Start with the house you actually have
Use a clear photo taken from a position that shows the main facade. Include the roofline, entrance and windows. Avoid heavy shadows, parked cars across the building and very wide-angle shots where possible.
- Use your own photo or one you have permission to upload.
- Keep the same source photo when comparing design directions.
- A second viewpoint can reveal features hidden in the first photo.
Explore a style, then change one thing at a time
Choose a design direction and describe the finishes you want to explore. Start with the overall facade, then compare a restrained change in color or material. Changing the roof, windows and landscaping at once makes it harder to judge what improved the design.
- Try light render with a darker entrance accent.
- Compare a mostly painted facade with a smaller wood-look feature.
- Save the directions you want to discuss with your contractor.
Compare the concept with the original
AI may move openings, alter proportions or invent details. Check windows, doors, roof edges and boundaries against your source photo before choosing a favorite. A convincing image is not evidence that a change is feasible.
Take a clearer brief to a professional
Use your saved images to explain the visual direction you prefer. An architect or contractor still needs to assess the building, materials, permissions and cost. Hausly provides visual concepts, not measured drawings or construction specifications.
Common questions
Can I redesign the exterior of my own house?
Yes. Upload an exterior photo and explore AI-generated design directions. Results depend on the source photo and your choices; details may differ from the original.
Will my windows and roof stay exactly the same?
Not necessarily. State what should stay in your instructions, then inspect each result. AI-generated images can still change the structure.
Is Hausly an interior design app?
The publicly available workflow covered here is exterior and facade design. These pages do not offer an interior-design workflow.
