Change of use: turn one room into another in your photos
Plenty of properties lose value because a room is shown in a use that means nothing to the buyer: a dark bedroom, a storage room, a pass-through space with no clear function.
Change of use removes the existing furniture and refurnishes the room for a different purpose — office, kids' room, walk-in closet, playroom — so buyers can see exactly what they could do with it.
«Virtually staged» disclosure burned into every render
BeforeAfter
When to use it
- A spare bedroom shown as a home office to target remote workers
- A storage room or utility room turned into a walk-in closet
- A pass-through room with no obvious purpose
- An oversized living room where you want to show the dining area
Best practices
- Stay plausible: do not show a bedroom in a room with no window or below the legal minimum size.
- One use per room in the gallery — offering three uses for the same room muddies the message.
- Say in the listing text that the layout shown is a suggestion.
- Keep the style consistent with the rest of the property's images.

Frequently asked questions
Can I show a room in a use it does not currently have?
Yes, as long as it is genuinely achievable and clearly presented as a layout suggestion. Showing a bedroom in a room with no window or below the minimum legal size would be misleading.
Does change of use remove the existing furniture?
Yes. The room is cleared of its current furniture, then furnished and decorated for its new purpose, keeping the volume, the walls and the openings.
Do I need the seller's approval?
It is recommended, as with any virtual staging. The simplest route is to cover the use of these images in the listing agreement.
