What virtual staging is

Virtual staging is the process of adding or editing furniture, finishes, and other visual details in a real estate listing photo using image-editing software instead of physical furniture. It starts from an existing photo of the room, usually empty or partially furnished, and produces a new image showing how the space could look furnished, renovated, or repaired. The room's structure, windows, and camera angle stay unchanged; only the interior elements are edited.

What you can change from a single photo

  • Furnish an empty room

    Add furniture and decor while preserving the room's layout and camera perspective.

  • Declutter a lived-in room

    Remove furniture and personal items while keeping walls, floors, and lighting intact.

  • Finish an unfinished room

    Complete walls, flooring, and lighting in a room that isn't move-in ready yet.

  • Replace flooring

    Swap the floor covering without changing the room's geometry or camera angle.

  • Repaint walls

    Change wall color while preserving texture, shadows, and room geometry.

  • Enhance the sky

    Replace a flat or overcast sky with a clearer one, keeping building edges natural.

  • Enhance the garden

    Improve landscaping and greenery while preserving the property's structure.

Disclosure

Most MLS boards and brokerages expect listings to note when a photo has been virtually staged, the same way a rendering or a floor plan gets labeled. Treat it as a standard step in your listing workflow, not an afterthought: add a short line such as "Virtually staged" to the photo caption or the listing description before it goes live, and confirm the exact wording your brokerage prefers. Being upfront about virtual staging keeps buyer walkthroughs straightforward and protects your listing's credibility.

Frequently asked questions

What is virtual staging?

Virtual staging is the process of adding or editing furniture, finishes, and other visual details in a real estate listing photo using image-editing software instead of physical furniture. It starts from an existing photo of the room, usually empty or partially furnished, and produces a new image showing how the space could look furnished, renovated, or repaired. The room's structure, windows, and camera angle stay unchanged; only the interior elements are edited.

How much does virtual staging cost?

CasaNova Labs includes a monthly credit balance, sized on a property count at 10 photos each and spent at 1 credit per photo. Plans run from €42/month for 3 properties (30 credits, €1.40 per photo) up to €179/month for 20 properties (200 credits, €0.90 per photo). Annual billing charges 10 months across 12, and the launch code EARLY30 takes 30% off annual plans.

Do I need to disclose that a listing photo is virtually staged?

Most MLS boards and brokerages expect a short disclosure when a photo has been virtually staged, similar to noting a rendering or a floor plan. Add a line such as 'Virtually staged' to the photo caption or listing description before publishing, and confirm the exact wording your brokerage prefers. Being upfront protects your listing's credibility with buyers who walk through in person.

Can virtual staging change more than just furniture?

Yes. Beyond furnishing an empty room, the same single-photo workflow can declutter a lived-in room, finish an unfinished room, replace flooring, repaint walls, and enhance the sky or garden. Each edit preserves the room's original layout and camera perspective.

Does virtual staging work from any listing photo, or only empty rooms?

It works from any existing property photo, whether the room is empty, partially furnished, or fully furnished with outdated decor. The starting photo determines which edit makes sense, for example furnishing an empty room versus decluttering a lived-in one.

Is virtual staging sold as a subscription or per photo?

Both. CasaNova Labs' plans are billed monthly per number of properties, with a set number of photos included in each plan. The effective per-photo price drops as the plan size increases, from €1.40 per photo on the smallest plan to €0.90 per photo on the largest.
