AI is changing too much, how to do minimal change?

If you're looking to make subtle adjustments to your space without a complete overhaul, Renovate AI offers several features to help you achieve minimal changes. Here's how to use these tools effectively:

1. Utilize the "Renovation Spectrum" Feature

The Renovation Spectrum allows you to control the level of change in your designs:

Choose the "Tweak" Level

- For the most subtle changes, select the "Tweak" level in the Renovation Spectrum.
- Interior: Focus on small adjustments like decor, color accents, and lighting.
- Exterior: Make minor enhancements such as outdoor lighting, door hardware, or garden accents.

Consider the "Enhance" Level

- If you're open to slightly more noticeable changes while still keeping things minimal:
- Interior: Update key elements like wall colors, furniture, and fixtures.
- Exterior: Upgrade with paint updates, landscaping tweaks, and subtle entryway enhancements.

2. Remember the "Transform" Tool

While the "Transform" tool is designed for more significant changes, you can use it selectively for minimal yet impactful modifications:

- Apply the "Transform" tool to a specific area or element you want to change more noticeably.
- Use descriptive prompts to guide the AI towards minimal yet impactful transformations in the selected area.

3. Use the "Preserve" Feature

- Use the "Preserve" tool to select objects or areas you want to keep unchanged.
- The AI will work around these elements, ensuring they remain untouched.

4. Focus on Targeted Design Tools

Instead of renovating the entire space:

- Choose specific tools like "Wall Tool" or "Floor Tool".
- Modify only the selected element for more controlled changes.

5. Be Descriptive in Your Descriptors

Guide the AI towards minimal changes by being descriptive in your input:

- Instead of using commands, describe the desired outcome, e.g., "A living room with slightly lighter wall tones" rather than "Change the wall color".
- Include descriptors like "subtle", "soft", or "minimally changed" in your descriptions.
- Mention elements you want to keep, e.g., "A kitchen with the same layout, but with a softer color palette".

6. Iterate and Generate Multiple Designs

If the initial result doesn't meet your expectations for minimal change:

- Don't hesitate to generate multiple designs.
- Each time, adjust your description slightly to guide the AI towards more subtle changes.
- Compare the generated designs to find the one that best matches your vision for minimal change.

7. Fine-Tune AI Suggestions

After generating multiple designs:

- Review each design carefully, noting the elements that align with your minimal change goal.
- Use the editing tools to make small adjustments to colors, textures, or placement in your preferred design.
- This allows you to start with the AI's suggestions and then refine them to achieve the perfect minimal change.

By leveraging these features in Renovate AI and being willing to generate multiple designs, you can achieve your desired level of minimal change, ensuring subtle enhancements to your living space while still benefiting from AI-powered design suggestions.
