Prompts asking for a Basement keeps creating results with balconies and windows

I'm trying to create an illustrated image of a plain basement, like the kind you'd see in an old home. I started with "an old basement with a wooden staircase leading up and a single light hanging from the ceiling", and added adjectives and descriptors multiple times trying to specify no doors, tunnels, balconies, and windows; no matter how I phrase it, I keep getting images with bright open windows and stairs that end in long balconies (like you would see in a house with a 2nd story banister). I can't get Firefly to make a basement that actually looks like an underground basement without it just making caves or ground floors, and I'm at a loss for what to try.

you just can remove some parts and one of the lamps with generative fill and add some adjustments with photoshop
I hope I could help

Managing to get a bit closer, but only with a lot of the Generative Fill to tweak bits that are wrong. The stairs still run into the ceiling, and it kept really wanting to add windows or make the hanging bulb absolutely massive; the only fix I found was removing the bulb entirely. I've already used up most of my credits for this month on this one image and I'm still not really happy with it -_-

I noticed that there's a section for Advanced options that allows the option to exclude certain words from the prompt, but even after adding exclusions for windows, doors, tunnels, outside, and sky it kept creating all of those.

Related question: why does the Generative Fill seem to think that "darker" as a prompt means "add a spooky skeleton"? It's so hard to just get it to understand "this area is incredibly bright".

Everyone seems to think that generative AI can read their minds and then create mind blowing scenes in a snap without the need of further editing. Photoshop and editing skills are not redundant. If you want something very specifi, you will need to edit it.

I understand that, but when my own art style is so wildly different from what is being generated it cannot and will not look right if I can't get the prompt at least CLOSE to what I'm looking for. I'm not doing this to be lazy, I'm doing this because this is a TOOL and I'm trying to use this TOOL to the best of its ability.

You might want to try a different word for basement.

Here's an example. I have useed Firefly 2. But the "urbex" keyword also works in version 1 to specify abandoned, run-down architecture: https://firefly.adobe.com/public/t2i?id=urn%3Aaaid%3Asc%3AEU%3A76d12c40-ebce-4c48-9a6b-41116bb16115&ff_channel=shared_link&ff_source=Text2Image

I would not include things you do not want. I'm not sure if Firefly understands the "no" word.

Is this closer to what you are looking for?

Simple plain walled large Dark dimly-lit house-basement with small side stairwell.

Sort of but not really? I'm trying to get a wooden staircase and a hanging light, and this image still has that balcony section at the top. I'm trying to get an image that looks like it could be a basement of a big plantation home kind of building.
