Kitchen design prompts for ChatGPT and Gemini that actually work

A vague prompt gets you a generic showroom kitchen that looks nothing like your home. A specific one gets you something worth showing a Dutch kitchen specialist. Below are eight prompts you can copy, adapt and reuse — some starting from nothing, some starting from a photo of your own kitchen — plus how to iterate on them and what to do once you have a design you like.

In short

What you get
Eight ready-to-use English prompts for ChatGPT and Gemini, split between text-only and photo-based, plus a method for iterating toward a design you actually like.
What it rests on
Practical prompting patterns tested for clarity, not a guarantee of any particular tool's output — results vary by model version and change over time.
What it is not
Not a technical drawing and not a measurement tool. Treat every result as an impression to refine and then price, not a finished specification.
Next step
Send your finished render into the form on this page, or read the 7 checks that turn a design into a real quote.

Before you prompt: what to decide first

Three decisions, made before you open the tool, save you most of the back-and-forth: the layout you are working with (straight, corner, parallel or island — you usually cannot change your room's shape, only what fills it), a style word or two (modern, Scandinavian, industrial, classic), and a rough budget band, since "premium" and "budget" produce very different images. Have these three ready and your first prompt will already be close to usable.

Prompts that start from a blank kitchen (text-only)

Use these when you have no photo to work from, only a room and an idea. Straight quotes only, adapt the details in brackets to your own room.

Prompts that start from a photo of your own kitchen

Upload a clear, well-lit photo of your current kitchen first, then use a prompt like these so the tool works from your actual room rather than inventing one.

Iterating: refining one element at a time

The single most useful habit is changing one thing per prompt rather than rewriting the whole description each time. If you like the layout but not the worktop, ask only for the worktop to change and reference "the same kitchen" or "this image" so the tool keeps everything else stable. Rewriting the full prompt from scratch tends to shift multiple elements at once, and you lose the parts you had already settled on.

Limits of AI kitchen design tools

Worth being clear-eyed about before you get attached to an image: these tools do not know your actual measurements, cannot confirm what fits around your plumbing and electrics, and sometimes generate appliance shapes or cabinet proportions that are not physically realistic in a real kitchen fit-out. Treat every result as a strong visual reference, not as a plan — the next step is always a conversation with someone who can confirm what is actually buildable in your space.

From prompt to price: sending your render for a quote

Once you have an image you are happy with, the next step is turning it into a number. Fill in the form on this page and describe or upload your design; up to three selected, independent Dutch kitchen specialists in your region will price it and compete for your business, free and without obligation.

Frequently asked questions

Which AI tool gives the most realistic kitchen render, ChatGPT or Gemini?

Both can produce a usable impression; results vary by prompt more than by tool. Try the same prompt in both and keep whichever result reads more clearly as your actual layout, then iterate on that one rather than switching tools repeatedly.

Can I use a prompt to get exact measurements?

No. These tools generate an image, not a technical drawing, and cannot give you reliable dimensions. Treat any measurements they mention as illustrative at best, and confirm real dimensions yourself or with a specialist.

Do I need a subscription to use these prompts?

Free tiers of ChatGPT and Gemini can usually generate a kitchen image, though limits and image quality vary and change over time. Check the current free allowance in the tool itself before assuming a paid plan is required.

How many iterations does it typically take to get a design I like?

Expect several rounds. Changing one element per prompt, such as the worktop or the front colour, keeps the rest of the design stable and gets you to a result you are happy with faster than rewriting the whole prompt each time.

What do I do with the finished image?
