Berber rug - Accents: Potted fiddle leaf fig, abstract line art print Lighting & Atmosphere: - Light Source: Soft morning sunlight streaming in (volumetric) - Shadows: Long, soft shadows - Vibe: Airy, peaceful, minimalist, cozy (hygge)
Why This Works
The "Herringbone Parquet": Specific architectural details like "herringbone" or "wide plank" give the room structure and scale. Without them, floors look like flat color blocks.
The "Volumetric" Light: "Volumetric lighting" (or "god rays") adds dust and atmosphere to the air, making the empty space feel real and lived-in.
The "Linen" and "Wool": Mixing textures is key to Scandinavian design. Specifying "linen" vs. "wool" prevents the room from looking sterile or plastic.
Common Mistakes
Note:
Impossible Architecture: AI loves to put windows where they don't belong (like on a ceiling). Use "skylight" or "window on left wall" to constrain the architecture if it gets weird.
The Mid-Century Modern
Retro warmth and color.
Design a Mid-Century Modern living room. - Furniture: Teak sideboard, Eames lounge chair, orange velvet sofa - Walls: Walnut wood paneling feature wall - Flooring: Polished concrete with geometric rug - Palette: Warm wood, mustard yellow, teal - Lighting: Sputnik chandelier and floor lamps
Key Detail: Naming specific MCM furniture pieces (Eames lounge chair, teak sideboard) and using bold complementary colors (mustard, teal, warm wood) tells the AI this is a cohesive design era—not just random warm tones.
The Industrial Kitchen
Raw and edgy.
Visualize an industrial loft kitchen. - Architecture: Exposed brick walls, high ceilings, exposed ductwork - Cabinets: Matte black with brass handles - Shelving: Open pipe and wood shelves - Countertop: White marble island - Lighting: Edison bulb pendant lights - Vibe: Urban, edgy, spacious
Key Detail: Specifying raw architectural elements like "exposed brick" and "ductwork" grounds the space in industrial authenticity—without them, the matte black cabinets and Edison bulbs would just look like trendy styling without substance.
The Luxury Bathroom (Spa)
High-end relaxation.
Design a luxury spa bathroom. - **Feature**: Freestanding oval soaking tub - **Materials**: Grey slate stone tiles, teak wood floor mat - **Lighting**: Dim ambient lighting, candles - **View**: Window overlooking a bamboo garden - **Vibe**: Zen, relaxing, expensive
Key Detail: Using specific materials ("slate stone tiles," "teak wood") and sensory lighting cues (dim ambient + candles) tells the AI this is a luxury spa experience, not just a bathroom—the window view to a bamboo garden adds escape and tranquility to the overall atmosphere.
The Home Office (Productivity)
Functional workspace.
Design a modern home office setup. - **Desk**: Standing desk with dual monitors - **Chair**: Ergonomic mesh office chair - **Storage**: Built-in white bookshelves - **Decor**: Plants on shelves, warm desk lamp - **Lighting**: Bright daylight for productivity
The Bohemian Bedroom
Eclectic, cozy, and layered with global influences.
Design a bohemian bedroom interior. Architecture & Walls: - **Walls**: Warm terracotta with exposed wood beams - **Flooring**: Dark wooden planks with layered colorful rugs - **Windows**: Sheer curtains in warm cream Furniture & Textiles: - **Bed**: Carved wooden bedframe with layered bedding in rust, ochre, and cream - **Textiles**: Mixed pattern throw pillows, macramé wall hanging above bed - **Seating**: Vintage rattan chair with woven cushion Decor & Lighting: - **Plants**: Potted monstera, ferns, trailing ivy scattered around room - **Accents**: Vintage brass lanterns, ceramic vases, woven baskets - **Lighting**: Warm string lights, rattan pendant lamp, table lamps with aged brass bases - **Vibe**: Warm, inviting, worldly, layered texture
Key Detail: Bohemian spaces thrive on layering and mixing patterns. Specify "mixed pattern," "vintage," and "natural materials" to prevent the AI from making it look flat or overly coordinated. Bohemian is intentionally eclectic.
The Art Deco Dining Room
Glamorous, geometric, luxurious.
Design an Art Deco dining room. Architecture: - **Walls**: Black geometric wallpaper with gold metallic veining - **Accents**: Full-height mirrored feature wall reflecting chandelier - **Flooring**: Polished black and white marble in geometric pattern - **Ceiling**: Coffered with brass detailing Furniture & Setting: - **Table**: Polished white marble top with brass base - **Chairs**: Velvet upholstered in deep emerald, with brass nail head trim - **Chandelier**: Crystal and polished brass, geometric deco form - **Sideboard**: Lacquered black wood with chrome hardware and mirrored inlay Lighting & Decor: - **Lighting**: Warm downlighting bouncing off mirrors, accent lights on geometric wall - **Accents**: Gold candlesticks, fresh white flowers in tall vases, geometric vases - **Vibe**: Opulent, geometric, dramatic, sophisticated
Key Detail: Art Deco is about symmetry and geometry. Use words like "geometric," "mirrored," "brass," "marble," and "jewel tones" to evoke the era. The brass + marble + velvet combination is instantly recognizable.
The Japandi Study
Japanese minimalism meets Scandinavian warmth.
Design a Japandi study room. Architecture: - **Walls**: Light ash wood paneling with one accent wall in soft sage green - **Flooring**: Light wooden herringbone parquet - **Windows**: Shoji-inspired sliding screens with translucent panels Furniture: - **Desk**: Low, minimalist wooden desk in natural birch - **Chair**: Curved wooden chair with minimal cushioning in cream linen - **Storage**: Floating wooden shelves, wooden cabinet with sliding doors Decor & Materials: - **Rug**: Natural jute weave or subtle tatami texture - **Accents**: Single scroll artwork, bonsai tree in ceramic pot, smooth river stones - **Lighting**: Soft ambient from paper lantern fixtures, natural window light - **Vibe**: Peaceful, warm, intentional, grounded, natural materials
Key Detail: Japandi combines Japanese reduction with Scandinavian warmth. Use "natural materials," "light wood," and "soft" to balance minimalism with comfort. Avoid cold steel or harsh angles.
The Home Library
Sophisticated, book-filled, intellectual retreat.
Design a home library interior. Architecture: - **Walls**: Floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves in dark walnut - **Flooring**: Dark hardwood with warm area rug - **Ceiling**: Wood coffering with soft recessed lighting - **Feature**: Brass rolling library ladder on fixed rail Furniture & Seating: - **Reading Chair**: Deep leather wingback chair in cognac brown - **Ottoman**: Matching leather ottoman - **Side Table**: Walnut with brass lamp - **Desk**: Flat wooden library desk for note-taking Decor & Styling: - **Books**: Shelves densely filled with leather-bound volumes and modern paperbacks - **Lighting**: Warm brass reading lamp, recessed ceiling lights, fireplace glow (if applicable) - **Accents**: Brass bookends, globe, plants in corners, leather desk accessories - **Vibe**: Warm, intellectual, inviting, book-lover's sanctuary
Key Detail: Libraries need visual density and warm lighting. Specify "densely filled shelves," "brass," "leather," and "warm lighting" to prevent a sparse or sterile look. The rolling ladder is an iconic detail that reads as curated.
The Maximalist Master Suite
Bold, opulent, unapologetically layered.
Design a maximalist master bedroom. Architecture: - **Walls**: Rich jewel-tone patterned wallpaper (emerald, gold, burgundy damask) - **Ceiling**: Coordinating patterned wallpaper or deep velvet texture - **Flooring**: Layered area rugs in complementary colors (Persian over plush base) - **Feature**: Ornate crown molding in gold Bed & Upholstery: - **Headboard**: Tufted velvet in deep emerald with jewel-tone nail head trim - **Bedding**: Layered in clashing patterns - damask duvet, patterned throw pillows in mustard, wine, teal - **Throws**: Faux fur and velvet draped casually across bed and chairs Decor & Art: - **Walls**: Gallery wall of gold-framed artwork (paintings, mirrors, prints) - **Lighting**: Ornate brass chandelier, accent sconces, warm table lamps - **Furniture**: Tufted ottoman at foot of bed, velvet lounge chairs in contrasting colors - **Accessories**: Brass side tables, potted plants, decorative boxes, layered books - **Vibe**: Audacious, opulent, theatrical, unapologetically luxurious
Key Detail: Maximalism thrives on clashing colors, patterns, and textures. Use phrases like "jewel tones," "mixed patterns," "densely layered," and "unapologetically" to tell the AI this is intentionally busy—not a mistake.
