Will this fit my room? Proportion and scale
Will a sectional overwhelm my living room?Check floor plan clearance and visual weight before committing to a sectional.

Will a recliner look too bulky in my living room?Recliners run 60-70 inches extended. See if yours has room before you buy.

Photo tips
What kind of room photo gives the best furniture preview?Well-lit, eye-level, facing the wall where the furniture will go. Phone camera is fine.
What angle should I photograph my room for a furniture preview?Eye level, facing the wall where you want to place the furniture. No wide-angle needed.
How does room lighting affect a furniture preview?The AI reads your room's light to match the placed furniture. Better light, better match.
Can I use a wide-angle photo of my room?Yes. Standard phone wide-angle works. Only extreme fisheye distortion causes issues.
What is the best product photo for a furniture preview?Clean main product shot on a light background, whole piece visible from the front. Retailer images work.
Can I use a screenshot as a product image?Yes. Crop it close to the product before uploading for the best result.
What should a product photo include for the best furniture preview?Whole piece, plain background, front-facing angle. Avoid lifestyle shots and close-up detail images.
Can I use a dark or dim room photo?You can, but natural daylight gives a noticeably better preview. Open blinds first.
What if my room photo already has furniture in it?That is fine. Most people use a furnished room photo. The new piece is added to the scene.
How tidy does my room need to be for a furniture preview?Not tidy at all. Just clear the target area. The rest of the room can be exactly as it is.
How accurate is the preview?

How accurate is furniture scale in a room visualization?A reliable visual impression of size. Still use a tape measure to confirm it physically fits.

Does a furniture preview show texture and material detail?Yes, at the level visible in the product photo, adapted to your room's light.

How close is a furniture preview to seeing it in person?Between a product listing and a showroom — with one edge: you see it in your own room.
