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.

Virtual Staging is available in AI Studio, a new section inside your dashboard.


During the Beta phase, this feature is free.

How to Access Virtual Staging

  1. Open your project in Content Studio (dashboard)

  2. Click the menu button "..." on the Still photos card and select "Enhance in AI Studio" > Choose the photo you want to edit

    OR

    Open the still photo folder > Choose a still photo > Click on its menu button "..." and select "Enhance in AI studio"

  3. Pick one of the three options

    • Place objects

    • Virtual staging

    • Remove furniture

  4. Make edits > Choose one of the three options > click "Confirm"

  5. Once you've made edits to all desired still photos click "Save and close"

  6. Find and download the photos from AI Enhanced Variations

Inside AI Studio, all changes are generated from your original image.
Each request creates three AI variations – simply pick your favorite to continue.

Options Available in AI Studio

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

  1. Click the dropdown arrow to open Place Objects description field

  2. Type a short description of the object you want to add

    • Example: “Tall green plant in a white ceramic pot”

  3. Click the marker icon and place it on the photo where the object should appear

  4. Click "Place Object" to generate results

  5. 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

  1. Click the dropdown arrow to open Virtual staging description field

  2. Describe the room style, colors, or design you want

    • Examples:

      • “Scandinavian living room with neutral tones”

      • “Modern home office with minimal décor”

      • “Nursery with light pastel colors and soft textiles”

  3. Click "Generate"

  4. 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

  1. Click the dropdown arrow to open Remove furniture description field

  2. Click "Remove" to clear everything from the room

  3. 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.

What to Expect During the Beta

Editing

  • AI-enhanced images cannot be edited again in AI Studio

  • AI-enhanced images cannot be edited in the regular Still Photo Editor

  • To make changes, you’ll need to Revert to Original and start a new prompt.

Processing

  • AI Studio uses a third-party service (Google Gemini)

  • Results may occasionally look imperfect or differ from the original image

  • If a prompt cannot be processed, an error message will appear
