The Surprising Way ChatGPT Can Help You Decorate Your Home

Personalizing your decor is one of the best ways to make your home feel more like home. If you're looking for a quick and easy way to add personal touches to your space, try DIY-ing some stunning coasters. But curating larger artwork that is special to you can be time-consuming and expensive — commissioning paintings is pricey, and choosing which personal photographs to frame can be a chore.

That's why turning to ChatGPT is a great option for creating personalized artwork to adorn your walls. For example, if you want to generate a watercolor-like image of your home, simply upload the photo you'd like to work from and prompt ChatGPT to create a new image — all ChatGPT models, even the free one, can do this. It's important to be as specific as possible when prompting the AI image generator — choosing your words carefully, and even supplying an example of the style of art you'd like to emulate, will help to ensure a better result.

Commissioning a personalized watercolor painting or line sketch is a beautiful way to commemorate buying your first home or remembering the house where you grew up, but it can be costly. Instead, consider using ChatGPT. First, help it understand the task you're about to request, set the scene. We wrote, "Hi ChatGPT. I'd like you to generate a watercolor-style image of my home. I am going to upload a photo of the house. Based on the photo, please create a watercolor image of the house and landscaping (in color). Do you understand?"

When we entered this prompt, ChatGPT responded: "Yes, I understand! Please go ahead and upload a photo of your house, and I'll generate a watercolor-style image of it with the landscaping in color." Next, upload a photo of your home using the "+" icon, which opens a menu where you can select "Add photos & files." Select the photo you'd like to emulate from your file browser. ChatGPT then began creating the image. OpenAI advises that, depending on how complex the image request is, the process may take up to two minutes. 

Once ChatGPT has finished creating the image, you can either download it or refine it further. Remember to be specific in your instructions — for example, "Please recreate the image exactly as before, but in the style of Claude Monet." Artificial intelligence is good for more than just artwork, though — creating home renderings of potential interior design layouts is just one of the best ways to use ChatGPT for your home projects.
