Five visual rules beat ten adjectives
Pick one hero subject and one mood. Define where light comes from and whether it is soft or hard. Limit the main palette to two or three colors, then leave breathing room. Materials should reinforce the subject: linen and pale stone, for example, support a quiet interior.

Make “an elegant living room” actionable
“An elegant living room” specifies almost nothing. Warm beige and ivory, a linen sofa, pale stone, diffused side-window light, soft shadows, and generous negative space give the model a direction. Terms such as “quiet luxury” can help, but concrete description should do the main work.
A quiet-luxury living room with a natural linen sofa and pale stone side table. Warm beige and ivory palette, soft diffused light from a side window, delicate shadows, generous negative space, low visual noise, editorial interior photography. No extra decorations, neon, or saturated colors.

Write the rules into a template, then edit
The source template combines subject, setting, mood, color, light, material, and composition. After a first result, check for competing focal points, oversaturated colors, a busy backdrop, or harsh light. Remove or change one issue at a time, then compare versions.
