How to Get the Best Results By Refining

Refine is how you change a design after it's been generated.

You describe what you want in the chat, and keep the conversation going until the room looks right. Every message creates a new version, and nothing you've already made gets overwritten, so you can always go back.

Refinements don't use credits. You can make as many as you like, as long as you have at least 1 credit left on your account.

This guide covers how to get accurate results from it.

Two ways to ask for a change

Type it. Describe the change in the chat box and send it.

Pin it. Tap the spot in your design you're talking about, then describe the change.

Pinning is worth using whenever the location matters. There are three situations where it makes a real difference:

When there's more than one of something. If your design has four cushions and you only want one changed, pin it rather than trying to explain which one you mean. Same goes for two lamps, three chairs, or a wall you can only describe as "the one on the left".

When you know where something should go. Pin the empty corner and ask for a floor lamp there, and it goes exactly where you pointed instead of wherever the AI decides looks best.

When you want to be certain you've been understood. Even with only one sofa in the room, pinning it removes any doubt about what you're referring to. It costs you a tap.

You can pin one spot at a time, and the pin clears once you've sent your message. If you want to make a second change to the same object, just pin it again.

Typing on its own works fine for changes where position isn't important, like adjusting a wall colour or asking for a warmer overall feel.

How to Write Great Instructions

To get the most accurate result, give the AI a clear and simple instruction for what you want changed. Here’s how:

1. Use Clear, Direct Action Words

The AI understands editing commands best when you use action verbs like:

• Change (for color or material updates):
  “Change the wall color to light grey.”

• Add (to place new items):
  “Add a tall plant next to the TV unit.”

• Remove (to take something out):
  “Remove the desk from the corner.”

• Replace/Swap (for item upgrades):
  “Replace the dining chairs with black modern ones.”

• Move/Shift (to reposition):
  “Move the armchair closer to the window.”

2. Be Specific. Name the Item and the Change

If you're not pinning, be specific about what you're pointing at.

Rather than "change the sofa", try "change the navy sofa on the right to a neutral beige". Rather than "change the rug", try "change the rug under the coffee table to something patterned".

3. One or two changes at a time

You'll get more accurate results asking for one or two things per message than listing six. If you want to change six things, send six messages. It's quicker than it sounds, it doesn't cost you anything, and you get to see each change land before deciding on the next one.

4. Show it a reference image

If a change is easier to show than describe, add an image into the chat.

This works well for things where the words start to fail you. A particular shade of green, a chair shape you've seen and liked, the exact weave of a rug. Add the image, then say what you want done with it: "Use this rug instead of the current one", or "match the wall colour to this".

Pinning works alongside it. Pin the chair you want swapped, add a photo of the one you want instead, and send both together.

5. It remembers what you've already said

Refine Mode holds the whole conversation, so you're not starting from scratch every time. If you've already asked for a warmer palette, you can follow up with "now make the cushions match" and it knows what you mean.

Two things worth knowing:

If you change your mind about something, say so directly rather than assuming it will work it out. "Actually, go back to the darker rug" is clearer than "hmm, not that one".

If a thread has gone on a long while and results start drifting, it's often faster to jump back to an earlier version than to keep correcting.

6. Going back to an earlier version

Every version you've made sits in a row underneath your design, starting with your original. Click any of them to bring it back up, or use View all to see them together if the list has grown long. You can also scroll back through the chat and pick up a design from there.

Once you're on an earlier version, just keep chatting. Your new result gets added to the end of the row, so nothing is lost and you can jump between versions freely.

This is the fix for the classic problem of three good refinements followed by one that ruins it. You don't have to undo anything. Go back to the last version you liked and take it a different way.

7. Design analysis and advice

The Analysis tab sits next to Chat and Architecture. It holds the written breakdown of your room, with advice on what's working and what you might want to reconsider.

It's worth reading before you start making changes. If the analysis flags that your seating is floating awkwardly or your lighting is doing all its work from one corner, that's usually a better starting point for your first few refinements than whatever you'd have thought of on your own.

8. Troubleshooting

The wrong item changed. Pin it and try again. This is exactly what pinning is for.

Too much of the room changed. Add "keep everything else the same" to your instruction, and pin the object if you haven't already.

Nothing seems to have happened. Removals and moves are the hardest things to get right, and while they're far more reliable than they used to be, they're not perfect. Try phrasing it more simply, or break it into a smaller step.

You can't describe what you want. Add a reference image instead.

The design has drifted away from what you wanted. Go back to an earlier version rather than trying to correct your way forward.

Quick Templates

• “Change the [object/area] to [new description].”

• “Add a [new item] near [location].”

• “Remove the [object] from the [location].”

• “Move the [object] to [new position].”

• “Replace the [object] with [new description], keep everything else the same.”

What Refine Mode is good at

• ✅ Perfect for: Colour and material swaps, adding and removing furniture or decor, replacing items, repositioning, and overall style changes.

• ❌ Not for: Big structural changes. If the AI has given your room a window that isn't there, or the layout doesn't match your actual space, switch to the Architecture tab next to Chat and click Match my room there. Refine Mode is for what's in the room, not the shape of the room itself.

If you've used Tweak or Transform before

Both have been retired and replaced by Refine Mode. It now makes changes much more accurately. Small edits and full style changes both go through the same chat, and your existing designs and refinements are all still there.
