Preview a rug in your room

What you will get

Your room photo with a rug in the pattern, colour and size you named, centred under the furniture, with matching perspective, lighting and soft contact shadows, and the rest of the room untouched.

Common mistake

The rug looks like a flat sticker lying on the floor.

Fix: Ask for “follow the floor’s perspective, with soft shadows under the furniture legs and a slight edge shadow”. A photo taken from a higher angle shows the floor better.

Also watch for

The size is wrong against the sofa or bed. Write real sizes, such as “5 by 8 feet, front legs of the sofa on the rug”, instead of words like large or small.
The pattern changes or repeats oddly. Describe it plainly, for example “a geometric cream and navy rug with a thin border”, or upload a photo of the real rug as a second image.

Try a variation: compare three sizes

As the tip says, ask for “three versions: 4 by 6, 5 by 8 and 8 by 10 feet”. Compare how much floor shows around each before you order one.

Still not right? Reply with this

Keep the room and furniture exactly the same. Use the next size down for the rug and keep its pattern and colours as described.
