I built Roomzine: one photo of your room becomes a magazine-style redesign brief

I'm Alexey, a solo developer, and I built Roomzine. You upload one photo of a room as it looks today, pick a style and get a redesign in about 30 seconds.

A single AI render is hard to act on: you see a nice picture and still don't know what changed or what to buy. So each result comes out as a magazine spread:

  • before and after, side by side;
  • close-ups of the specific changes (a new headboard, a different tap);
  • the colour palette of the new room;
  • a list of every change and a shopping list;
  • a short editorial text about the room.

The full issue is a print-ready PDF. You can hand it to a contractor as a brief or keep it while you plan a renovation.

Who it is for

  • People planning a renovation who want to compare a few styles before spending money.
  • Landlords and agents who need virtual staging for a listing.
  • Anyone with a small flat who wonders what it could look like.

Styles include Japandi, Scandinavian, Modern Tropical, Mid-century Modern, Bohemian, Industrial, Coastal and Minimalist.

What is free

Two redesigns are free, with no signup and no card. The full PDF magazine is paid: packs start at $5 for 2 rooms.

What I would like feedback on

  • Rooms where the redesign doesn't match your real space (wrong layout, a window moved). This is the failure I care about most.
  • Whether a printable brief is what you want from an AI redesign, or a single image is enough.

You can try it here: roomzine.com. I'll answer questions in the comments.
