How AI virtual staging works

Turning an empty room into a fully styled photo takes three steps and about 30 seconds. No furniture hire, no second shoot, no editing brief to write.

Three steps from empty room to styled photo

  1. Upload a picture

    Drop in a photo of the room, JPG or PNG up to 10 MB. The room can be empty or still furnished, and you can tell us what kind of room it is or let the AI work it out.

  2. Choose a style

    Pick one of five styles. The model furnishes the space in about 30 seconds, holding the original architecture, camera angle and lighting in place.

  3. Download the finished photo

    Save a photorealistic PNG ready for the portal, the brochure and the window card. Not quite right? Describe the change in plain English and run an edit.

Drag the handle to compare the original photo with the render. The window line, the floor and the camera position are identical; only the furnishings are new.

Fine-tune your styled images

Not quite right? Describe the change in plain English and the AI applies it to the same room. Each edit costs one credit, and you can run as many as you like.

Bedroom before the edit instruction was applied

The same bedroom after the edit, with a linen bed, rug and artwork added

After the edit

Example instruction: “Add a linen upholstered bed, a rug under it and artwork above the bedhead”. Plain sentences work best. Keep each edit to one or two changes.

What the AI will not change

Every render is prompted to leave the fixed parts of the property alone. That keeps the photo honest, which matters because consumer law in most markets prohibits misleading property marketing.

  • Windows and their frames
  • Doors and doorways
  • Walls and wall colour
  • Floors and floor coverings
  • Ceilings and ceiling lines
  • The camera angle and perspective of the original shot

Only loose items are added, replaced or removed: furniture, rugs, art, plants, soft furnishings, lamps, and the moving boxes and clutter a departing tenant leaves behind.
