Do I need to mark the backsplash area before describing what I want?
No! Just describe the new backsplash material and style. The AI automatically identifies the backsplash area (typically the wall surface between countertops and upper cabinets). Only add markers if you want to replace a specific section, or if your kitchen has unusual layouts where the AI needs guidance.
What types of backsplash materials can I visualize?
All common materials work: subway tile, mosaic tile, marble, granite, glass, zellige, arabesque, hexagon, herringbone, stacked tile, brick, or slab stone. Specify the material, pattern, size, and color for best results. The AI understands standard tile terminology.
Can I specify grout color?
Yes, and you should! Grout color dramatically affects the overall look. Specify 'white grout,' 'gray grout,' 'dark grout,' or 'matching grout.' For nearly groutless looks, try 'minimal grout lines' or 'rectified tile with thin grout.'
Will outlets and switches be preserved?
The AI attempts to preserve outlets and fixtures automatically. For best results, add 'keep outlets visible' or 'preserve electrical outlets' to your prompt. You can also mark outlet locations specifically if they're getting covered.
Can I extend my backsplash to the ceiling?
Yes! Just specify: 'replace backsplash extending to ceiling' or 'full-height tile backsplash.' This is popular behind ranges or in modern kitchens where backsplash becomes a feature wall.
How accurate is the tile pattern rendering?
Very accurate for common patterns (subway brick, straight stack, herringbone, hexagon). More complex custom patterns may need additional description. The AI understands standard installation patterns and maintains proper perspective in straight-on photos.
Can I use this for contractor estimates or design decisions?
Absolutely! This tool is perfect for visualizing options before committing to expensive tile purchases. Share rendered images with contractors for quotes, or generate multiple options to help family members agree on design choices. Many users test 5-10 different backsplashes before deciding.
