    Use the uploaded floor plan as the base layout. Create a realistic top-down interior render that shows how the home would look in real life. Keep all room positions and proportions accurate, including the living room, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, dining area, and entryway. Redesign the entire space in a warm wabi-sabi style. Use light natural wood, textured plaster or limewash walls, soft stone surfaces, linen fabrics, and earthy tones like beige, sand, taupe, and muted brown. Keep furniture minimal, low- profile, and organic in shape. Add subtle imperfections, handmade decor, ceramics, and light greenery for a lived-in natural feel. Ensure the layout feels calm, uncluttered, and balanced. Use soft natural lighting, as if daylight is coming through the windows. Maintain a clean, premium interior design look with photorealistic materials and textures. Top-down bird's-eye view, realistic proportions, soft shadows, high detail, interior design visualization quality, no text, no UI elements. ar 4:5
