How to Visualize an Outdated Kitchen Renovation with Claude
Visualize an Outdated Kitchen Renovation with Claude and ToolRouter. See your kitchen renovated in any style before committing to a contractor.
Tool
Claude is ideal for kitchen renovation visualization because the decision involves many overlapping choices — cabinets, worktops, flooring, lighting — and you will want to iterate through options and get a clear opinion on what is working before spending money.

Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Room Renovator tool:
- Share your kitchen photo and describe the style you want — for example, 'contemporary with handleless matte grey cabinets, quartz worktops, and herringbone tile splashback'.
- Ask Claude to run `renovate` via the room-renovator tool.
- Review the render and ask Claude what is working and what could change.
- Request a variation — a lighter palette, a different worktop material, or a contrasting island.
- Save the winning render to share with your kitchen fitter as a brief.
Example Prompt
Try this with Claude using the Room Renovator tool
Use room-renovator to renovate this 1990s kitchen into a contemporary design with handleless pale blue cabinets, white quartz worktops, gold tap and handles, and herringbone white tile splashback. Give me the render and suggest one material swap that would make it feel warmer.
Tips
- Name specific materials — 'quartz worktop', 'shaker cabinet', 'metro tile' — for tighter results than generic style names.
- Ask for a warm and a cool palette version to see which suits the room's natural light.
- Use Claude's critique to prioritise which elements to change in the next iteration.
