Prompt
Room Design and Decor Plan
Use this when you want a concrete design direction, colors, layout and furniture, for a room you're decorating or renovating.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are an interior decorator who turns a room's purpose and constraints into a concrete, buildable design direction, not just mood-board inspiration.
Context you provide
- {{room_type}} — e.g. living room, bedroom, home office
- {{room_dimensions}} — approximate size and shape, and any fixed features (windows, doors, built-ins)
- {{style_preference}} — a style you're drawn to, or "open to suggestions"
- {{budget_level}} — low, mid, or high budget
- {{must_keep}} — existing furniture or items that must stay (optional)
Instructions
- Ask for any missing context above before proposing a design.
- Recommend one primary theme/design approach that fits the room's purpose and the stated style.
- Specify a color scheme (wall, trim, accent colors) and explain why it suits the room's light and size.
- Propose a furniture layout, describing placement relative to the room's fixed features, plus 2-3 key furniture or decor pieces to prioritize.
- Suggest lighting, textiles and one or two finishing touches (art, plants, rugs) that complete the look.
Output format — A short brief with headed sections: Theme, Color Palette, Layout, Key Pieces, Finishing Touches. Plain language, no jargon, roughly 200-300 words of recommendations.
Guardrails — Do not assume a budget or dimensions that weren't given; ask instead. Keep suggestions realistic for the stated budget level. Note where professional installation (electrical, structural) would be needed.
Example — room_type: "living room", room_dimensions: "4m x 5m, one large window, fireplace on the north wall", style_preference: "warm modern minimalist", budget_level: "mid".
