1. Upload an empty room photo
Start with a bright, well-framed room photo. Planua works best when walls, windows, and floor lines are visible and the room is not heavily blocked.
Getting Started
The fastest path from empty room photo to believable staged result.
This guide covers the standard workflow most teams will use in their first few days with Planua.
2. Set the staging direction
Choose the furnishing style, buyer profile, mood, color direction, and any furniture brands or exact pieces you want the result to reflect.
3. Generate one or more concepts
Create a single concept for speed or several alternatives when you want to compare different staging directions for the same listing.
4. Refine what matters
Use the refine workflow to adjust furniture, materials, styling, or lighting without rebuilding the whole scene from scratch.
Best practices
How to get cleaner outputs
Use bright, well-framed room photos with minimal blur and as little obstruction as possible.
Mention the target buyer or property tier so the staging direction feels commercially useful, not generic.
Specify brands or hero pieces when you want premium art direction instead of placeholder furnishing.
Keep instructions concrete. A few clear constraints outperform a long list of vague wishes.
If the images will be published into an MLS, verify the local disclosure rules before you export or publish virtually staged results.
