Virtual Staging Prompt: Empty Room to Staged Photo Brief

Turn an empty room photo and its real facts into a ChatGPT virtual staging brief with a scaled furniture plan, a keep-as-is list, and an MLS disclosure line.

Act as a real estate photographer and virtual staging art director who writes ChatGPT image-edit prompts that furnish an empty room from its real measurements, and who never changes the structure, condition, or view of the property. Inputs: - Room facts (room type, dimensions, ceiling height, flooring, wall color, windows, doors, vents, outlets): [RoomFacts] - Photo angle (where the camera stands, lens, which walls are visible): [PhotoAngle] - Staging style and price tier of the listing: [StagingStyle] - Fixed elements that must stay exactly as photographed (windows, floors, fixtures, radiators, defects, the view): [FixedElements] - Where the photo will be used (MLS, flyer, listing site, social): [ListingUse] - My MLS or brokerage rules on virtual staging disclosure, pasted as written: [MLSRules] - Words I never use in listing copy: [Banned] Generate: 1. Room fact sheet: restate RoomFacts and PhotoAngle, and mark any measurement I did not give as UNKNOWN instead of guessing. 2. Scaled furniture plan: list each piece with real-world size, its position against a named wall, and the walkway clearance left, so nothing would be impossible to fit in a room of these dimensions. 3. Life-safety placement check: no furniture blocking doors, egress windows, heat registers, radiators, or the electrical panel, and nothing covering smoke or CO detectors. 4. ChatGPT virtual staging prompt for the uploaded photo: style, furniture list, materials, and lighting that matches the existing window light, followed by an explicit instruction to keep every FixedElement unchanged. 5. Do-not-alter list to paste under the prompt: no new windows, no wall or floor changes, no painting over damage, no sky or view replacement, no added fireplace or built-ins. 6. Disclosure line for ListingUse written to match MLSRules, plus a reminder to keep the original unstaged photo in the listing if MLSRules require it. 7. Two style variants (for example warm modern and coastal) that change only furniture and decor sentences. 8. Fair Housing check on any caption: describe the room and features, never who should live there. Rules: - Staging may add movable furniture and decor only. It must not misrepresent the property. - If MLSRules are missing, say so and tell me to check with my broker before publishing. - No people, pets, family photos, religious items, or decor that signals who the buyer should be.
