1 photo edit credit per staging, from the same pool as photo edits

Staging adds furniture and decor to a room. It is made to leave walls, windows and doors where they are, so the photo still shows the real space. Reel-E works out the room type, so a bedroom is staged as a bedroom.

Stage a room

  1. Open the shot's Photo tab and choose Staging

    See Edit a photo for how to open a photo.

  2. Pick a style

    Keep Choose style selected and pick one under Choose a style: Modern Minimal, Scandinavian, Luxury, Coastal, Japandi or Transitional.

  3. Press Stage photo

    It shows Staging… and then the staged room. The staged photo replaces the empty one in your video.

Match another room

Staging several rooms of one home? Make them look like one home.

  1. Stage the first room with a style

  2. Open the next room and choose Match photo

    Open its Photo tab, choose Staging, then Match photo.

  3. Pick the staged room under Choose a reference

    Turn on Same room from another angle when both photos show the same room.

    Match photo, with a staged room picked under Choose a reference
    Match photo on a phone
  4. Press Match photo

Undo a staging

Staging is a version like any other edit. Use original puts the empty room back; History has every version. See Edit a photo.

Labels and disclosure

Staged photos show the real property with furniture added. Many markets expect them to be disclosed. On California listings, your listing website labels staged and matched photos "Virtually staged" and links the originals. The switch is Label edited photos (California law) in Website settings. Check your own MLS and local rules; Reel-E does not decide them for you.

Tips

If something looks off

"This photo couldn't be staged. Try a different style." means that style was turned down for this photo. Another style usually works, and no credit is used.
