Take a picture of the place or furniture that you want to redesign. You can also draw a decoration draft and have it preprocessed via the ambiente® photo service.
We can prepare walls, floor, furniture and window decorations for a subsequent redesign.

TIPS:

• If you use a digital camera, try to bring the desired object into focus with a medium zoom level (small zoom levels tend to increase the so-called fisheye effect, the maximum zoom level can lead to fuzziness).
• Make sure that the room lighting is appropriate (if needed, use flash), so that your picture will represent the brightness and the colours correctly.
• Use the image format JPEG with a small compression rate (high quality - HQ or SHQ). You should find a balance between good image quality and small file sizes.
• The image size should not be picked larger than 1500 x 1500 pixels (larger images will be scaled down during image processing anyway)
• Room parts or furniture that are not necessarily relevant can be left out of the picture or can be cut out after the picture has been taken. Examples: a wall of which only a small part can be seen, decorative cushions or furniture that are not completely in the picture, etc... If you keep that in mind you can control the processing costs. However, the personal furnishing character and the recognition value for the customer's place should be maintained.
