Turn Ultron into your interior designer

Ultron can redesign any room from a single photo and tell you exactly what to buy, so you can plan the whole space before you spend a dollar.

Turn Ultron into your personal interior designer in 3 minutes

By the end of this guide you'll have

This is the setup to plan rooms before you spend a dollar.

Part 1: The 3-step setup (one-time, a few minutes)

Ultron generates images natively, so there is nothing external to bolt on and no API keys to manage. You switch on its design capability and point it at a room photo.

Step 1: Open Ultron

• Open Ultron.

• Switch to its build and design mode.

Step 2: Turn on the design skill

• Type: enable the design skill

• Wait for the confirmation. Done.

Step 3: Upload your room photo

• Take a clear, well-lit photo of the room.

• Upload it into Ultron.

• Type: set this up as the room I want to redesign

You only have to do this once per room.

Privacy note: Your photos and designs stay inside your own Ultron workspace. The free allowance is generous, you would have to redesign hundreds of rooms before you hit any limit.

Part 2: The master prompt

Every redesign starts with this base formula. Customise the bits in [brackets] and you're good to go.

Upload your room photo to Ultron and paste:

Why this works: Ultron gives the best results when you give it a clear anchor (the existing room), a clear change scope (what's allowed to change), and a clear feeling (not just a style name).

Part 3: The 12-style library

Just swap [style name] in the master prompt with any of these. Each one has the exact words I'd use to describe it to Ultron, that level of specificity is what gets you redesigns that don't look generic.

Cosy & warm

• Modern Japandi: neutral palette, light woods, soft linen, low-profile furniture, minimal but warm

• Cosy Farmhouse: cream walls, woven textures, vintage finds, dried flowers, terracotta accents

• Warm Minimalism: beige + ivory + soft brown, one statement piece, lots of negative space

• Coastal Grandmother: slipcovered linen sofa, blue-and-white ceramics, woven baskets, soft natural light

Bold & editorial

• Dark Academia: deep green or burgundy walls, brass fixtures, leather, books as decor, moody lighting

• Modern Industrial: exposed materials look, matte black metal, concrete textures, leather sofa, Edison-style bulbs

• Maximalist Eclectic: layered patterns, jewel tones, gallery wall, mixed-era furniture, plants everywhere

• Mid-Century Modern: walnut wood, mustard + teal accents, tapered legs, geometric rug

Calm & feminine

• Soft French Apartment: cream walls, antique mirror, ruffled linen, fresh florals, pale wood floors

• Quiet Luxury: tonal palette (one colour family), high-quality textures, no logos, restrained styling

• Garden Room: botanical wallpaper or murals, rattan, ferns and fiddle-leaf figs, vintage botanical prints

• Korean Minimalist: pale oak, off-white walls, single ceramic vase, soft cotton bedding, low bed frame

Part 4: The Budget-Friendly Refresh

Use this when: you don't want to replace your furniture. You just want the room to feel different.

This prompt tells Ultron to do all the heavy lifting through paint, textiles, lighting, and small decor, the cheap stuff.

Upload your room photo to Ultron and paste:

Why this is the best prompt in the guide: Ultron doesn't just show you a pretty picture, it tells you what to actually buy and in what order. Most people skip the priority ordering. That's where the value is.

Pro tip: Take the redesign Ultron generates and screenshot it before you go shopping. Use it as your reference image so you don't get distracted by every cute thing at Kmart.

Part 5: The Rental-Friendly Redesign

Use this when: you rent. You can't paint. You can't drill. You can't damage anything. Bond on the line.

This prompt forces Ultron to only suggest things you can install and remove without leaving a mark.

Upload your room photo to Ultron and paste:

Why this works: Most rental design content is generic ("just add plants!"). This prompt gives you a reversibility plan, which is the actual hard part of decorating a rental.

Pro tip: Ask a follow-up: "Now show me the same room with the lights off and just the lamps on." That's the most flattering view of any room and it tells you if the lighting plan actually works.

Part 6: Power-user prompts (the next level)

Once you've done a basic redesign, layer these in for genuinely impressive results.

A. The lighting test

B. The colour palette extraction

C. The "make it more me" prompt

D. The seasonal swap

E. The "what would [X] do" prompt

Part 7: Pro tips that 95% of people skip

• Take the photo in good light. Open all the curtains. Turn on every lamp. Ultron can only redesign what it can see clearly. Bad photo = vague redesign.

• Stand in the doorway, phone at eye level. Wide-angle, full-room shots beat tight crops. Ultron needs to see the room's geometry.

• Empty the room first if you can. Or at least move laundry and clutter out of frame. Ultron designs around what it sees, including the mess.

• Always ask for the same camera angle. Add this line to any prompt: "Show me from the same angle as my original photo." Otherwise Ultron rotates the room and you can't compare.

• Iterate, don't restart. Don't keep generating new rooms. Take one redesign you like and say: "Now make the sofa green instead of beige." You'll get to "perfect" 5x faster.

• Ask for the why. End any redesign prompt with: "Explain in 3 bullets why this style works for this room's natural light and proportions." You'll learn design principles instead of just collecting pictures.

• Save your favourites with a name. Keep a note titled "Living Room v3, warm minimal" and screenshot the prompt + image. You'll thank yourself in 6 months.

Part 8: Troubleshooting

"My redesigns look fake / cartoony."

Add this to your prompt: "Photorealistic, natural lighting, real-world textures, magazine editorial quality. No CGI look."

"It changed my window/door placement and now I'm confused."

Add: "The walls, windows, and doors must stay in exactly the same position as the original photo."

"It keeps showing me the same beige minimalist room no matter what I ask for."

You're being too vague. Pick one specific style from the Part 3 library and use the exact descriptive words listed for it.

"I want to redesign just one corner, not the whole room."

Use: "Redesign only the [reading nook / bed area / desk corner] in the bottom-left of this photo. Keep everything else identical."

"The redesign looks great but the furniture isn't realistic for my budget."

Add: "Only suggest furniture I can actually buy from IKEA, Target, Kmart, Amazon, or Facebook Marketplace. No designer-only brands."

You did it.

You now have a setup most people will never bother with, and the prompts to actually use it well.
