Uploading a Photo
- Navigate to your project, click Create New Asset, and select Stage & Declutter.
- Drag and drop your photo or click browse to select a file.
- Formats: JPG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC
- Max size: 10 MB
- Best results: Well-lit, wide-angle interior photo
Staging Modes
Choose one of three modes depending on your starting photo:
Clean Up
Removes existing furniture and belongings, leaving the room empty. Best for:
- Occupied properties you want to show as blank canvas
- Rooms with clutter that needs to be cleared
Cleanup options:
- Upscale photo - enhances resolution and sharpens details
- Clean walls, ceiling & flooring - removes stains, scuff marks, and imperfections from surfaces
Stage
Fills an empty room with stylish furniture and decor. Best for:
- Vacant properties
- Photos that are already empty
Clean Up + Stage
A combined two-step workflow: first removes existing items, then stages with new furniture and decor. This is the most convenient option for furnished rooms.
Note: Clean Up + Stage requires the Premium tier. With Classic, use Clean Up and Stage as separate steps.
Styling Options
When staging (or cleaning + staging), you can customize the look:

| Industrial | Exposed elements, metal accents, raw textures |
| Mid-Century Modern | Retro-inspired, organic shapes, warm tones |

Tips for Best Results
- Use wide-angle photos - they give the AI more context about the room layout.
- Good lighting matters - well-lit photos produce more realistic staging.
- Choose the right room type - this helps the AI place appropriate furniture.
- Front-facing shots work best - angled or distorted perspectives can reduce quality.
- Add notes for specifics - if you want particular furniture or colors, mention them in the Additional Notes field.
