How to redesign a room from a photo, step by step.

The steps

1. Take the photo. Stand in a doorway or corner so the room reads as a whole. Use the normal 1x lens, turn the lights on, and avoid ultrawide and portrait mode.
2. Upload it and choose the room and style. In Remodel, pick the room type and a style. A free account can pick from 7 styles in these rooms: living room, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, dining room, office.
3. Say what has to stay. Add your own direction in words, for example “keep the floor, the windows and the fireplace; change the furniture and wall color.”
4. Compare before and after. Drag the slider across the room. Look at what changed and what you actually like about it.
5. Try two more styles. Three versions of the same room show what you keep choosing: the pale wood, the darker walls, the lower sofa.
6. Refine the one you like. On a paid plan, Edit changes one thing you describe and Brush changes only the area you paint over. Both leave the rest of the room alone.
7. Save it. Every design is kept in your Library beside its original for a set time by plan. Download the ones you want to keep.

What changes, and what stays

A redesign keeps the structure of the room: walls, windows, doors and the general proportions. It replaces what sits in it and on it, such as furniture, colors, flooring, lighting and decor. It can change more than you asked for, which is why saying what must stay matters. If a design alters something fixed, run it again or switch to Edit for a single change.

Photos that give poor results

• Dark or blurry photos, where the app has to guess at the room.
• Ultrawide shots, which bend the walls.
• Close-ups of one piece of furniture, with no room around it.
• Rooms photographed through a doorway that hides half of them.

What it won’t give you

The result is an image. It has no measurements, no product names and no prices, and nothing in it is checked for fit. Use it to decide on a direction and to show someone else what you mean, then measure before you buy.
