How do I show my sofa in a fabric from a swatch photo?

Add the sofa packshot and a photo of the swatch to a chat, say that everything about the sofa stays, and ask for only the upholstery to change to the fabric in the swatch, same texture, same colour. The recording gets the first colourway in 73 seconds.

Does it keep the texture, not just the colour?

Yes, that is the point of using a swatch photo instead of a colour name. In the recording the mustard render shows the boucle loops and the navy render shows corduroy ribs, running vertically because the prompt said so. A flat recolour cannot do that.

How do I do the whole range?

Keep the packshot attached, remove the swatch thumbnail, add the next swatch, send the same prompt with the fabric named. One render per fabric; a twelve-fabric range is twelve renders in the same chat, each about a minute.

What should the swatch photo look like?

Flat, filling most of the frame, in even light, with the weave visible. A phone photo of the mill’s sample card on a white desk is fine. Avoid strong shadows or a crumpled sample, they read as part of the fabric.

How much does it cost?

The recorded pair cost 300 credits: two Pro renders at 150 credits each, no retries. On the $35 Pro plan (19,250 credits a month) that is about $0.55. On Fast quality the same two renders cost 160 credits. The free start includes 5 renders with no card.

Can I change only the cushions, or only the legs?

Yes. Name the part in the prompt ("only the seat cushions in the swatch fabric, the frame stays grey"), or open the packshot in Studio and mark the region, as the furniture-in-room walkthrough does for the legs.

Your fabric. On your sofa.

Upload one packshot and the swatch photo from the mill and get the colourway in that fabric, loop texture and all. Swap the swatch for the next one and send the same prompt. Recorded in the app: 2 Pro renders, 300 credits, 3 minutes 12 seconds.

A grey boucle sofa packshot on white next to a photo of a mustard wool boucle fabric swatch — Your input

The same sofa, same angle and white background, upholstered in the mustard boucle from the swatch — Visualizee render

Message to Vizzy

Keep this sofa exactly as it is: shape, proportions, the three seat and back cushions, the oak plinth, the camera angle, the white background, the light and the floor shadow. Change only the upholstery: cover the whole sofa in the mustard wool boucle from the swatch, same loop texture, same colour. Nothing else changes.

Recorded walkthrough

Your fabric on your sofa

One packshot and two swatch photos uploaded into a chat, two Pro renders, every prompt shown, the credits and the clock on screen. Watch the recording or read the same steps below.

1Upload
Start a chat, add the sofa, add the swatch
The packshot is the piece, the swatch photo is the material. One file per Add media click; both sit above the prompt box as references.
2Main prompt
Everything stays; change only the upholstery to the swatch
The prompt lists what stays (shape, cushions, plinth, camera, background, light, shadow) and points the one change at the swatch: same loop texture, same colour. Pick 1:1 for a square packshot (left on auto, Vizzy proposes the switch and waits for an Approve). Pro quality, 150 credits.

Next colourway: drop the swatch, add the next one, same prompt
Remove the mustard swatch thumbnail, add the navy corduroy swatch, and send almost the same prompt with the fabric named. The sofa packshot stays attached, so the piece stays the same.
Message to Vizzy
Same sofa, same everything. This time the upholstery is the navy corduroy from the swatch, ribs running vertically on the cushions. Nothing else changes.

Why upholstery brands render the range this way

The fabric range without upholstering a sofa per colour

A sofa sold in twelve fabrics needs twelve listing images. Upholstering a sample in each fabric for the shoot is the honest way and the expensive one: twelve covers, twelve shoot slots, and the range changes next season. Recolouring one photo in Photoshop is cheaper but loses the texture, so the boucle looks like a flat tint and the corduroy has no ribs. A swatch photo carries both the colour and the weave.

Because the swatch is a reference and not a colour name, the render takes its texture from the mill’s sample, and because the packshot stays attached, the sofa keeps its shape, cushions, plinth and camera across the range, so the twelve images read as one product line. Brands use it for the fabric selector on the product page, the range sheet for retailers and the swatch-to-sofa preview in showrooms. The price comparison behind it is in the furniture product photography guide.
