Interior design AI rendering from SketchUp and prompts by Mia

Mia is an interior designer who shares tools she uses in practice on her channel. She says she has started using Rendair in her day-to-day work to present ideas to clients. In this video she gives a tour of the platform and then works on two interior briefs: a hotel bedroom inspired by a Mediterranean-style reference, and a penthouse living room she modeled in SketchUp. It is a useful watch if you are an interior designer wondering how the settings affect your results.

What you'll see

1. A tour of the platform: the community gallery for inspiration, video tutorials, the create, edit, upscale and video sections, and Chat.
2. Text to Render with a realistic style. She writes a description of her reference image with help from a separate chatbot, keeps creativity in the middle, and picks a horizontal 3:2 format.
3. Select and Modify with a lasso selection to change the bed's headboard to a rattan design, at lower creativity.
4. A short explanation of Elevation to Render and Sketch to Render, including how image strength and creativity change the result.
5. 3D Model to Render on a sparse SketchUp view of a penthouse. She sets color and shape strength fairly low to avoid a SketchUp look, writes a plain scene description, and raises creativity high for better lighting and realism.
6. Image to Video from that render, with a simple forward walk prompt.
7. Chat, where she uploads the same SketchUp view and asks for an accurate night version with the lights on.

Takeaways

• She found the materials and finishes in the foreground stayed close to her model, from the marble counter to the lounge chair.
• She recommends selecting a slightly larger area than the object you want to change, because the AI reads it better.
• Depth was a weak spot. Objects deep in the room got blurry, and the video lost quality as it moved further back. She suggests working with closer shots.
• She preferred Chat for her penthouse test. It needed no parameter tuning and gave her a moodier image that kept the background details, while the create apps took more trial and error.

Try it yourself

Upload a SketchUp view to 3D Model to Render, or drop it into Chat and describe the lighting you want. Use Select and Modify to swap individual furniture pieces or finishes.
