Floor change from a room photo

Light wood floor in a bright room used as a floor-change referencePreviewing a floor finish

Floor change is for finish, not furniture shopping by itself — though a new floor can make you want a different rug. Show the existing floor clearly. Do not stand so close that only three boards are visible. DecorAd will not tell you a SKU is in stock. Example prices on rugs still need a tape measure. Tile in a kitchen photo must respect wet zones; we are not a contractor.

Photograph the plane

Tilt down enough to see board direction or tile grid, and keep a door in frame so you know where the finish should stop. Outdoor floors are a different room type. Do not use Floor change on a photo that is mostly ceiling.

Style and room together

Scandinavian light oak is not Gulf stone. Room type keeps a bedroom carpet idea out of a wet kitchen. After you like a floor, you may still run Add furniture for a rug that sits on it. Credits are per successful generate, not per material you mentally try.

What is fake today

The after-image is not your boards with a new stain. It is a catalog room in the style you picked so the studio job is selectable. Real floor edit is later. Visualization only: confirm samples in the real light before you buy flooring.

Use Floor change with your photo

  • Room redesignKeep your walls and walkways. Change the furniture plan so pieces can sit in this room.
  • Empty room stagingStart from a vacant floor and place furniture that can actually fit the room you photographed.
  • Remove furnitureClear pieces you do not want, and keep the architecture so you can plan what to add next.
