Upload a Photo
Click Upload Original and choose a photo of the room or outdoor space you want to transform. A clear, well-lit shot taken straight-on gives the best results.
Choose Your Settings
Pick the space type, room type, design style, mood, and what kind of change you want. The more specific you are, the closer the result will be to your vision.
Apply
Hit the red Apply button. The AI processes your image — this usually takes 15–30 seconds. The result appears in the Generated Image panel on the left.
Enhance & Download
Fine-tune the result with the Image Enhancement sliders, remove any unwanted objects, then click Download Result to save your finished image.
Choose Indoor for any interior room, or Outdoor for front yards, back yards, patios, and gardens. This changes the available room types and design styles to match.
Select the specific room or area — Lounge, Kitchen, Master Bedroom, Front Yard, etc. Telling the AI what kind of space it's working with helps it choose appropriate furniture and layouts.
The design aesthetic to apply. Indoor styles range from Sleek Modern and Airy Scandinavian to Cozy Farmhouse and Breezy Bohemian. Outdoor styles include Japanese Garden, Cottage Charm, and Timeless Native, among others.
Controls the lighting feel of the generated scene — from Bright Daytime and Soft Morning through to Warm Evening, Twilight, and Nighttime. Leave blank to let the AI decide based on the photo.
Hint to the AI about how much space there is to work with — Small, Medium, Large, or Open Plan. Leave blank to let the AI infer it from the photo.
A free-text field for anything specific — "Add a large cream rug", "Keep the fireplace visible", "Use neutral tones". This is one of the most powerful controls — be as specific as you like.
Fill
Best for empty or sparsely furnished rooms. The AI adds furniture, décor, rugs, plants, and lighting to populate the space in your chosen style. The go-to mode for vacant property staging.
Tip: works best when there's plenty of empty floor space visible in the photo.
Replace
Best for furnished rooms you want to re-style. The AI replaces the existing furniture and décor with new items matching your chosen style, while keeping the room's structure intact.
Tip: works best when existing furniture is clearly visible and not heavily cluttered.
Declutter
Best for messy or overly busy spaces. The AI tidies the room by removing excess items, keeping essential furniture in place. Great for making a lived-in home look photo-ready.
Tip: use Additional Instructions to specify what to keep — e.g. "Keep the dining table and chairs".
Clear
Removes all furnishings to produce a bare, empty room. Useful when you want to show buyers a blank canvas, or as a first step before using Fill to re-stage from scratch.
Tip: Style and Type selections are less relevant here — Clear focuses purely on emptying the space.
Add / Change Curtains
Toggles a request for the AI to add curtains or replace existing window treatments as part of the transformation. Works with both Indoor Fill and Replace. Use Additional Instructions to specify colour or style — e.g. "Linen drapes in soft white".
Add Sunset Sky
Outdoor only. Replaces a flat or overcast sky with a warm sunset — a quick way to dramatically lift the appeal of an outdoor photo. If you try to use this on an Indoor space, HomeTomo will let you know and turn it off automatically.
After the AI generates an image, fine-tune it with these sliders — all applied in real time. They adjust the pixel values of the result without re-running the AI.
Makes the whole image lighter or darker. Default is 100 (no change). Useful when the generated image looks slightly dim.
Increases or decreases the difference between light and dark areas. Higher contrast makes the image punchier; lower gives a softer, flatter look.
Simulates camera exposure — pushing it up brightens the image overall. Pull it down to recover detail in overexposed shots.
Boosts colour saturation intelligently — it lifts muted colours more than vivid ones, so the result looks natural. Great for making a room feel warmer and more inviting.
Slides between cool (blue) and warm (orange/yellow) tones. Drag right for a warmer, cosier feel; left for a cooler look.
Adjusts only the brighter parts of the image. Pull down to recover blown-out windows; push up to make bright areas glow.
Adjusts only the darker areas. Push up to lift shadow detail and brighten dark corners; pull down to deepen shadows for a moodier result.
Applies a gamma curve to the midtones. Pushing right brightens mid-range tones; pulling left darkens them for more depth.
A one-click look combining tone mapping, a saturation boost, and a clarity pass to give the image an HDR feel — richer colours, lifted shadows, and more perceived sharpness.
Paint over anything you want removed — a power socket, a smoke alarm, a stray chair — and the AI fills in the area naturally.

1.
Activate the brush
Click Paint to Remove. The button turns blue to show the brush is active. You can paint on either the Original or the Generated image.
-
2.
Adjust the brush size
A brush size slider appears. Use a larger brush than the object — covering slightly into the surrounding area helps the AI understand what to fill in with.
-
3.
Paint over the object
Click and drag to paint a red mask over the object. Use Erase mode (turns amber) to unpaint any areas you accidentally covered. Click Clear to start the mask over entirely.
-
4.
Click Remove
The AI removes the masked area and fills it in. The result appears in the Generated Image panel and is saved to History. If the result isn't clean enough, try again with a slightly bigger mask area.
Every generated image — whether from Apply or Object Removal — is saved to the History panel automatically. Click any entry to reload that image into the Generated panel and continue working from it, or use the trash icon to remove entries you no longer need.
Note: history is stored in your browser session only. Refreshing the page will clear it.
Use well-lit, straight-on photos
Photos taken in natural daylight, without strong shadows or a heavily angled perspective, give the AI the clearest picture of the space to work with.
Be specific in Additional Instructions
Vague prompts produce generic results. "Add a navy velvet sofa facing the window and a round wooden coffee table" will outperform "add some furniture" every time.
Match the Type of Change to your photo
Fill works best on empty rooms. Replace works best when existing furniture is clearly visible. Using Fill on a cluttered room may produce unexpected results — try Declutter first.
Iterate — don't settle for the first result
The AI is generative, so every run produces a different result. If you're not happy, adjust a setting or tweak the instructions and hit Apply again. Previous results stay in History.
Use Enhancement after generation
AI images sometimes need a small brightness or vibrance lift to look their best. Try a quick HDR Aesthetic toggle or a slight temperature push to warm the scene up before downloading.
Paint generously for object removal
When removing an object, paint a mask slightly larger than the object itself. Including a bit of the surrounding context helps the AI fill the gap more convincingly.
