How to use AI kitchen design from a photo

Learn to restyle a kitchen photo: coordinate cabinets, walls, flooring and lighting, preserve the layout, and compare concepts before choosing materials.

Step 1. Upload your kitchen
Choose a clear, level photo showing the surfaces you want to change. Include windows, cabinets, counters and appliances; avoid heavy filters and extreme wide-angle distortion.
Step 2. Choose a style direction
Choose one of 8 style images, upload a reference or write Edit instructions. A style guides the whole room, including wall and floor finishes. Name anything to keep, or request just one change.
Step 3. Generate and review
Generate a concept, compare it with the original, and check cabinet divisions, sink location and window edges. Refine your instructions and keep useful variants in your generation history.
Step 4. Compare against the original
Compare the result with the original: room structure and main equipment positions should match, while requested doors, mirrors, lights and hardware may change style. Review reflections, then compare real samples and verify installation details.

Choose the style and the surface separately

Whole-room styling can change wall and floor finishes. If you ask to change only one item, check that everything else stays unchanged.

Instructions you can adapt

DirectionWhat to requestWhat to retain

Cabinets only

Change only cabinet fronts to matte sage green. Keep the counter, backsplash, floor, handles and appliances unchanged.

Use this to isolate a cabinet color decision.

Countertop only

Change only the countertop to a warm cream stone appearance with subtle veining. Keep its shape, thickness and sink position.

This is a material direction, not an exact slab specification.

Choose a style direction

For example: coordinate oak cabinet doors, cream counters, warm stone flooring and brass lights; keep the layout and appliances. Or ask to change only the cabinets.

Whole-room styling can change wall and floor finishes. If you ask to change only one item, check that everything else stays unchanged.

Check the details before choosing materials

A convincing image is a starting point for comparison. Review the room structure first, then decide which finish combinations deserve a physical sample.

CheckWhat to reviewNext step

Layout drift

Check that windows, sink, appliances and cabinet divisions are still in their original positions.

Use a clearer source and specify the surfaces to change. Discard concepts that relocate fixtures.

Edit scope

Whole-room styling can change wall and floor finishes. If you ask to change only one item, check that everything else stays unchanged.

Choose one of 8 style images, upload a reference or write Edit instructions. A style guides the whole room, including wall and floor finishes. Name anything to keep, or request just one change.

Color and texture

Screen colors and generated grain do not identify an exact paint, stone slab or tile product.

Compare real samples in the kitchen under daylight and your usual evening lights.

Buildability

A photo cannot establish dimensions, clearances, wiring, plumbing or structural feasibility.

Have a qualified professional verify measurements and installation details before purchasing or building.

AI kitchen design questions

Can AI help me design my kitchen?

Do I need a kitchen style template?

No. Use a template, upload a reference or write instructions. With only your room photo, the tool proposes a coordinated contemporary warm-neutral redesign. Templates are optional and removable.

Are the templates actual image references?

Yes. The selected style image is sent as image 2 alongside your room photo. Uploading your own reference replaces the template. It guides materials, cabinet-door profiles, mirrors, lights and hardware; the original photo supplies the structure and major equipment positions.

Can I change only cabinets or the backsplash?

Yes. Name the target surface in Edit instructions and say what to retain. For example: change only the cabinet fronts to muted olive; keep the countertop, backsplash, floor and appliances unchanged.

Will AI redesign the layout or give exact measurements?

This is a visual style preview with the room structure and main equipment positions retained. Existing decorative fittings may change style in place. It does not provide measured plans, CAD, installation specifications or construction approval. Check the result for unintended layout changes.

Is AI kitchen design free?

LumiYing uses credits for generation. Check the cost shown on Generate and the current pricing page. Loading an example only fills the inputs; it does not generate an image or spend credits.
