How does the LUMI room planner work?
LUMI turns one photo of your room into one design image after you choose a room type and style. Add a short description to guide the look, then compare the result with your original photo. Use it to discuss color, mood and furniture direction; check dimensions and fixed details in the real space before making changes.

Begin with a useful photo
Photograph the room in daylight, with walls, windows and some floor visible. A wide view gives the room planner more context than a close-up. Move clutter if it hides features you want to keep. Compare the generated image with the original before treating any detail as accurate.
Describe your furniture goals
Tell the room planner whether you want calmer seating, lighter furniture or more storage. Mention a sofa or table in the optional description to guide the image. If you need a room furniture planner that places an exact product at an exact size, use a measured layout tool; LUMI generates a visual idea.
Choose a direction, then inspect it
Select a room type and a style such as Scandinavian or Japandi. The room planner uses those choices with your photo to create one perspective image. Inspect doors, windows, walkways and fittings: generated images can reinterpret them. Verify the room layout before you buy or renovate.
Make and compare new designs
Each generation costs one credit and produces one result. Try another style or refine your description for a different take. Change one thing at a time so you can tell which choice made the difference. Finished images stay in your account history for revisiting and downloading. Note what worked in each design so the room planner helps you narrow your choices.
What can this room planner help you decide?
This room planner helps you compare visual directions in your own space, such as a warmer palette, less clutter or a different furniture mood. It cannot confirm fit, cost or buildability. Use each image to frame the practical questions you need to check next.
See style in a familiar setting
A catalog photograph shows someone else's windows and light. Your photo gives the room planner a more relevant starting point. Compare a new style with the original: Does a pale wall work in this daylight? Would fewer dark pieces make the space feel open? Note which visible features stayed recognizable and which changed. Check architectural details because AI may change or invent them.
3D room planner or visual preview?
A 3D room planner builds a model you can move around or measure. LUMI creates one perspective image from a room photo; it has no rotating model or scaled drawing. Use the image to test how a design feels from the camera's viewpoint. For cabinet clearance, door swings and furniture fit, use measurements and a technical planning tool.
Know when dimensions matter
If you need a room planner with dimensions, measure walls and furniture before buying. Record windows, sockets, door clearances and walking space. A generated image can suggest how a smaller table might feel, but cannot prove it will fit. Save the idea, then confirm dimensions with a tape measure, floorplan and product specifications.

How do you use the room planner?
Use the room planner in four steps: sign in, upload one photo, choose a room type and style, then review and save the result. It supports early visual decisions in a bedroom, living room or home office. If you need measured room layouts, start with a floorplan editor and keep your dimensions nearby.
Sign in and choose a room
Sign in and choose a space to change. New accounts automatically receive 2 free credits once their email is verified. Each room planner request spends one credit; free results include a watermark that a later purchase does not remove. Choose one question for your first design, such as whether lighter materials would make a bedroom feel calmer.
Upload one room photo
Choose a JPEG, PNG or WebP under 10 MB. Show enough space to understand its shape and features. Avoid a heavily cropped view that hides the doorway or the furniture you are considering changing. The room planner accepts one photo; it does not combine a floorplan with separate furniture images. Check the view before submitting.
Select a type, style and goal
Choose the room type and style, then optionally describe color, storage or atmosphere. A request such as “lighter walls, keep the wooden floor” gives clearer direction than “make it beautiful.” Be specific, while remembering that the room planner returns an image rather than a build plan. Inspect the result, then make another request to test a different direction.
Review and save the result
Find finished designs in your history and download the images you want to keep. Compare each room planner image with your original photo and measurements. Show a favorite to a friend, designer or contractor as a visual reference, then check materials, sizes and changes to fixed parts of the room.

Which room planner features are available?
LUMI lets you upload a room photo, choose a room type and style, add instructions and save finished images. These features support visual exploration before you commit money or time; measurements and product specifications still need to be checked separately.
A photo-based room visualizer
Use your own room instead of a generic example. The room planner draws context from the photo, although it cannot guarantee exact proportions or architectural details.
Style and room type choices
Pick a preset style and room function. An optional description can add preferences such as warm wood or a quieter palette to the request.
Room layout ideas
Describe a seating or storage goal and inspect the image. It may suggest furniture placement, but confirm scale and circulation before acting on a room layout. Mark out the proposed furniture footprint on the floor to see whether people can still move comfortably.
Free room planner tool to try
Looking for a room layout planner free to try? New accounts automatically receive 2 free credits once their email is verified. Each generation costs one credit, free results carry a watermark that a later purchase does not remove, and paid credits support further exploration.
One clear result per request
Each request makes one design image. Inspect it before spending another credit, and adjust your description or style if the result misses your goal.
History and downloads
Revisit finished images in your history and download one for reference. Keep a separate list of dimensions and products to turn a visual idea into a practical plan.
Room planner questions
How many credits does a design cost?
A room planner request costs one credit. New accounts automatically receive 2 free credits once their email is verified. See the pricing page for available credit packs and template plans.
Which photos can I upload?
Upload a single JPEG, PNG or WebP photo under 10 MB. Choose a room type and style and optionally describe your preferences. The result is a visual idea, not a measured building plan.
When do results include a watermark?
Results made with free credits include a watermark. Results paid for with purchased credits have no watermark. A later purchase does not remove watermarks from existing results. Find your finished images in your private history.

Choose a room you want to rethink and upload one clear photo. The room planner can help you explore a style before you rearrange furniture or shop for it. Keep the result as inspiration, compare it with the real space, and confirm measurements and materials before making a final decision. A useful first test is a single change you can recognize immediately, such as a lighter wall or a different sofa color.
