Upload room photos that give Oona useful context
Use practical photos so Oona understands walls, corners, light, furniture, not just objects.

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.
