What is virtual staging?

Virtual staging digitally furnishes an empty room in a listing photograph while keeping the source room as the reference.

Will virtual staging change my room?

Architecture Lock tells the model to preserve walls, windows, doors, floors and fixed features. Every result remains generative, so the listing professional must compare it with the source and reject any drift before publishing.

What does ShowDwell cost?

Three staging credits are free every month. Paid plans start at $29 or £29 per month for 40 rooms, with the checkout currency selected before purchase.

Do I have to disclose virtually staged photos?

Usually yes — most MLSs and advertising rules require staged images to be labelled as virtually staged. The disclosure on the listing is the advertiser’s responsibility.

Furnish the room. Keep the property.

ShowDwell helps real estate agents turn empty listing photos into buyer-ready rooms, with Architecture Lock guardrails designed to preserve fixed features and a side-by-side review before download.
