Scenario	Prompt	Time
	`swap the existing sofa with the reference image furniture, match room lighting and scale`	30-45s
	`replace the dining chairs with the chairs in the reference image, preserve the table, match overhead lighting`	30-45s
	`replace the dated [piece] with the reference furniture, blend with [floor type], match listing photo lighting`	45-60s
	`place the reference furniture into this room replacing the existing similar piece, accurate shadows and perspective`	30-45s

How it works

Upload your room photo

Drop your room photo into EditThisPic. Use a photo with the existing furniture clearly visible and well-lit — real estate listing photos, client walkthrough photos, and phone shots all work. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

Expect: Single furniture swap with clean background: 30-45 seconds. Rooms with complex pattern flooring or wallpaper behind the piece: may need 2-3 refinements for seamless blending.
Upload the new furniture as a reference image

Click '+ Add reference image' below the prompt and upload a photo of the furniture you want to place — a catalog image, showroom screenshot, manufacturer website photo, or your own product shot. This is what makes the two-image workflow powerful: the AI reads the specific piece from your reference and places it precisely in the room.

Tip: White-background catalog photos work best as references. The AI extracts the furniture shape and texture cleanly and ignores the original background.

Generate and review

Check that the new furniture sits on the correct floor plane, matches the room's perspective lines, and has consistent shadow direction. Zoom in to inspect edges where the piece meets the floor and walls for clean blending.
Refine with markers if needed

If the AI replaced the wrong piece or placed the new furniture slightly off, tap a marker directly on the piece to swap and regenerate with the same prompt. Markers are optional — most swaps work without them, but they add precision when the room has multiple similar pieces.

Tip: Markers are for precision refinement, not a required step. Try without them first.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Interior Design Client Presentations

Show clients exactly how a specific sofa, table, or accent chair will look in their actual room — before they commit to a purchase. No 3D software, no rendering budget, no wait time.

Common Scenarios

Presenting two or three sofa options side-by-side using the client's existing room photo
Swapping a dining table from a vendor catalog into the client's dining room for sign-off
Demonstrating how a statement armchair reads at scale in a narrow living room
Replacing a sectional with a different configuration from the same manufacturer

Best Practices

Use the client's highest-resolution room photo for the cleanest result
Pull catalog reference images with white or neutral backgrounds for best extraction
Run swaps for all shortlisted options and export each — send as a PDF deck for approval
Include the room's natural lighting direction in your prompt to avoid mismatched shadows

Presenting a new sofa option to a residential client

swap the existing beige linen sofa with the furniture in the reference image, preserve the room's natural side lighting and hardwood floor reflections

Swapping a dining table from a vendor catalog for client sign-off

replace the round oak dining table with the piece shown in the reference image, match the overhead pendant lighting and the room's perspective angle

Real Estate Virtual Staging

Replace tired or mismatched staging furniture in listing photos with modern, buyer-appealing pieces — without a restageing crew or a new photo shoot.

Common Scenarios

Swapping outdated staging sofas with contemporary alternatives before MLS upload
Replacing a scratched or stained piece that appeared in already-shot listing photos
Offering buyers a furnished-room preview for a vacant property using catalog pieces
Upgrading a mid-tier staging package with premium-looking furniture at zero marginal cost

Best Practices

Use MLS-quality listing photos (typically shot with a wide-angle lens) for the room image
Choose catalog furniture photos that match the room's style era — modern rooms need modern references
Swap one piece per edit for the cleanest result; combine edits for full-room restaging
Describe flooring and wall color so the AI blends edges correctly: 'gray oak flooring, white walls'

Updating staging sofa in a listing photo before MLS upload

replace the dark brown leather sofa with the piece in the reference image, match the bright natural light from the windows on the right and the light gray carpet

Replacing mismatched staging piece in an already-shot listing

swap the outdated floral armchair in the corner with the chair shown in the reference image, matching the room's warm overhead lighting and beige carpet

Home Renovation Planning

Visualize new furniture purchases in your actual room before spending a dollar — using product photos from any retailer's website as references.

Common Scenarios

Checking whether a sofa from IKEA, Wayfair, or West Elm fits the scale of your living room
Comparing two bed frame styles in your bedroom using manufacturer product photos
Planning a living room refresh by swapping every major piece from a single brand
Validating that a specific rug and coffee table combination works before ordering

Best Practices

Take your room photo from the same angle as a typical staging shot — straight on, good light
Screenshot the product image directly from the retailer's website (white-background preferred)
Describe the existing piece by color and type so the AI removes the right item
Try swapping in natural daylight hours for the most accurate lighting simulation

Visualizing a Wayfair sofa in a living room before purchasing

replace the existing gray sectional with the sofa shown in the reference image, keeping the hardwood floor visible and matching the afternoon sunlight from the left window

Comparing two bed frame options in the actual bedroom

swap the wooden bed frame with the bed in the reference image, match the soft overhead bedroom lighting and keep the bedding visible

If something looks off

The new furniture looks too large or too small for the room

Why: The AI misjudged the room's scale without enough context about other objects in the scene.

Try:

swap the existing sofa with the reference furniture, scale it to match the height of the coffee table beside it and the proportions of other furniture in the room

Try This →

Tip: Reference existing furniture dimensions in your prompt: 'scale to match the dining table which seats 6' gives the AI a size anchor

Shadow or lighting on the new piece doesn't match the room

Why: The AI applied default lighting to the placed furniture instead of matching the room's actual light source direction.

Try:

replace the furniture with the reference piece, with shadows falling to the [left/right] to match the window light in the room, same warm/cool tone as the existing lighting

Try This →

Tip: Identify the light source before prompting — 'natural light from the left window' or 'overhead warm pendant' gives the AI a clear direction to match

Furniture legs or base doesn't blend with the floor

Why: Edge blending between the furniture and the floor is a common failure point, especially on patterned rugs or tile.

Try:

swap the furniture and blend the base and legs cleanly with the [hardwood/carpet/tile] floor, with a natural contact shadow beneath the piece

Try This →

Tip: Add 'with a natural grounding shadow beneath' to any furniture prompt — it forces the AI to render the floor contact correctly

AI changed the wrong piece of furniture

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone. This happens with ambiguous requests or rooms with multiple similar pieces.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific furniture piece you want to replace, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS piece specifically.' Use them when the room has multiple sofas, chairs, or similar-colored items.

The reference furniture looks pasted in or has harsh edges

Why: The AI didn't fully match the perspective angle or blend the edges of the new piece with the background wall or floor.

Try:

replace the existing furniture with the reference piece, seamlessly blended into the room with soft edges, matching perspective lines of the walls and floor, no harsh cutout effect

Try This →

Tip: For wide-angle room photos, add 'match the wide-angle perspective distortion of the room' — furniture must lean slightly to match the camera lens

Reference image furniture color or texture changed in the result

Why: The AI adjusted the reference furniture's material to match ambient room tone, which can shift hues.

Try:

swap the sofa with the reference furniture, preserve the exact [teal velvet / dark walnut / cream linen] finish from the reference image, only adjust the lighting direction

Try This →

Tip: Name the material explicitly in the prompt — 'preserve the teal velvet texture' is more reliable than 'keep it the same color'

Quick answers

Do I need to mark or select the furniture before I describe the swap?

No. Just describe which piece to swap: 'replace the beige sofa with the furniture in the reference image.' The AI understands furniture types and positions without any selection tools. Only use the tap-to-mark feature if the room has multiple similar pieces and the AI keeps changing the wrong one.

How do I swap furniture in a room photo using a catalog image?

Upload your room photo to EditThisPic, then click '+ Add reference image' to upload the catalog or product photo of the new furniture. Type a description of what to swap: 'replace the existing sofa with the furniture in the reference image, matching scale and room lighting.' The AI extracts the piece from the catalog photo and places it in your room with correct perspective and lighting. Free, no account required.

Is there a free furniture mockup tool that doesn't require a login?

Yes. EditThisPic's furniture swap tool is free to use with no login or signup required. Upload your room photo and a reference image of the new piece, describe the swap, and download the result without a watermark. You get one free edit per week, or purchase credit packs for more.

What type of reference image works best for furniture swaps?

White-background catalog or product photos work best — the AI cleanly extracts the furniture shape and texture without being confused by a complex background. Showroom photos also work if the piece is clearly visible and not heavily overlapping other furniture. Avoid reference images where the furniture is photographed at a sharp angle or partially cropped.

Can interior designers use this for client presentations?

Yes, and this is one of the most common professional use cases. Upload the client's room photo and reference catalog images for each shortlisted piece. Run a swap for each option and export the results. You can produce a full comparison deck — showing two or three sofa or chair options in the actual room — in under five minutes, without any 3D software or rendering time.

Can real estate agents use this to update listing photos without restaging?

Yes. Upload the existing listing photo as your main image and a catalog photo of the replacement piece as the reference. Describe the swap and download the updated photo. This is useful when a staging piece looks dated, was damaged after shooting, or simply doesn't photograph well. Most listing photo swaps complete in under a minute and require no additional photography appointments.

What is the best AI tool for furniture mockups from a room photo?

EditThisPic handles two-image furniture mockups well: you supply both the room context and the specific piece via a reference photo, and the AI composites them with matched lighting and perspective. This is more accurate than text-only furniture generators because the AI works from the actual product image rather than generating a generic approximation of your description.

How do I make sure the swapped furniture matches the room's lighting?

Describe the light source in your prompt: 'with natural light from the left window' or 'with warm overhead pendant lighting.' Look at how shadows fall on existing furniture and mention that direction. If the first result has mismatched lighting, refine with: 'adjust shadows to fall to the right to match the room's window light.'

Can furniture retailers use this to generate lifestyle room mockups from product photos?

Yes. Retailers can provide a room scene as the main photo and the product image as the reference to generate a room-in-context lifestyle shot without a dedicated photo shoot. This works well for catalog pages, social media content, and product listing images. Run the swap for multiple room styles to create a library of lifestyle contexts for each product.

Can I replace multiple pieces of furniture in one edit?

You can describe multiple swaps in one prompt, but results are most accurate when you swap one major piece at a time. For full-room restaging, edit the largest piece first (typically the sofa), download the result, then upload it again to swap the next piece. This staged approach gives you the most control over each placement.

How do I visualize new furniture in my room before buying it?

Take a clear photo of your room. Screenshot the furniture product image from the retailer's website (most have white-background photos). Upload your room photo to EditThisPic, add the product image as a reference, and describe the swap. The AI places the actual product in your room with correct scale and lighting so you can see whether it fits before purchasing. Free, no account required.
