What is reference image style transfer?

It uses one image as the original scene and a second image as visual direction. The result keeps the original place while adapting compatible colors, materials, lighting, finishes, and design character from the reference.

Can the original and reference show different types of spaces?

Yes. The prompt analyzes both images independently. When their scene types differ, it transfers only compatible visual cues such as palette, material character, tonal contrast, and lighting mood instead of forcing unrelated objects or architecture into the result.

Will it copy the reference layout?

No. The reference guides the visual language, not the composition. The prompt tells the model to preserve the original camera, geometry, scale, subject placement, and spatial relationships.

What makes a good reference image?

Choose a clear image with a recognizable palette, materials, lighting, and overall character. A reference with a similar viewpoint or scene type can provide more literal guidance, but it is not required.

Do I need to choose the type of space?

No. The AI detects whether the original and reference show an interior, exterior, garden, or another designed space, then transfers only compatible visual cues.

Are the results ready for construction?

No. They are visual concepts for comparison and communication. Confirm dimensions, structure, products, planting, safety, and local requirements with qualified professionals.

Reference Image Style Transfer for Interior and Exterior Design

Match Your Image to a Reference

Add the original and reference, then choose how strongly the style should influence the protected scene.

Large files are optimized before upload.

The AI reads the reference palette, materials, lighting, and design language without copying its layout.

Borrow the look. Keep the place.

The original image defines what exists. The reference defines how it should feel. The model adapts only the visual cues that make sense for the original scene.

The original is the foundation

Composition, camera, geometry, scale, and spatial relationships remain the source of truth.

The reference is visual direction

Palette, materials, finish character, light, forms, and detail level guide the new look.

How to transfer a reference style

Add two images, optionally describe what matters most, and let the AI handle scene detection and structure protection.

Add the original

Upload the room, facade, garden, or designed space you want to restyle.

Choose the reference

Upload an image with the palette, materials, lighting, and character you want to borrow.

Add guidance (optional)

Add any colors, materials, or details you want the result to emphasize.

Generate the match

Create a coherent result that keeps the original scene while adopting compatible reference cues.

One reference, many useful directions

A general prompt makes the workflow useful even when the two images do not show the same kind of space.

Works across scene types

Use interiors, exteriors, gardens, patios, and other designed spaces without writing a category-specific prompt.

Protects the original place

The prompt prioritizes the source composition, camera, geometry, openings, massing, terrain, and spatial relationships.

Transfers style, not layout

The model borrows compatible color, materials, finish, light, and form language without cloning reference geometry.

Simple by design

Scene detection and structure protection happen automatically, so you only need to provide the two images.
