Tips & Best Practices
Master the art of creating perfect interior design with these expert tips and recommendations for getting the best results.
Golden Rule for Great Results
The quality of your input directly affects your output. Clear, well-lit photos with a single, centered subject produce the best interior design. Spend a moment preparing your image for amazing results!
Photo Quality Tips
Use High Resolution Images
Higher resolution gives the AI more detail to work with.
- ✓Aim for at least 1000x1000 pixels
- ✓Modern smartphone photos work great
- ✓Avoid screenshots or heavily compressed images
Avoid Blurry or Low-Quality Room Images
Blurry images lead to blurry interior design. The AI can't add detail that isn't there.
- ✗Out-of-focus or motion-blurred photos
- ✗Heavily zoomed or cropped images
- ✗Low-resolution webcam screenshots
Lighting Matters
Good Lighting Examples
- Natural daylight (near a window)
- Outdoor photos on overcast days
- Well-lit indoor spaces with multiple light sources
- Even lighting on the subject's face/body
Poor Lighting Examples
- Harsh direct sunlight creating strong shadows
- Dark, underexposed photos
- Backlit subjects (light source behind them)
- Room Images with mixed color temperature lighting
Pro Tip: The Window Trick
For indoor photos, position your subject facing a large window (but not directly in sunlight). This creates soft, flattering light perfect for interior design generation.
Composition & Framing
Center Your Subject
Place your subject in the center of the frame for best results.
- ✓Subject takes up 50-80% of the frame
- ✓Face or main features clearly visible
- ✓Minimal distracting background elements
Cropping Tips
Before uploading, crop your image to focus on your subject:
- For people: Include full head and shoulders, or full body
- For pets: Get the whole animal in frame if possible
- For objects: Isolate the object with minimal background
One Subject Per Image
Sapience AI works best with a single, clearly defined subject.
✓ Works Great
Single person headshot, solo pet portrait, one object on plain background
✗ May Not Work Well
Group photos, multiple pets, cluttered scenes with many objects
Colors & Style
Avoid Heavy Filters
While Instagram filters look cool, they can confuse the AI.
- ✓Natural, unfiltered photos
- ✓Light color correction is fine
- ✗Heavy vintage or artistic filters
- ✗Black and white (color photos work better)
Color Vibrancy
Room Images with good color saturation produce more vibrant interior design. Natural lighting helps colors appear true and vivid.
Subject-Specific Tips
📸 For People
- Front-facing photos work best
- Smiling expressions create friendly interior design
- Avoid photos with hands covering face
- Both headshots and full-body shots work great
- Remove sunglasses and hats if possible
🐾 For Pets
- Get down to your pet's eye level
- Make sure both eyes are visible
- Sitting or standing poses work better than lying down
- Avoid action shots or blurry movement
- Natural fur color shows best (avoid costumes)
🎯 For Objects
- Use a clean, simple background
- Photograph from straight-on or slight angle
- Make sure the object is in focus
- Include the complete object in frame
- Avoid shadows falling on the object
Advanced Tips
Experiment with Angles
Try the same subject from different angles. A 3/4 view often produces interesting results compared to straight-on shots.
Test Different Expressions
Different facial expressions lead to different interior design personalities. Try both smiling and neutral expressions.
Background Simplicity
While not required, simpler backgrounds help the AI focus on your subject and produce cleaner results.
Time of Day
For outdoor photos, the "golden hour" (early morning or late afternoon) provides beautiful, soft lighting.
