Best Practices
For Real Estate Listings
- Neutral Appeal: Use colors and styles that appeal to the broadest audience
- Show Scale: Include furniture that helps buyers understand room dimensions
- Preserve Features: Ensure architectural details (fireplaces, windows, moldings) remain visible
- Consistency: Maintain the same style throughout a property listing
For Maximum Realism
- Match Lighting: Request furniture that matches the existing room lighting
- Appropriate Scale: Ensure furniture fits naturally in the space
- Shadows & Reflections: High-quality staging includes realistic shadows
Pro Tips
- Always provide high-resolution source images
- Specify the style upfront to avoid iterations
- Use session_id to generate consistent styling across multiple rooms
