How to Change the Lighting Mood of a Room with ChatGPT
Change the Lighting Mood of a Room with ChatGPT and ToolRouter. Generate lighting renders with a specification ready to hand to your electrician or lighting designer.
Tool
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.

Steps
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
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
- 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.
