Virtual renovation

Restyle finishes and fixtures in an existing room.

Virtual renovation changes the surfaces of a room that is already there — walls, flooring, cabinetry, fixtures — while keeping the room's layout and structure. Agents use it to show a dated property's potential, but it earns its keep just as often for renovation contractors quoting a job, architects showing a finish schedule, and homeowners deciding between two kitchens before anyone orders materials.

Renovation or staging?

The two tools solve different problems and are easy to confuse:

Virtual renovation changes the surfaces of a furnished or unfurnished room. Use it when the room exists and the finishes are the problem.
Virtual staging adds furniture to a room, usually an empty one. Use it when the space is bare.

Staging's restyle mode overlaps a little, but it re-dresses furniture rather than re-finishing the room itself.

Options

Option	Type	Values	Default	Required	Description
`style`	string	`moderntraditionalfarmhousescandinavianmid-century-moderncoastalindustrialluxuryminimalistbohemian`	`modern`	optional
`roomType`	string	`living-roombedroomkitchendining-roombathroomhome-officekids-roomstudio`	`living-room`	optional

Both options have defaults, so a request with no options at all renders a modern living-room. Set roomType when the photo is of anything else — it is what stops a bathroom being renovated as if it were a lounge.
