Should I keep my room details or let the AI transform everything?
Updated August 19, 2026
Short answer
Keep Room Details and Keep Exact Photo Angle when you are planning a real, budget-limited refresh and need the result to stay recognisable. Turn them off when you want inspiration or a full renovation concept and are happy for the AI to move furniture, change the layout and re-imagine the space.
| Goal | Recommended setup |
|---|---|
| New paint, textiles and decor only | Keep Room Details + Keep Exact Photo Angle, no layout controls |
| New furniture, same room | Keep Exact Photo Angle + Replace Furniture |
| Full renovation concept | No keep-controls, add Open Floor Plan or Space Maximization |
| Show a client several directions | Same photo, three styles, no keep-controls |
| Sell or rent the property | Virtual Staging instead of the Interior Designer |
A useful habit: run one "faithful" version and one "ambitious" version of the same room. The faithful one tells you what you can actually do this month; the ambitious one tells you what the space could become.

Designing a roomWhat do the design controls in DecorAI do?Design controls are optional toggles that steer the AI beyond style and colour. DecorAI has more than 30 of them across five groups — camera and photo, furniture and layout, lighting and atmosphere, architectural elements, and decor and details — and several compatible controls can be selected at once.Design toolsWhat does Virtual Staging do?Virtual Staging furnishes an empty or under-furnished room from a photo. You choose the room type — living room, bedroom, kitchen, dining room, office, kids room, bathroom or a custom type — and a style such as Modern, Scandinavian, Minimalist, Industrial, Bohemian, Mid-Century, Coastal or Japandi, and DecorAI adds a coherent furniture and decor concept.Getting startedDoes DecorAI keep my actual room, or does it invent a new one?DecorAI redesigns the room in your photo rather than generating a new one. Walls, windows, doors, ceiling height, perspective and camera angle are preserved unless you specifically ask for a change, so the result reads as your own space with new finishes, furniture and lighting.
