What angle and framing should I use?
Updated August 19, 2026
Short answer
Shoot from a corner or doorway at roughly chest height, with the camera held level and both a floor line and a ceiling line in the frame. That framing gives DecorAI the perspective cues it needs; close-ups of a single wall, ceiling-only shots and steep downward angles produce the weakest results.
| Framing | Result quality |
|---|---|
| Corner or doorway, level camera, whole room | Best |
| Straight-on wall with floor and ceiling visible | Good |
| Wide-angle phone lens (0.5x) | Usable, but expect bent walls |
| Close-up of one piece of furniture | Poor — the AI has no room to redesign |
| Tilted up or down at a steep angle | Poor — the perspective distorts |
If you want the design to match your photo exactly, enable Keep Exact Photo Angle. If you would rather see the room from a nicer viewpoint, use Change Photo Angle and let the AI re-frame it.

Photos and uploadsWhat makes a good photo for AI interior design?The best photo for DecorAI is taken from a doorway or corner, holds the camera level at about chest height, shows the floor, the walls and part of the ceiling, and is evenly lit and in focus. A photo like that gives the AI enough structure to keep your room recognisable while it restyles it.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.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.
