## Prompt

```text
Help me write prompts for an AI image tool to virtually stage photos of a property listing.

**Property:** [TYPE, price point, and location - e.g. "2-bed condo, mid-market, downtown"]
**Likely buyers:** [e.g. "young professionals", "downsizing retirees", "families"]
**Rooms to stage:** [LIST, with dimensions and window or door positions if known]
**Style:** [e.g. "warm modern", "Scandinavian", "coastal", "match furniture I own" - describe or upload photos of the inventory]
**Photo details:** [lighting, camera angle, empty or partly furnished]

For each room, give me:
1. A staging plan: the room's purpose for these buyers, a furniture list sized to the room, layout that keeps walkways clear, and 3-5 accent pieces.
2. An image prompt that adds furniture and decor only, keeping the room's walls, floors, windows, fixtures, ceiling, and views exactly as photographed, with matching lighting direction, shadows, and perspective.
3. A negative prompt or list of things to avoid: changed architecture, removed defects, enlarged rooms, fake views, extra windows, warped lines.
4. A quick check list to compare the output with the original photo before using it.

Also give me:
- Consistency tips so all rooms look like one home.
- A short disclosure line for listing captions, such as "Virtually staged", and a reminder to include the unstaged photo where required.

Virtual staging must not misrepresent the property: no hiding damage, changing finishes, or altering size or views. Check the disclosure rules of my MLS, brokerage, and local regulations.
