# Iron & Oak — office style prompt

Design baseline: the approved meeting-room reference `IMG_2192.png` and reception reference `IMG_5958.png`. Use both room images for materials, atmosphere and furniture; use the approved Bitter logo artwork separately for brand identity.

## Reusable prompt

Create a photorealistic architectural image of **[SCENE]** for Iron & Oak, matching the two supplied office references. Use warm ivory plaster walls, weathered medium-tone oak with visible grain and knots, vertical oak feature panels, substantial rectangular oak furniture, and slender matte-black iron frames. Furnish with restrained cognac or taupe leather seating. Use open black-framed shelving, a few architectural books and material samples, simple ceramic or clear-glass vessels, and restrained planting. For greenery, select a spineless yucca, ponytail palm, foxtail agave, candelabra euphorbia or branching aloe from the approved planting studies. Set it where it receives window light, leaving the sign legible and circulation clear. Keep the room composed, practical and uncluttered, with generous breathing room around the furniture.

Light the space with soft natural window light and subtle warm concealed lighting. Preserve neutral material colors, gentle shadows and realistic texture. Photograph from **[CAMERA / FRAMING]**, with straight verticals, believable room proportions and natural perspective. Carry the same oak, iron, plaster and leather palette through every view. For an existing room, preserve its architecture and principal furniture arrangement unless the scene instructions explicitly change them.

Where branding is visible, reproduce the supplied tree-and-house emblem and **“Iron & Oak”** wordmark in Bitter SemiBold exactly. Retain the letterforms, ampersand, spacing and emblem proportions. Follow **[SIGN TYPE / PLACEMENT]** for the physical construction and mounting. The sign must belong naturally in the room, with plausible thickness, attachment and shadows.

## Material and identity constraints

- Metal: matte charcoal or blackened iron; subtle dark patina is acceptable. No gold, brass, bronze, copper, polished chrome or orange rust.
- Sign construction: favor dark iron relief or cut lettering that matches the emblem. Use wood contrast, depth and natural shadows for legibility. Glass-door graphics may use neutral frosted vinyl. Keep the selected sign construction consistent across future views; do not substitute metallic colors or a flat light-gray painted plaque unless explicitly requested.
- Wood: weathered oak, with controlled natural variation. No glossy orange varnish, exotic dark wood, exaggerated distressing or barn-themed props.
- Palette: warm ivory, natural oak, charcoal, taupe and restrained cognac leather. Warmth comes from wood, leather and light—not metallic yellow finishes or an overall sepia filter.
- Brand text: **Iron & Oak** only. No “Craft Homes LLC,” subtitle, tagline, invented credentials or additional legible copy.
- Keep the room credible: consistent daylight direction, true furniture joints, plausible material thickness, clear circulation and straight architectural lines. No forge tools, anvils, gratuitous industrial pipes or decorative fantasy structures.
