Idea

The Prompted Interior is a structured, professional guide to AI-assisted interior design, translating ideas and references into rigorous concept briefs, photoreal interior visualisations, specification-ready material mood boards, and elegant motion studies.

What's Inside

Built around 5 modular workflows, this guide also includes the following Midjourney extras Two specifically created for interior design/interior design mood boards --p profiles | Full settings for all prompts | Seed library that is refined for interior design material mood boards.

Workflows

Workflow 01: Concept Curation

Info: Generates or refines interior space/room concepts, then translates them into a cohesive design narrative and ready-to-visualise prompts. Built to be modular: the three prompts can be run as a set or individually to complement other workflows.

Input: Text instructions (short or extensive)

Deliverables: A) Prompt 01 - Initial Instruction

• Establishes intent, role, and constraints.

B) Prompt 02 - Space Generator

• Full concept design narrative: materials, colour strategy, spatial logic, signature features, furniture and more.
• Two Midjourney prompts for hero interior shots that visualise the concept faithfully.

C) Prompt 03 - Board Narrative & Board Design

• Expands the scheme's materials, colours, finishes, textures, accents.
• Material mood board prompts in two styles: Abstract Realism and Stable Simplicity.

Workflow 02: Image to Mood Board

Info: Expands a single reference image into a structured design study analysing physical composition and sensory character to produce like-for-like imagery and a curated material mood board that faithfully reflects the reference.

Input: Text instructions; one or more reference images.

Deliverables:

• Full concept design narrative materials, colour strategy, spatial logic, signature features, furniture and more.
• Midjourney prompt for like-for-like image generation that honours the reference composition and tone.
• Two Midjourney prompts for:
  1. Similar visuals aligned to the reference;
  2. A material mood board reflecting both the brief and the reference image’s materials.

Workflow 03: Image to Image

Info: Maps the material/colour DNA of one or more reference images onto a white-card/clay render, producing coherent reinterpretations. Creates a concise concept summary and polished prompts for realistic outputs.

Input: Text instructions; blank clay/white base render and at least one reference image.

Deliverables:

• Base-image description detailing unique features, furniture intent, lighting cues, and constraints (without altering geometry).
• Full concept design narrative: materials, colours, signatures, furniture strategy, and atmosphere.
• Midjourney prompt (all settings) targeted to the base image.
• Three Midjourney prompts (with short and extended variants) for:
  1. Like-for-like reinterpretations of the reference applied to the base;
  2. A material interior mood board aligned to the mapped palette.

Workflow 04: Material Studies

Info: Turns up to four material inputs into an editorial, side-by-side board that tests cohesion, texture interplay, and colour balance in one clean composition.

Input: Text instructions.

Deliverables:

• Midjourney prompt that renders 2/3/4 side-by-side material boards with consistent scale, subtle shadows, and optional captions for easy comparison.

Workflow 05: Animated Images

Info: Packages prompts that add tasteful, subtle motion to still interiors and material mood boards.

Input: Text instructions; start frame or start/end frame images.

Deliverables:

• Short interior animations that add motion to hero stills.
• Animated mood boards suitable for reels, stories, and presentation decks.

Key Benefits

• Vague to Vivid: Rapidly converts vague ideas into concrete briefs and visuals.
• Controlled creativity: Tuned settings + seeds for repeatable, high-quality outputs.
• Modular by design: Use workflows independently or as a pipeline.
• Presentation-ready: Editorial mood boards and subtle animations out of the box.
• Time-smart: Default values work; advanced options unlock deeper control.

The collection of workflows for Interior Design and Interior Design Mood Boards was optimised for ChatGPT-5 Thinking and Midjourney v7.1, with some use of Google 2.5 Pro's Nano Banana image model. Version 01, October 2025.
