Living Room Before and After
What actually changes visually, and how to see it on your own photo first. Usually a fireplace, a floor and a lighting plan.

What visibly changes
Living rooms are remodelled for three reasons: the fireplace is dated, the floor is tired, or the lighting is a single fitting in the middle of the ceiling. Address those and the furniture arrangement usually sorts itself out, because it was the room fighting back, not the sofa.

The elements doing the work
Across a set of before-and-afters the same items carry the difference: fireplace and surround, flooring, lighting and switching, built-in joinery, wall finishes. Everything else is detail on top of those.

See it on your own room first
Upload a photo and the Studio renders the finished version from it. A Standard run is 4 credits and new accounts start with 4, so there is a full before-and-after before anything is paid for.
Questions
- What should I decide first in a living room remodel?
- Living rooms are remodelled for three reasons: the fireplace is dated, the floor is tired, or the lighting is a single fitting in the middle of the ceiling. Address those and the furniture arrangement usually sorts itself out, because it was the room fighting back, not the sofa.
- What goes wrong most often?
- A television mounted above the fire, too high to watch comfortably. Joinery built deeper than the chimney breast so the wall reads as lumpy.
- Will it work in a small living room?
- Removing a chimney breast is the one structural move that reliably transforms a small living room, because it returns two alcoves' worth of wall and lets furniture sit flat. It is also the one people regret skipping.
- Can I see it on my own living room before starting?
- Yes — photograph the space and run it through the Studio. It is generated imagery, so compare the render against your photo rather than treating it as a plan.
