# An island idea. A clearer conversation.

Explore an island on a photo of your kitchen. Try its character and position as a visual idea before checking the layout with measurements.

**Audience:** For visual exploration from your own references

## How it works

Kitchen island and layout, from your own image.

1. **Bring your references** — Upload a wide kitchen photo and describe the available space, existing appliances, and circulation routes.
2. **Describe the direction** — Name the island size you have in mind, seating, storage, and finish. Specify which cabinets and appliances should stay.
3. **Review the concept** — Measure walkways, appliance door swings, and seating space separately. Do not use the image to decide whether the island fits.

## Example prompt

```
Add one compact freestanding oak kitchen island centered in the open floor area, with a pale stone top and exactly two simple stools facing the camera. No sink or cooktop in the island. Keep generous visible circulation. Preserve all perimeter cabinets, existing countertop, appliances, window, floor, walls, camera and lighting. Do not stretch the room.
```

## From reference to concept.

A generated source, its edited result, and a closer look at the same result. Use the comparison above to inspect what changed.

- **Kitchen without island** — The generated source image used as the edit reference.
- **Island concept** — The result of the task-specific edit, using that source image.
- **The island materials** — A tightly framed detail from this result, shown at three times the scale of the full view.

## Kitchen island and layout questions

### What should I upload for kitchen island and layout?

Upload a wide kitchen photo and describe the available space, existing appliances, and circulation routes.

### Can the image confirm whether an island will fit?

No. A photo and generated concept cannot establish usable clearances. Measure the room, appliance openings, and seating space and review the arrangement with a kitchen designer.

### How should I check the result?

Measure walkways, appliance door swings, and seating space separately. Do not use the image to decide whether the island fits.

### Can I refine the concept in the same conversation?

Yes. Tell Bob which parts to change and which to retain. Refer back to your original images and review each new concept for unintended changes.

Generated layouts do not establish real dimensions, accessible routes, appliance clearance, structure, or service locations. A measured plan is required before installation.
