Getting great staging results depends largely on the quality of your original photos. Follow these best practices to ensure your staged photos look professional and realistic.
Photo Quality Tips
The quality of your input photo directly affects the staging results. Well-lit, clear photos with good composition will produce much better staged results.
- Use natural lighting when possible - open blinds and curtains
- Avoid harsh shadows and dark corners
- Take photos during daytime for best lighting
- Ensure the photo is sharp and in focus
- Use a wide-angle lens to capture the entire room
Room Preparation
Preparing the room before taking photos will help the AI understand the space better and produce more accurate staging results.
- Remove clutter and decorations if possible
- Keep architectural features visible (windows, doors, built-ins)
Camera Positioning
Where you position the camera can make a big difference in how well the staging turns out and how spacious the room appears.
- Stand in a corner to show the maximum amount of the room
- Keep the camera level - avoid tilting up or down
- Include the entire room in the frame when possible
- Avoid shooting directly into windows or bright lights
- Take multiple angles of the same room for variety
Style Selection
Choosing the right style for your target market and property type will help your listings appeal to potential buyers.
- Consider your target demographic and price range
- Match the style to the home's architecture
- Use neutral, broadly appealing styles for most listings
- Try multiple styles to see what works best
- Modern and luxury styles work well for higher-end properties
