Why furniture facelift matters
Shoppers
The sofa's shape is perfect; the color is not.
Designers
Client heirlooms need updating, not replacing.
Flippers
You pick pieces by bones — you need to see them finished.
02
How it works
From upload to download — most renders finish in about a minute.
Upload
A clear photo where the piece is well-lit.
Select
The piece is masked from its surroundings.
Restyle
Name the new finish: fabric type, color, wood tone.
Render
Only the surface changes; shape and stitching stay.
Refine
Try a second colorway for comparison.
Download
Save before/after for the upholsterer or workshop.

Prompt guide
Do this
- Say material, not just color: "boucle", "oiled walnut".
- Keep one piece per pass.
- Shoot the piece straight-on in daylight.
Avoid this
- Changing the shape or size — facelifts are surface-only.
- Multi-piece passes.
- Glossy renders that suggest re-carving.
“Reupholster this armchair in sage boucle; keep the wooden legs.”
“Refinish the table top in a lighter natural oak.”
“Change the headboard fabric to ivory linen; frame stays.”

Under the hood

- Fabric texture (boucle, linen, velvet) renders with weave cues.
- Wood tone changes respect grain direction.
- Structure changes are out of scope — this is a finish tool.

FAQ
Can it change the piece's shape?
No — facelifts change surface material and color only.
How real are fabric textures?
Weave cues render faithfully enough to choose a direction; order physical swatches to confirm.
Can I do a whole matching set?
Run each piece separately for consistent results.
Is this useful for upholstery quotes?
Yes — the before/after communicates exactly what changes to your workshop.
Does lighting matter?
Daylight, straight-on shots render truest.
Can I change wood and fabric together?
Yes — name both in the prompt.
