Using Midjourney to treat ‘similar’ spaces differently

Original image - Fora Shoreditch

Midjourney V6 has a new option - Consistent Characters - upload one image, use the parameter —cref URL (of that image) and you can have ‘consistent characters‘ - mostly this is aimed at people wanting the same ‘human‘ to be in a range of scenes but as you’ll see from the examples below it works pretty well for ‘fixing‘ a space and then applying different stylings to it.

It this case I took an image from Fora Shoreditch and then applied four treatments to it: Minimalist Zen, Industrial Chic, Eclectic Bohemian and Sleek and High-Tech. The full prompts I used are under each image.

It’s pretty good. Or certainly ‘good enough‘ to get a feel for how different looks would turn out.

Minimalist Zen: Clean lines, simple forms, and a neutral color palette create a calming and focused atmosphere. Incorporate elements such as light wood finishes, white walls, and subtle accent colors like soft greens or blues. Use natural materials like bamboo, stone, and linen to add texture. Include plants, a small indoor water feature, and uncluttered workspaces to promote a sense of tranquility and mindfulness.

Industrial Chic: Embrace the raw, unfinished look of industrial spaces with exposed brick walls, concrete floors, and metal accents. Incorporate vintage or repurposed furniture pieces, such as old factory carts or reclaimed wood tables. Use edison bulb lighting fixtures and metal shelving to add to the industrial vibe. Soften the look with cozy rugs, plush seating, and vibrant artwork to create a balance between edgy and inviting.

Eclectic Bohemian: Create a vibrant and creative space with a mix of colors, patterns, and textures. Incorporate mismatched furniture pieces, such as vintage armchairs, colorful ottomans, and patterned rugs. Use a variety of lighting sources, including floor lamps, table lamps, and string lights, to create a warm and inviting ambiance. Add plenty of plants, woven wall hangings, and eclectic artwork to complete the bohemian look.

Sleek and High-Tech: Design a modern, high-tech office with a focus on innovation and efficiency. Use a monochromatic color scheme with pops of bold, bright colors for accent pieces. Incorporate glass walls, sleek metal finishes, and minimalist furniture with clean lines. Include state-of-the-art technology, such as large digital displays, interactive whiteboards, and integrated charging stations. Use LED lighting and smart climate control systems to create a comfortable and energy-efficient environment.
