Additive prompting: ordering prompt variables for more consistent interior images

In a 2023 X thread, Nick St. Pierre lays out an ordered prompt structure, camera angle first, for interior and architecture images.

WHAT THEY DID

He breaks an image into components and always orders them the same way: style term, camera angle, room type, focal point, textures, details, palette, a brand reference, lighting and mood, ending with a 16:9 aspect setting. He limits named furniture to about three items.

HOW IT WENT

He reports over 90% coherence between prompt and image, his own estimate, and says images can come out blurry and need upscaling.

WORTH KNOWING

From 2023 and model-specific. Using a retailer’s name as a style reference borrows another company’s look, which matters for commercial work.
