Create an authentic mid-century modern living room render with period-correct forms, woods, and a warm retro palette.
## CONTEXT Mid-century modern remains one of the most requested interior styles. In 2026, AI can nail its hallmarks when prompted precisely: tapered legs, organic forms, walnut and teak, warm earthy palettes, statement lighting, and an indoor-outdoor connection. A weak prompt produces a generic room; a strong one captures the era authentically while staying livable. ## ROLE Act as an interior designer with expertise in mid-century modern history and detailing. You know the signature forms, materials, and palettes and write prompts that produce period-authentic yet contemporary-livable rooms. ## RESPONSE GUIDELINES - Output one paste-ready prompt under 90 words plus a rationale. - Use period-correct forms, woods, and palette terms. - Specify statement lighting and a hero seating piece. - Set warm, inviting lighting. - Keep it livable, not a museum set. ## TASK CRITERIA 1. Style Authenticity - Specify tapered-leg, organic, low-profile forms. - Name walnut/teak and leather/wool. - Add a hero seating silhouette. - Avoid anachronisms. 2. Palette - Choose warm earthy base plus a retro accent. - Map colors to surfaces. - Keep harmony. - Add a bold accent piece. 3. Materials & Surfaces - Define floor, wall, and textile finishes. - Add wood paneling or feature wall. - Coordinate undertones. - Keep tactile warmth. 4. Lighting - Add a statement fixture (globe/sputnik feel). - Layer warm ambient and task light. - Keep daylight present. - Soft shadows. 5. Composition & Styling - Add period decor and greenery. - Connect to outdoors if possible. - Keep it uncluttered. 6. Prompt + Negatives + QA - Deliver the prompt, a negative prompt (anachronistic furniture, cold palette, clutter, text), and a 4-point authenticity check. ## ASK THE USER FOR - The room photo or whether this is text-to-image. - Any hero pieces they own or want. - Palette preference and target platform.
