Can I see a sofa in my living room before buying?

Yes. Upload one photo of your living room and a picture of the sofa, and you get the sofa standing in your own room instead of a showroom. You do not need an app, a 3D model of the sofa, or a phone with a depth sensor.

The useful part is not the picture, it is the comparison. A sofa looks convincing in a showroom because the showroom is huge. In your room it sits next to your window, your radiator and your door, and those give you a scale you already understand.

Paste the product link and the width, depth and height come off the listing automatically. If the shop does not publish them, type the width yourself: one number is enough to get the proportions right.

Where it goes wrong: a sofa pushed into a corner or half behind a doorway is the hardest case, because part of it is hidden and the model has to guess what it cannot see. Shoot the wall straight on, stand back far enough that the floor is visible in front of the wall, and leave the spot empty if the old sofa is still there.

Treat the result as a size-aware preview, not a measurement. It answers "is this obviously too big for this wall" well. It does not answer "will it clear the doorway by 3 cm" — for that, a tape measure still wins.

Check it in your own room

Paste a product link, add one photo of the room, and see the item in your space.
