How it works
Shoot from a corner with a level camera so the walls, windows and floor are all visible. Turn the lights on, open the blinds and make sure the room is clean and clear.
Pick one of 8 room types (living room, bedroom, dining room, home office, kitchen, bathroom, nursery or studio), one of 8 staging styles, and a budget level: Budget-Friendly, Mid-Range or High-End.
You get a furnished version in about 30 seconds, with the existing architecture, walls, windows and flooring unchanged. Try another style or budget on the same photo and download the one that suits the property.
What works
A neutral, broadly appealing style usually works best for listings. Match the budget level to the property, so a starter home is not staged like a penthouse.
Empty rooms are hard to read. A clear purpose, such as a dining table in the dining room or a desk in the office, helps buyers picture living there.
Furniture that is too large makes a room look smaller, and pieces that are too small make it look empty. Choose a furniture arrangement that leaves clear walkways.
Good natural light makes both real and staged photos look better. Shoot in daylight with the lights on, and avoid harsh shadows.
A few accessories are enough. Buyers should be able to imagine their own belongings, so leave breathing space.
Many listings show the staged photo next to the empty one, so buyers can see the real room. It is honest and it helps them trust the rest of the listing.

No. It keeps the room's architecture, walls, windows and flooring unchanged and adds the furniture and decor on top.
Rules vary by listing service and local real estate board, and many expect staged images to be disclosed. Check the rules that apply to you, and label staged photos clearly, ideally alongside the empty room.

Physical staging means renting furniture and paying for delivery and setup, which typically costs far more per listing. Virtual staging is a set of edited photos, so it only changes how the property looks in pictures, not how it looks in person.
