    Upload the empty room

    Take a photo of the empty room in landscape orientation with good natural light. Lumistate works best with clear floor space and visible walls. Upload directly from your phone or camera roll.

    Shoot from a corner to maximize the visible floor area — this gives the AI more space to work with and produces the most realistic staging.

    Pick a staging style

    Choose from styles like Modern Minimalist, Scandinavian, Mid-Century, Coastal, Traditional, or Luxury. Each style uses appropriate furniture, materials, and décor that match real interior design principles.

    Match the staging style to the property's architecture — a Victorian home looks odd with ultra-modern furniture. When in doubt, 'Modern Minimalist' is the safest choice.

    Choose your staging level

    Select 'Light' for a few accent pieces (a rug, lamp, and plant), 'Medium' for a fully furnished room, or 'Full' for complete staging with wall art, accessories, and textiles. Each level adds progressively more detail.

    For small rooms, use 'Light' staging to avoid visual clutter. For large living areas and master bedrooms, 'Full' staging shows the space's potential best.

    Review and download

    Preview the staged result with the before/after slider. If something looks off, you can re-process with a different style or level at no additional cost. Download the final image in MLS-ready resolution.

    Always disclose that the listing uses virtual staging — Lumistate can automatically embed this metadata in the image file and add a disclosure watermark if required in your jurisdiction.
