How it works

Upload the room photo

Drop a photo of the room where you want to preview the rug. Shoot at a natural angle showing the floor area where the rug will go. Rooms with visible furniture help the AI judge correct rug scale relative to the space.

Expect: Simple rug placement on clear floor: 30 seconds. Rugs partially under furniture or in complex layouts: may need 2-3 refinements.
Add your rug photo as reference

Click '+ Add reference image' below the prompt and upload your rug sample or product photo. A clean, well-lit shot showing the full rug pattern works best. The AI extracts the rug and places it on the floor with correct perspective, keeping the existing floor visible around the edges.

Tip: Photograph the rug flat from directly above with even lighting. A full rug product shot shows the AI the complete pattern, border, and proportions.

Describe the placement

Tell the AI exactly where and how to place the rug: 'place the rug from the reference on the floor centered under the coffee table, with correct perspective and the edges lying flat on the hardwood.' Be specific about position relative to furniture and whether the rug should extend under any pieces.

Tip: Include 'with the rug lying flat on the floor and furniture legs resting on top of it' for the most realistic result. Rugs that appear to float look immediately fake.

Review and refine

Check that the rug sits naturally on the floor: correct perspective, realistic scale relative to furniture, pattern orientation aligned with the room, and edges lying flat. Verify the existing floor is still visible around the rug perimeter. Zoom in where rug edges meet furniture legs.
Refine with markers if needed

If the rug lands in the wrong spot or at the wrong scale, tap a marker on the exact floor area where the rug center should go and regenerate. Markers help when the room has multiple open floor areas and the AI picks the wrong one.

Tip: Tap the floor spot where the rug's center should be. This anchors the placement precisely in the right zone.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Rug Retail & Online Showrooms

Show customers how each rug looks in a real room setting without unrolling and staging every single piece. Photograph your rug inventory once, then composite any rug into a customer's room photo on the spot or for online listings.

Common Scenarios

Customer sends a living room photo, composite 3 different area rugs for comparison
Create lifestyle room shots for every rug listing on your e-commerce site
Build a visual catalog showing each rug in a styled room setting
Email clients side-by-side comparisons of rug options in their actual room

Best Practices

Photograph each rug flat from above with consistent lighting for a clean reference library
Use room photos with clear furniture for scale reference — a rug alone on empty floor lacks context
Include 'with the pattern oriented toward the sofa' in your prompt for correct pattern direction
Show multiple rug sizes in the same room photo so customers can compare 5x8 vs. 8x10

Area rug preview for a customer's living room

place this area rug from the reference on the living room floor centered under the coffee table, with correct perspective and the rug edges lying flat on the hardwood, matching the room's warm lighting

Runner rug preview for hallway placement

composite this runner rug from the reference in the hallway, extending from the front door toward the kitchen, with correct scale relative to the hallway width

📷

Interior Design Client Presentations

Show clients exactly how a recommended rug anchors a seating arrangement or defines a dining zone in their actual room. Faster than waiting for samples to arrive, more convincing than showing a rug photo alone.

Common Scenarios

Preview a statement rug anchoring a living room seating area for a design proposal
Show how a dining room rug extends beyond chair legs when pulled out
Compare neutral vs. patterned rugs in a client's bedroom for final selection
Demonstrate rug layering — a smaller accent rug over a larger jute base rug

Best Practices

Use the client's actual room photos for maximum presentation impact
Specify furniture placement on the rug: 'front sofa legs on the rug, back legs on the floor'
For dining rooms, note 'rug extends 24 inches beyond the table on all sides' to show proper sizing
Create multiple composites showing the same rug at different sizes for sizing guidance

Dining room rug sizing visualization for client

place this Persian rug from the reference under the dining table, large enough that all chairs remain on the rug when pulled out, with correct perspective and the pattern centered under the table

Living room rug anchoring seating arrangement

composite this neutral jute rug from the reference under the living room seating area, with the front legs of both sofas resting on the rug and the rug edges lying flat on the hardwood floor

Home Staging & Real Estate

Add warmth and definition to empty or sparsely furnished rooms by compositing a rug into the space. Unlike virtual staging that generates AI furniture, this places your actual rug product into the room photo for realistic staging shots.

Common Scenarios

Add a rug to an empty living room listing to make it feel furnished and warm
Define zones in an open-plan space by placing rugs in the living and dining areas
Show a runner rug in a long hallway to add visual interest for a listing photo
Stage a bedroom with a rug at the foot of the bed for a cozy look

Best Practices

Choose rugs that match the home's aesthetic — modern geometric for contemporary, traditional for classic homes
Place rugs where they define a clear zone: under seating, in front of fireplace, beside the bed
Include 'lying flat with natural fiber texture visible' for realistic staging
Pair rug staging with furniture compositing for a fully staged room in minutes

Rug staging for empty living room listing

place this large area rug from the reference in the center of the empty living room, lying flat on the hardwood floor with a soft shadow underneath, matching the room's natural daylight

Bedroom rug staging for real estate photo

composite this bedroom rug from the reference at the foot of the bed, extending out on both sides, with the rug edges lying flat on the carpet and matching the room's warm bedside lamp lighting

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or replaced the entire floor instead of placing a rug

Why: The AI interpreted 'place on floor' as 'replace the floor,' compositing the rug pattern wall-to-wall instead of as a discrete object sitting on top. This is the most common mistake with rug composites.

Try:

Tap a marker on the specific floor area where the rug should sit, then use: 'place the rug from the reference as a separate object ON TOP of the existing floor at this spot, with visible floor around all edges'

Try This →

Tip: Always include 'on top of the existing floor with floor visible around the edges' to distinguish rug placement from floor replacement.

Rug scale is wrong — too large or too small relative to furniture

Why: The AI misjudged the rug's real-world size relative to the room. Without dimensional cues, it guesses and often gets the proportion wrong.

Try:

place the rug from the reference at approximately 8 feet by 10 feet scale, centered under the coffee table with at least 12 inches of floor visible beyond the sofa on each side

Try This →

Tip: Include real dimensions in your prompt: '5x7 rug' or '8x10 area rug' gives the AI a concrete scale anchor relative to standard furniture sizes.

Rug edges appear to float above the floor

Why: The AI didn't properly ground the rug on the floor surface, creating a visible gap or shadow in the wrong position.

Try:

place the rug lying completely flat on the floor with edges touching the surface, with a very subtle shadow only at the rug edges where it meets the floor

Try This →

Tip: Add 'lying flat with edges touching the floor' in every rug prompt. Unlike furniture with legs, rugs should have zero gap between object and floor.

Pattern orientation looks wrong or is rotated

Why: The AI placed the rug pattern at an arbitrary angle instead of aligning it with the room layout or furniture orientation.

Try:

place the rug with the pattern oriented parallel to the sofa, with the pattern's long axis running the same direction as the room's longest wall

Try This →

Tip: Specify pattern direction explicitly: 'pattern parallel to the sofa' or 'medallion centered under the table' prevents random rotation.

Rug looks painted onto the floor rather than sitting on top

Why: The AI composited the rug as a flat texture applied to the floor plane rather than as a 3D object with thickness and fiber texture.

Try:

composite the rug as a physical object with visible pile texture and slight edge thickness, sitting on top of the floor rather than blended into it

Try This →

Tip: Including 'with visible pile texture and a slight lift at the edges' adds the physicality that distinguishes a rug from a floor decal.

Furniture legs don't appear to rest on the rug naturally

Why: The rug was placed as a layer behind or beside the furniture instead of under it, creating a disconnected look.

Try:

place the rug under the coffee table with the table legs and front sofa legs resting on top of the rug surface, with the rug visible between and around the furniture legs

Try This →

Tip: Describe the furniture-rug interaction: 'table legs on the rug' or 'sofa front legs on the rug, back legs on the floor' creates the layered realism.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark where to place the rug in the room?

No. Describe the placement in words: 'place the rug under the coffee table' or 'put the rug in front of the sofa.' The AI understands spatial references like 'centered in the seating area' and 'under the dining table.' Use markers only when the room has multiple open floor areas and the AI keeps picking the wrong spot.

How do I preview what a rug looks like in my room from a product photo?

Upload your room photo as the main image. Click '+ Add reference image' and upload the rug product photo. Type 'place this rug from the reference on the floor centered under the coffee table, matching the room perspective and scale.' The AI composites your exact rug onto the floor in about 30 seconds. The existing floor remains visible around the rug edges, just like a real rug placement.

Is there a free tool to preview rugs in room photos without signing up?

Yes. EditThisPic lets you composite any rug photo into any room photo completely free, with no signup and no watermark. Unlike rug brand visualizers that only show their own catalog, you can photograph any rug from any source and preview it in any room. One free edit per week, or purchase credits starting at $1.99 for more.

How is this different from the flooring sample compositor?

The flooring compositor REPLACES the entire floor surface — swapping hardwood for tile, carpet for vinyl. This rug tool PLACES a rug ON TOP of the existing floor as a separate object. The existing floor stays visible around the rug edges. Use the flooring tool when you want to change the floor material. Use this tool when you want to preview a rug sitting on your current floor.

What kind of rug photo works best as a reference?

A clean, well-lit overhead shot of the full rug showing the complete pattern, border, and proportions. Product photos from e-commerce sites work well. Avoid angled shots or photos where the rug is rolled up or folded. If you only have a small swatch, the AI will tile the pattern, but a full rug photo gives more realistic results for the border and corners.

Can I show different rug sizes in the same room for comparison?

Yes. Upload the same room photo multiple times, each time with the same rug reference. Change the size in your prompt: 'place as a 5x7 rug' then 'place as an 8x10 rug.' Generate each composite separately and compare them side by side. This helps customers or clients choose the right size for their space.

What is the best free AI tool for rug room visualization?

EditThisPic is a strong option for compositing real rug product photos into room scenes. Unlike brand-specific rug visualizers that limit you to their catalog, you upload any rug photo and any room photo. The AI handles perspective matching, scale, and lighting automatically. Free to try with no account required.

Will the rug composite show correct placement under furniture?

Yes, when described properly. Tell the AI which furniture should sit on the rug: 'with the coffee table legs on the rug and the sofa front legs on the rug edge.' The AI renders the rug beneath the furniture with correct layering. For dining tables, specify 'rug extends past the chairs when pulled out' to show proper sizing. Complex furniture interactions may need 2-3 refinements.
