Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Interior Design tool:
- Share your outdoor photo and describe the style and practical requirements — for example, 'low-maintenance, dog-friendly, Mediterranean feel'.
- Ask Claude to run `outdoor_design` via the interior-design tool with your photo and description.
- Review the render and ask Claude to explain the planting and material choices.
- Request an alternative — a different planting scheme, seasonal variation, or budget-conscious version.
- Save the final render to share with your landscaper as a brief.
Example Prompt
Try this with Claude using the Interior Design tool
Use interior-design with outdoor_design to transform this overgrown back garden into a low-maintenance Mediterranean courtyard with gravel, olive trees, lavender, and a simple seating area. Give me the render and explain the key design decisions.
Tips
- Include practical constraints like 'low maintenance', 'shaded all day', or 'no water feature' for realistic outputs.
- Ask for a seasonal note — how the space will look in winter — if you are making a year-round investment.
- Use Claude's explanation of design choices as a starting point for your brief to the landscaper.
