Scandinavian living room with a gray sofa, knit throw, round oak coffee table, geometric rug, light oak floor, and green plants

What changed

See an empty carpeted room become a bright Scandinavian living room — light oak flooring, a soft gray sofa with a chunky knit throw and teal and blush cushions, a round oak coffee table on a geometric cream rug, and a wood-framed armchair beside leafy plants. White walls and plenty of daylight keep it airy, while warm wood and layered textiles add hygge. Upload your room photo for a free AI-generated Nordic redesign in seconds.

How to recreate this with your own photo

  1. 1Take a clear, level photo of your room in good daylight.
  2. 2Open AI Interior Design and upload it; the Scandinavian style is preselected.
  3. 3Add one or two instructions about what to keep or add, then generate.
  4. 4Compare with the slider and tweak one detail at a time until it feels right.
  • Stand in a corner and shoot across the room so two walls and the floor are visible.
  • Turn on the lights and open the curtains. Dark, grainy photos produce muddy results.
  • Keep the camera level; tilted photos produce tilted rooms.
