Redesign a Room in a New Style
Upload a photo of any room and get a photorealistic render showing how it would look in a completely different interior style.
Change the Lighting Mood of a Room
Swap the lighting in any room photo from flat daytime to warm evening, dramatic accent, or bright task lighting — without a reshoot.
Quick answer: Use the Interior Design tool through ToolRouter to change the lighting mood of a room directly from Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and OpenClaw — connect once, then drive it with plain-language prompts. No code required.
ToolLighting transforms how a space feels, but testing different lighting setups requires an electrician, a stylist, and a photographer. Most property photos are taken in whatever light was available, which is rarely the light that makes the space look its best.
Interior Design lets you change the lighting conditions in any room photo — shift from a flat midday look to warm evening lamplight, add dramatic accent lighting to a living room, or make a kitchen read as bright and functional. No physical changes needed.
This is used by estate agents who want to show the same property at different times of day, interior designers who want to demonstrate a lighting scheme before installation, and short-let hosts who want evening photos that match the warmth their guests actually experience.
How to change the lighting mood of a room with Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and OpenClaw
Claude is the right choice when you want to compare multiple lighting moods and get a clear opinion on which works best for the intended use — whether that is a calm bedroom, an energetic kitchen, or a welcoming entrance hall.

How to change the lighting mood of a room with Claude
Once connected (see setup above), use the Interior Design tool:
- Share the room photo and describe the lighting mood you want — for example, 'warm evening with soft lamplight and no overhead fluorescents'.
- Ask Claude to run `change_lighting` via the interior-design tool.
- Review the output and ask Claude what is working and what is not.
- Request a second lighting mood for comparison — brighter task lighting, daylight, or dramatic accent.
- Choose the version that best matches the space's purpose and save it.
Example prompt for Claude
Try this with Claude using the Interior Design tool
Use interior-design with change_lighting to shift this dining room from its current flat midday look to a warm, intimate evening atmosphere with candlelight and soft pendant lighting. Give me the render and tell me which lighting setup would suit a dinner party most.
Tips for Claude
- Describe the feeling you want, not just a technical setup — 'cosy and inviting' gives better results than '2700K warm white'.
- Compare a daytime and evening version of the same room to see which photographs better for your listing.
- Use Claude's critique to decide if the lighting change alone is enough or if you also need a colour or furniture tweak.
ChatGPT is useful when the lighting render needs to come with a specification. Generate the visual and immediately have ChatGPT describe the fixture types, positions, and colour temperatures needed to achieve the look in real life.

How to change the lighting mood of a room with ChatGPT
Once connected (see setup above), use the Interior Design tool:
- Provide the room photo and the intended mood or function — entertaining, working, relaxing.
- Run `change_lighting` via interior-design to generate the updated room render.
- Ask ChatGPT to describe the lighting setup shown and write a brief specification for an electrician.
- Request a second lighting scenario for comparison if needed.
Example prompt for ChatGPT
Try this with ChatGPT using the Interior Design tool
Use interior-design with change_lighting to transform this home office from harsh overhead lighting to a warm, layered setup with desk task lighting and ambient wall lights. Return the render and write a brief lighting spec I can hand to an electrician.
Tips for ChatGPT
- Include the room's primary function — working, entertaining, sleeping — so the lighting type is appropriate.
- Ask ChatGPT to list fixture types and approximate positions so the spec is actionable, not just descriptive.
- A lighting render plus a written spec gives an electrician everything they need to quote the job.
Copilot is useful when lighting renders are part of a design report or property specification. Generate the visuals and integrate them into a report or presentation alongside written rationale without switching tools.

How to change the lighting mood of a room with Copilot
Once connected (see setup above), use the Interior Design tool:
- Provide the room photo and the design brief — what the space is used for and the desired atmosphere.
- Run `change_lighting` via interior-design to generate the lighting render.
- Ask Copilot to write a design rationale for the lighting scheme and embed it alongside the render.
- Output the render and rationale in a report-ready format.
Example prompt for Copilot
Try this with Copilot using the Interior Design tool
Use interior-design with change_lighting to show this retail fitting room under flattering warm accent lighting rather than the current harsh overhead strip lights. Return the render and write a short rationale explaining why this lighting will improve the customer experience.
Tips for Copilot
- Frame the rationale around the end user's experience, not just the aesthetic, for design reports.
- Match the render to the room's actual fixture positions where possible so the document stays credible.
- Pair the render with a before-photo to make the improvement clear in presentations.
OpenClaw is the right choice when you need to produce multiple lighting scenarios across multiple rooms — for example, a full property shown in both daytime and evening conditions for a sales pack or short-let listing.

Once connected (see setup above), use the Interior Design tool:
- Build your input list — one row per room photo with the target lighting mood for each.
- Run `change_lighting` via interior-design across the full batch.
- Review the set and re-run any rooms where the lighting did not match the brief.
- Deliver the complete set organized by room and lighting scenario.

Use interior-design with change_lighting to produce evening lighting renders for these six rooms across a luxury holiday let — living room, kitchen, dining room, master bedroom, guest bedroom, and bathroom. Use warm, ambient lighting throughout. Match output filenames to the originals.
Tips for OpenClaw
- Define the lighting mood once in the batch parameters and apply it consistently so the property feels cohesive.
- Produce daytime and evening versions in separate batch runs so you can mix them in the final listing.
- Flag rooms with no natural light sources in the input — they need a different lighting approach.
