Introduction
Renovations are expensive and permanent. Visualizing changes before you commit helps you make better decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and feel confident about your choices. Flik lets you preview renovations photorealistically.
What You Can Visualize
- Kitchen remodels: New cabinets, countertops, backsplash, appliances
- Bathroom updates: Vanities, tile, fixtures, layouts
- Flooring changes: Different wood types, tile, carpet
- Paint colors: Wall colors and accent walls
- Layout changes: Removing walls, adding islands, reconfiguring space
- Lighting updates: New fixtures and lighting plans
Step 1: Upload Current Space Photos
Take clear photos of your space as it is now:
- Multiple angles showing the entire room
- Good lighting - open curtains, turn on all lights
- Include all features you're considering changing
- Empty counters and clear clutter for clearer visualization
Step 2: Describe the Changes
Be specific about what you want to change:
"Show me my kitchen with white shaker cabinets instead of the current oak, and white quartz countertops instead of laminate"
"Visualize my bathroom with a walk-in shower instead of the tub, and large format gray tile"
"I want to see my living room walls painted navy blue with white trim"
Testing Multiple Options
Compare different renovation choices before deciding:
- "Show me 3 countertop options: white quartz, black granite, butcher block"
- "Compare 4 paint colors for my bedroom: soft gray, sage green, navy, white"
- "Visualize oak vs maple vs walnut flooring in my living room"
Before/After Comparisons
View your current space alongside the renovated version:
- Keep your original photos for reference
- Generated renovations show the transformed space
- Compare side-by-side to see the impact
- Share with contractors or family for feedback
💡 Budget Planning: Use visualizations to get accurate quotes from contractors. Show them exactly what you want rather than trying to describe it verbally.
