Swatchroom · for interior designers

Mood boards that
brief the AI.

Add a photo of the client's room. Collect the colours, textures and furniture you are considering. Swatchroom turns the board into a PDF, an image pack and a prompt, so ChatGPT can show you the room before you source a single sample.

1

The room

Upload the photo you took on site. It sits at the top of the board and stays unchanged in every render.

2

The materials

Drop your colours, textures and furniture onto a free-form board. Drag, resize and rotate them like loose prints, then sort each into walls, floor, fabrics and more. Give each a finish and a supplier. Take out the existing wall art, or hang a print from the Caddelle Gallery at its real size. Pin notes where you need them.

The brief

Export a numbered PDF and image pack with a ready-made prompt. Upload them to ChatGPT and see the room styled. See the steps.

From board to render, in ChatGPT

Swatchroom builds the brief. ChatGPT draws the room. Follow these steps once and it becomes routine.

  1. Build your board. Add the room photo, then your colours, textures, furniture and wall art. Give each a name and say where it goes, for example "above the sofa".
  2. Click Export and choose Download image pack (.zip). Tick "One change at a time" if you want slower, more accurate results.
  3. Open ChatGPT at chatgpt.com and start a new chat. You need to be signed in. Free accounts have a small daily limit on images, and paid plans have more.
  4. Drop the zip file into the chat and send. You do not need to type anything. The pack carries its own instructions, and ChatGPT will draw the room with your changes.
  5. Check the result against your original photo. Look for windows, doors and ceiling lines that moved. If something is wrong, tell ChatGPT exactly what to fix in the same chat.

Swatchroom is tested with ChatGPT only. Other AI tools do not reliably create the image from this kind of brief, so we do not recommend them for now. The A4 PDF, the one-page A3 board and the A3 board layout are for printing and for showing your client. They are not needed for ChatGPT.

AI renders are indicative only. They can shift windows, doors and proportions, and they cannot match a paint or fabric exactly. Use Swatchroom to explore directions with a client, then confirm real colours and textures with physical samples before final selection.
