A photo, a sentence, a different room

Everybody has the same thought in a rented flat: this room could be better and I have no idea how. Not a floor plan, not a mood board — just show me this room, the one I am standing in, looking like something else.

So: upload a photo, type how you want it to feel, get the room back.

A landing page behind a frosted panel reading Reimagine your space in large pink script, with an upload button, a text field part-typed with the words minimal Japanese-in, and a purple generate button. Behind the panel, a mosaic of interior photographs: a dark media room, a gilded classical salon, a terracotta living room with a rattan sofa, a whitewashed Mediterranean room with blue shutters, a concrete loft and a chandeliered ballroom
The whole product is this screen: a photo, a sentence, a button.

One day, then six months

The thing was built in a day. The repository's first day carries 118 commits, which is what building on Lovable looks like from the outside: a conversation, compiled. The interesting number is the second one — six hundred more commits across the following six months, which is the part nobody shows you. A product is not the day it works; it is the two hundred days after, spent on credits, sign-in, watermarks, a blog and the showcase.

A section headed See the Transformation with the line Upload any room photo and watch AI reimagine your space in seconds. Two photographs side by side joined by a purple arrow: Before, a bare white living room with a grey corner sofa, a rolled-up mattress, a cable on the floor and clutter in the corners; After, the same room with art on the walls, a patterned rug, plants, a round coffee table with flowers, lamps and two black leather chairs
The before shot is the honest one: a real room, mid-move, with the cable still on the floor.

The business end

It gives away one credit a day, with no card, which is enough to try it on your own living room and see whether the result is worth anything to you. Paid credits buy the better model — sharper, no watermark — at $0.99 for two, and if you would rather someone else did it, there is a concierge service from $50. That last line is the most honest thing on the page: the software is cheap, and taste is not.

A pricing section headed Start Free, no credit card required. A card reads Free to start, 1 free credit every day, sign up and get 1 free credit every day with no credit card needed, all styles included, and a Get Started Free button. Underneath: paid credits unlock our premium AI model with sharper details, higher fidelity and watermark-free exports, 2 credits for $0.99 or larger packs, or a concierge service from $50
A credit a day free, two credits for a dollar, or pay a human.

There is also a small pile of articles on the site — where to start redecorating, how to handle a room that is too big, what actually helps a house sell. They exist because a product like this lives or dies on people searching for the problem rather than the tool, and writing them is the least glamorous work in the whole project.

And the thing that will replace it

Running on someone else's platform means every generated room costs money through their gateway, and the margin on a $0.99 pack is not a business — it is a rounding error with support tickets. So there is a successor in progress, called Spacery: the same studio with the subscription machinery taken out, pointed straight at the image model with your own key. No middleman, no credits, no watermark — your room, your key, your bill.

It is not open to anyone yet, and this entry gets updated when it is.

Still rough

It redecorates; it does not understand your flat. Ask for something a room cannot physically do and it will cheerfully do it anyway. The free credit resets daily, which is generous enough to be useful and stingy enough to be annoying, which is roughly the point.
