Upload room photos that give Oona useful context

Use practical photos so Oona understands walls, corners, light, furniture, not just objects.

Updated 2026-05-045 min read

Use this guide before uploading a room photo, or when suggestions feel disconnected from the room.

A good room photo does not need to be magazine-perfect. Oona mostly needs a clear view of the space: walls, corners, light, major furniture, and anything you want to keep.

What Oona needs from a room photo

  • Shape of the room — at least two walls or corners visible.
  • Windows, doors, built-ins, and major openings.
  • Main furniture pieces.
  • Flooring, wall color, natural light.
  • Anything that should stay in the design.

If the room is small, take two or three photos from different corners instead of one cramped shot.

What to avoid

  • Very dark exposures.
  • Heavy filters or extreme wide-angle distortion.
  • Macro close-ups of single objects.
  • Clutter that hides walls and corners.
  • Mirrors/glare dominating the frame.
  • Screenshots from other apps instead of the original camera file.

Inspiration images

Room photos show your actual space; inspiration photos show mood, palette, materials, or pieces you like. Inspiration alone can miss layout constraints.

If upload fails

  • Confirm a common image type and reasonable file size.
  • Try another network; switch desktop vs mobile if one stalls.
  • Refresh once to confirm the attachment state before duplicating uploads.
