How to Use the AI Mockup Generator

Generate photorealistic room visualisations to include in your quotes — and win more work.

Last updated: April 2025

The AI Mockup Generator is one of TailoredQuote's most powerful features. It lets you create photorealistic visualisations of rooms — kitchens, bathrooms, living spaces, bedrooms — from a plain-English description. You can include these in your quotes to show clients exactly what their finished space will look like before a single tile is laid.

This is a proven conversion tool. Clients who can see the end result alongside a professional quote are dramatically more likely to accept it. This guide walks you through the entire process.

When to Use Mockups

AI mockups are particularly effective for:

Bathroom renovations — show the client their new walk-in shower, vanity unit, and tiling scheme
Kitchen refits — visualise new units, worktops, splashbacks, and flooring together
Living room or bedroom renovations — demonstrate colour schemes, built-in storage, and layout changes
Extensions — help clients imagine the new open-plan space before construction begins
Commercial fit-outs — show office or retail space designs to business clients

Describe the room in detail

In the description field, type a detailed plain-English description of the room you want to visualise. Include:

Room type (kitchen, bathroom, living room, etc.)
Style (modern, traditional, Scandinavian, industrial, etc.)
Key fixtures and features (walk-in shower, freestanding bath, island unit, etc.)
Materials and colours (white quartz worktop, grey metro tiles, oak flooring, etc.)
Lighting (spotlights, pendant lights, LED mirrors, etc.)

Example: "Modern bathroom with a walk-in rainfall shower enclosure, freestanding matt black bath, large format light grey stone tiles, heated towel rail, floating vanity unit with an LED backlit mirror, and brushed brass fixtures throughout."

Tip: The more specific your description, the better the result. Mentioning specific materials, colours, and fixture styles produces much more accurate visualisations than vague descriptions.

Generate the mockup

Click Generate Mockup. The AI processes your description and produces a photorealistic room visualisation. This typically takes 30 to 60 seconds. You will see a progress indicator while the image is being generated.

Review the result

The generated mockup appears on screen. Review it to ensure it matches the client's brief. If it is not quite right, you can adjust the description and regenerate — there is no limit on attempts.

Save or download

You can:

Download the image — save it for use in quotes, emails, or social media
Save to your account — store it in your Inspiration gallery for later use
Attach to a quote — include the mockup directly in your branded quote PDF alongside pricing

Writing Better Prompts

The quality of your mockup depends largely on the quality of your description. Here are some tips:

Be specific about colours — "dove grey" is better than "grey"; "matt black" is better than "dark"
Name materials — "herringbone oak flooring" produces a more accurate result than "wood floor"
Mention the style — "Scandinavian minimal" or "traditional Victorian" sets the overall aesthetic
Include lighting — it dramatically affects the mood of the generated image
Describe the layout — mention where key fixtures are positioned relative to each other

Using Mockups to Win More Work

The most effective way to use mockups is to include them in your quote PDF alongside the pricing. When a client opens the document, they see both the professional, itemised quote and a photorealistic image of what their finished space will look like. This combination is extremely difficult for competitors to match — particularly those still sending text-only quotes or WhatsApp messages.

Mockups also work brilliantly as social media content. Every mockup you generate is a potential Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok post. See our guide on winning more jobs as a builder for more on leveraging visual content.
