For this test: 

➡️ I generated an office scene using a basic text-to-image workflow. 

➡️ I inpainted characters based on descriptions. 

➡️ Then, I added a chair multiple times using just one reference image ... with different angles!

I took an old client render I made over 6 year ago and tested how much control AI can give us over transforming an image. 

 With just a few hours and one AI tool, I achieved a fully modified and refined version—without starting from scratch! 

 🔹 What I did: 

✅ Removed elements 

✅ Replaced furniture & decor 

✅ Iterated different designs 

✅ Changed colors & materials 

✅ Added new details 

 🔹 How: I used custom workflows inside ComfyUI—an open-source AI tool—and then combined all outputs seamlessly. 

I grabbed a random photo of a small apartment, the kind of mess you’d find right after moving in. Boxes everywhere, mixed furniture, not much clarity on where to start. 

 So I ran a basic inpainting workflow in ComfyUI to clear everything out ... just to see the space empty and get a fresh perspective.Then I used a reference-based inpainting custom workflow to drop in new furniture, one item at a time. 

I picked IKEA products for this test, just single product shots from the catalog, and placed them right into the scene. 

 The result? A clean, fully furnished space, with a clearer idea of what works, what doesn’t, and a defined list of products and budget to move forward with.

"Can we implement specific furniture brands to showcase real products in our designs using AI?"Yes, you absolutely can! 

Here’s how you can do it:

 ➡️ Base Image: You can start with a real photo or an AI-generated image, like this living room setup.

 ➡️ Furniture Selection: Choose specific furniture references (just one single image is enough!).

 ➡️ Workflow Process: By masking the area where the furniture should go, the AI workflow restores the product based on its reference image and no extra prompting needed.

This is all part of a custom inpainting workflow with reference images on ComfyUI, allowing you to integrate real items into your scene with precise control over placement, scale, and orientation.I've already hosted workshops on this topic, and now I’m pushing it even further.

In the world of design, the “unfilled” isn’t empty; it’s an invitation!

Using AI, we explored how a single room can tell two entirely different stories. From minimalist calm to festive coziness, the power of design lies in its ability to adapt and inspire.
