AI virtual staging for real estate listings
To virtually stage a room with AI, photograph the empty room, upload it to NiceLook's Architecture module and describe the furniture and style you want, for example “furnish as a bright Scandinavian living room”. Each image takes about 30 seconds, and the 100 free sign-up credits cover five tries at 1K.

How do I virtually stage a room with AI?
- Photograph the empty room in landscape orientation, lights on and blinds open.
- Sign up on NiceLook with Google: 100 free credits, no credit card.
- Open the Architecture module and upload the photo (JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB).
- Describe the staging: room type, style, colours. For example “furnish as a family dining room, oak table, light linen curtains, keep walls, windows and floor unchanged”.
- Generate at 1K (20 credits), check that the room itself has not changed, then generate the final image at 2K or 4K (40 credits).
What can you do with the Architecture module?
- Furnish empty rooms so buyers can picture how to live in the space.
- Show a style: the same bedroom staged as a guest room or a home office.
- Preview a renovation: new paint colours or a different floor, presented as a project, not as the current state.
- Enhance exteriors: natural light and a tidy landscaped environment around a building.
- Render a project from a plan, sketch or model, for off-plan sales or a renovation pitch.
Do I have to disclose virtual staging?
Be transparent. Many property portals, professional bodies and local rules expect virtually staged photos to be labelled as such, and the details vary by country, so check the rules that apply to you. Even where nothing is written down, an unlabelled staged photo damages trust at the first viewing.
- Label each staged photo, for example “virtually staged”.
- Keep the original, unstaged photo in the listing as well.
- Never use staging to hide defects such as damp, cracks or worn floors.
- Never change the structure: walls, windows, doors, ceiling height or the view.
Tips for the source photo
- Shoot from a corner at about chest height, to show as much of the room as possible.
- Keep vertical lines straight: hold the phone level rather than tilting it up or down.
- Even light: turn on all lights and open blinds; avoid shooting straight into a bright window.
- Empty and clean: the module works best on an empty room. Remove boxes and cables first.
Is it free?
Free to try: 100 credits on sign-up, no credit card, which is 5 images at 1K or 2 at 2K/4K. The first 2 free images carry a small badge and the following ones a more visible watermark, removed for good after your first credit purchase.
Good to know
- Not a contractual document: a staged image shows an intention, not the property's actual condition or a technical plan.
- Furniture scale is illustrative: generated furniture may not match the room's real dimensions, so do not use it to prove that a given sofa fits.
- One image at a time: no batch processing, no public API, no integration with listing portals.
- Rights and privacy: images made from your photos belong to you, commercial use included; they are stored on a server in France and never used to train AI models.

FAQ
Can I do AI virtual staging for free?
You can try it: NiceLook gives 100 free credits on sign-up, no credit card, for 5 images at 1K. Free images carry a badge or watermark, removed after your first credit purchase from €4.99.
Is AI virtual staging allowed in property listings?
It is widely used, but it should be disclosed. Label staged photos, keep the originals in the listing, and check the rules of your country and of the portals you publish on.
Can I stage a room from a phone photo?
Yes. A sharp, level phone photo of the empty room, taken with the lights on, works well in NiceLook's Architecture module.
Does the AI keep the room's layout?
The instruction asks it to, but always check walls, windows, doors and floor against the original photo, and discard any version that changes the structure.
