How to restage a room in a photo for a real estate or rental listing

Updated · Reviewed by The Rift team

Short answer

Add a photo of the room to Rift and tell Spark the change, such as a living room in warm modern style with a sofa, rug and plants. Spark keeps the walls, windows and layout from your photo and rebuilds what you named. Check the Draft, tap Make, and save the picture to your Library. Tell viewers it is restaged.

Add a photo of the room and name the furniture and style you want, and Spark restages it as a picture. A restaged photo can show a buyer or a renter what the room could be.

It must be honest. A restaged image is a style idea, not a record of the room, so label it.

What you need

Step by step

  1. Add the photo. Open Rift and add the room.
  2. Tell Spark the change. “Keep the walls and windows. Furnish it in a scandi style.”
  3. Check the Draft. Spark shows what stays (the room) and what changes (the furniture).
  4. Make. Tap Make. Ask for up to 4 versions to compare.
  5. Save and label. Save the picture in your Library and mark it as restaged when you post.

Questions people ask

Do I need to say the photo is restaged?

Yes. Label restaged or virtually staged photos in your listing. A restaged image shows a style, not what is in the room.

Will the room layout stay the same?

Spark keeps the walls, windows and layout it can see in your photo. Check the Draft for anything that moves.

Can I see more than one style?

Yes. Ask for up to 4 versions at once and compare.

Can I restage a room for a rental listing?

Yes. Add a photo of the room, name the furniture you want, and label the picture as restaged when you post.

Can it remove clutter?

Yes. Ask Spark to clear the floor and surfaces and keep the room.
