Magical IKEA Makeover: From Empty Room to Cozy Haven

In a quiet, blank canvas, an IKEA box performs magic; furniture flows out, building a warm Scandinavian living room that beckons comfort and joy!

Prompt

{
  "description": "In the center of a bare, empty room with plain walls and a wooden floor sits a single, iconic IKEA flat-pack cardboard box. The box flaps gently pop open, and a cascade of furniture components magically slide out and begin to assemble themselves. In a charming, stop-motion-like sequence, a complete, cozy Scandinavian-style living room is constructed around the box. A bookshelf builds itself and books fly into place, an armchair clicks together as a blanket drapes over it, and a rug unrolls across the floor, transforming the empty space into a warm, inviting home.",
  "style": "Cinematic, magical realism, charming, stop-motion aesthetic, warm",
  "camera": "Starts with a static, wide shot to establish the empty room and the solitary box. A slow, gentle dolly-in as the box opens. Transitions to a slightly higher angle (isometric view) to best showcase the satisfying assembly process. Ends on a stable, eye-level wide shot of the beautiful, completed room.",
  "lighting": "Begins with neutral, flat ambient light in the empty room. As the assembly starts, the lighting becomes progressively warmer and more layered. Practical lights from the IKEA furniture (e.g., a floor lamp, a table lamp) switch on as they are assembled, casting soft, warm pools of light (3200K) and creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere.",
  "composition": "The initial shot is centered and symmetrical, making the box the hero. During assembly, the dynamic lines of the furniture guide the eye. The final shot is a balanced, asymmetrical composition using the rule of thirds, making the scene feel natural and lived-in.",
  "scene": "An empty room with light grey walls and a light wood floor. This space transforms into a fully furnished, cozy, and functional IKEA living room.",
  "elements": [
    "Iconic IKEA brown cardboard flat-pack box",
    "A KALLAX shelving unit",
    "A POÄNG armchair with a soft cushion",
    "A cozy rug, like a STOENSE",
    "A FADO table lamp that turns on",
    "FEJKA artificial plants in pots",
    "Books, picture frames, and small decorative objects for the shelves"
  ],
  "character": {
    "appearance": "A person in their late 20s or early 30s.",
    "clothing": "Comfortable, casual home attire (e.g., a simple sweater and jeans).",
    "action": "Walks into the completed room at the very end, looks around with a smile of pure satisfaction and contentment, and then happily sinks into the newly assembled armchair.",
    "positioning": "Enters the frame from the side in the final shot, becoming the final piece that completes the 'home'."
  },
  "motion": "A mix of smooth, magical motion and crisp, stop-motion 'clicks'. Box flaps open gracefully. Furniture pieces slide and lock into place with satisfying precision. The rug unrolls with a fluid 'swoosh'. The overall pacing is upbeat and delightful.",
  "sound_design": {
    "ambient": "Starts with the subtle echo of an empty room. This fades away and is replaced by a warm, quiet room tone once the space is furnished.",
    "foley": [
      "The satisfying sound of a cardboard box being opened",
      "A series of crisp, tactile 'clicks', 'snaps', and 'clacks' as wooden parts connect",
      "The soft 'thump' of cushions landing on a chair",
      "The gentle rustle of books sliding onto shelves",
      "A soft 'swoosh' of the rug unrolling",
      "A clear 'click' as the lamp is turned on"
    ],
    "music": "A light, cheerful, and slightly quirky acoustic instrumental track featuring ukulele, pizzicato strings, and gentle percussion. The music is optimistic and embodies the feeling of simple joy.",
    "mix": "Foley sounds are the star, perfectly synchronized with the visual assembly to create a deeply satisfying, ASMR-like experience. The music drives the cheerful pace but remains in the background to let the assembly sounds shine."
  },
  "ending": "A final, warm shot of the person relaxing happily in the armchair in their new, beautiful living room, taking a contented sip from a mug.",
