What is Virtual Staging?
Virtual Staging is a new AI-powered tool (powered by Google Gemini) that lets you redesign rooms, add objects, or clear out furniture – all without physically staging the space. It helps you instantly create styled, market-ready images that boost buyer interest and save time on traditional staging.
How to Access Virtual Staging
Open your project in Content Studio (dashboard)
Click the menu button "..." on the Still photos card and select "AI Enhance" > Choose the photo you want to edit
OR
Open the still photo folder > Choose a still photo > Click on its menu button "..." and select "AI Enhance"
In the top left corner, you can see how many free or paid AI credits you’ve used. Admins or Managers can set paid credit limits on the Billing page.
Pick one of the three options: Place objects; Virtual staging; Remove furniture
Make edits > Choose one of the three options > click "Confirm"
Once you've made edits to all desired still photos click "Save and close"
Find and download the photos from AI Enhanced Variations
Inside AI Enhance, all changes are generated from your original image.
Clicking "Generate" uses one credit and usually produces up to three AI variations, though occasionally only one may be returned. At least one result is always generated.
AI Enhance Options
1. Place Objects
Use this option to add a single item to the room – for example:
plants, lamps, books, flowers, artwork, or small decorations.
How it works
Click the dropdown arrow to open Place Objects description field
Type a short description of the object you want to add
Example: “Tall green plant in a white ceramic pot”
Click the marker icon and place it on the photo where the object should appear
Click "Place Object" to generate results
Pick your favorite from the three versions shown, or click Regenerate to try again
2. Virtual Staging
Use this option to fully redesign or furnish an entire room in a new style.
How it works
Click the dropdown arrow to open Virtual staging description field
Describe the room style, colors, or design you want
For the best results, try following this formula:
[Room Type] + [Design Style] + [Key Furniture Pieces] + [Mood/Lighting]
Examples:
"Living room, Scandinavian style, light wood sofa and coffee table, soft natural daylight”
“Home office, modern style, minimalist desk and ergonomic chair, bright focused lighting”
“Nursery, pastel contemporary style, crib and rocking chair, warm soft lighting”
Click "Generate"
Choose from the three versions created for you
Virtual Staging transforms the whole room – no position marker needed.
3. Remove All Furniture
Use this option when you want an empty, decluttered room.
How it works
Click the dropdown arrow to open Remove furniture description field
Click "Remove" to clear everything from the room
Review the three generated empty-room versions and select your preferred one
Where Your AI Versions Are Stored
AI-generated images are saved separately from your original still photos.
You will find them under "AI Enhanced Variations" inside your project
Your original photo is never overwritten
When you click "Save & Close", the selected AI version is automatically upscaled for higher quality

Important: Use of Artificial Intelligence in Virtual Staging
Giraffe360’s Virtual Staging feature uses generative artificial intelligence (AI) to create or enhance images using Google Gemini.
Generative AI may introduce changes beyond furnishings or decor and, in some cases, may modify the appearance or shape of windows, doors, walls, or other structural elements. Virtual staging may also add, remove, or alter visual elements that were not physically present in the property at the time of capture.
Laws, regulations, and platform rules governing the use and disclosure of AI-generated or digitally altered content vary by jurisdiction and by publishing platform.
You are responsible for determining whether disclosures are required in your specific circumstances and for complying with all applicable real estate advertising, consumer protection, and AI transparency requirements, including ensuring that any required labels, notices, disclaimers, links to original images, or other disclosures are properly displayed when publishing or distributing content created using Giraffe360’s services.
