Turn vacant spaces into inviting, furnished interiors instantly. With Arcadium 3D, you can stage homes and rentals virtually, creating photorealistic rooms that help buyers and tenants see the full potential of every property.
Virtual staging uses AI to convert vacant rooms into appealing, furnished spaces. In fact, modern homebuyers start their search online, making listing photos crucial. One industry report notes “nearly every homebuyer begins their search on a screen, and listings with thoughtfully staged photos often stand out from the scroll”.
Arcadium 3D offers a browser-based design platform that lets even non-experts create these staged interiors quickly. By drawing a basic floor plan and applying AI rendering, anyone can turn an empty space into a photo-ready interior in minutes.
Presenting a home in the best light can speed up sales. Listings with quality photos grab attention: one survey found 89% of listing agents and 77% of buyers say listing images are crucial to their clients. Physical staging still has value, but it’s time-consuming and costly.
For example, hiring a stager plus photographer can take days and cost thousands of dollars. Traditional virtual staging services also take 24–48 hours and often charge $10–$50 per image. By contrast, AI-driven staging is nearly instant and inexpensive. As one report explains, generative AI can stage a room photo in “30 seconds for as low as $0.03 per photo”.
In practice this means an agent or designer can experiment freely: adding furniture, removing clutter, changing wall colors, even altering lighting with a few clicks. Industry data suggests AI-staged listings get far more engagement – for example, agents report higher traffic and inquiries on sites like Zillow and realtor when using natural-looking staged images. In short, virtual staging is a powerful marketing tool: it improves first impressions online and can cut days off the selling process.
Arcadium 3D is an online 3D design tool built for speed and simplicity. It runs entirely in a web browser – no downloads, no installation – so you can start planning immediately. The interface is intuitive, even fun: Arcadium “cuts the complexity” of traditional CAD software and makes designing as “fun as playing Minecraft”.
Templates and wizards guide beginners through the basics, while advanced controls serve professionals. As the Arcadium team notes, “you don’t need 3D-modeling experience… it’s free” to use.
Under the hood, Arcadium combines several features that speed up staging. It provides a large library of 3D furniture, fixtures and objects that “fit standard sizes and design patterns”. Every object is parametric (for example, windows and stairs auto-adjust to your room). You can drag, drop and snap these models into place with precise measurements.
Arcadium also handles walls, doors, and textures: you simply draw the floor plan to scale (drawing walls by their real-world lengths) and the software maps it accurately. Because the entire platform is online, you can instantly share a project via a URL so clients or teammates can view and comment on the design in real time. In effect, Arcadium provides a full design studio in your browser, accessible to both pros and DIYers.
The first step in virtual staging is modeling the empty room itself. In Arcadium, this means drawing the footprint of the space. You click to place walls, set window and door openings, and specify heights. The software shows dimensions as you work, helping ensure accuracy. For example, if a wall is 12 feet long, you draw it as 12 feet in the tool; the result is a precise floor plan that matches reality. This attention to dimension prevents design errors later (such as putting a sofa where it won’t fit).
Once the shell is built, you start to fill it. Arcadium’s model library lets you add basic furniture pieces by dragging them into the room. You can choose from chairs, sofas, tables, beds, cabinets, light fixtures and more – all created to scale for Arcadium. Simply snap each object into place and use built-in handles or parameters to rotate, resize or fine-tune it. For instance, you might place a couch against one wall and then use a dimension tool to ensure 3 feet of clearance around it. The parametric components (like windows or shelves) auto-adjust as you modify the space, saving tedious manual editing.
Because you’re working in 3D, you can switch views at any time. Arcadium offers multiple camera angles: a top-down floor plan, a side elevation, or even a first-person walk-through. These views help you double-check the layout. For example, a virtual walkthrough lets you see if the room feels spacious enough or if a rug overlaps furniture incorrectly.
You can also experiment with color and material finishes at this stage – try different paint colors or flooring textures on the surfaces. All changes update immediately. This risk-free trial-and-error process means you can iterate until the layout feels just right, without moving any actual furniture.
Once the basic 3D room is in place, Arcadium’s built-in AI brings it to life. The ai generated interior design tool (also known as Arcadium’s AI Interior Design feature) converts your SketchUp-style model into a rich, detailed image. In Arcadium’s words, it can “turn your 3D Arcadium sketch into a high-fidelity image”.
Essentially, you choose a camera angle in the room, select a style or reference image, and let the AI generate a photorealistic rendering. The result is a virtual photograph of the space as if it were staged and photographed by a pro.
Using Arcadium’s AI is straightforward. The workflow follows these general steps:
Draw the Layout: Use Arcadium’s 3D design tool to block out the room. Add walls, doors, windows and a few placeholder objects (like a sofa or table) to set the scene.
Open AI Generator: Click the AI button in Arcadium’s toolbar. The tool will capture the current camera view of your room as the input image.
Set Viewpoint: Adjust the virtual camera so it mimics a human perspective (not a top-down view). A good angle helps the AI produce realistic depth.
Choose Style or Reference: Select one of Arcadium’s predefined design styles (like Modern, Scandinavian, or Rustic), or upload a photo of a decorated room you like. The AI uses this as inspiration for furniture style, colors and lighting.
Generate Image: Submit the request. In about a minute, the AI returns a fully staged image: the empty room now has furniture, rugs, lamps and decor. Textures, shadows and lighting are all photorealistic.
Refine if Needed: If something looks off, you can refine. Arcadium lets you add a specific furniture image or mark a region to redo. For example, you could specify “replace the gray sofa with a blue one” or highlight the fireplace to improve its detail. The AI will update the image accordingly.
This process requires no complex software skills. As Arcadium notes, all these tools run in the browser. You don’t need 3D modeling experience or training – the guided steps handle most of the work. In practice, a user simply iterates on the AI styles until the room looks just right.
Using Arcadium for virtual staging offers many advantages. Speed and Cost: Instead of waiting days, you get images in minutes. AI staging is almost instantaneous and low-cost – one study found it can be as cheap as $0.03 per image. (In real terms, using Arcadium incurs no per-photo fee beyond the software cost, since it’s free to start.)
This vastly undercuts traditional staging costs: physical staging often costs thousands, and conventional virtual staging services can charge $50 or more per photo. Agents or designers save both time and money.
Flexibility and Customization: Because it’s digital, you can try unlimited options. With a click, Arcadium can switch furniture styles or layouts. The AI even lets you “remove all furniture or clutter” from the scene or adjust walls and floors.
If you need to target a specific buyer demographic, you can stage one version with kid-friendly decor and another with a formal look. All of this happens on one platform, on-demand.
Professional Quality: Though fast, the results can look impressively natural. Arcadium’s AI engine produces fully illuminated rooms with realistic shadows and textures. Walkthroughs and stills feel like genuine photos of furnished rooms.
In practice, staged rooms designed this way often generate more interest: one survey reported increased engagement on popular real estate websites when high-quality staged images were used. In other words, Arcadium’s staging can help a listing feel more welcoming and upscale, without the hassle of renting furniture or swapping rooms in real life.
Collaborative and Interactive: Because Arcadium runs online, collaborating is easy. You can send a link to clients or agents so they can view the 3D plan or the staged images. They can even propose edits (for example, by suggesting different furniture from Arcadium’s library).
This interactivity accelerates feedback. Rather than back-and-forth emails or multiple photo shoots, everyone sees the design clearly. The end result is a shared vision of the staged home. In my own experience as a 3D interior designer, I’ve seen Arcadium transform how we present spaces. Previously, turning an empty bedroom into a showpiece could mean hiring a photographer and waiting days for touchups.
Now, we draft a layout in Arcadium and instantly produce a polished living room image to show a client. The ability to iterate live (try a new color or piece of furniture) means we waste no time. Overall, the room goes from vacant to “sell-ready” in a fraction of the effort.
Anyone can try this approach. Arcadium 3D’s entry barrier is very low: visit the site, and you can begin a project immediately, no credit card needed. The site offers tutorials and tips for new users, but the interface itself is self-explanatory. In practice, a good workflow is:
Start Simple: Draw a basic floor plan first. Don’t worry about adding every detail at once.
Build Up: Place a few pieces of furniture to block out the main zones (e.g. bed, sofa, table).
Switch to Camera View: Choose an interesting angle, as if you were taking a photo in that room.
Run the AI: Click into Arcadium’s AI Interior Design tool, pick a style (or provide an inspiration photo), and generate the image.
Refine: If the result isn’t perfect, use Arcadium’s editing features. You can overlay a real furniture image or highlight areas for the AI to adjust.
Each step is fast thanks to Arcadium’s parametric editing. The software even includes smart guides and measurement tools to avoid mistakes when moving objects. New users find it easy to rearrange furniture or try different colors, since changes happen live. Moreover, because Arcadium is free to start, anyone (agents, designers or homeowners) can experiment without risk.
With a little practice, virtually staging a room with Arcadium becomes routine. The time savings are dramatic: what once might have taken a design team a whole day can now be done in under an hour. The AI does the heavy lifting of furnishing, while Arcadium’s precise 3D tools ensure the layout stays accurate.
By combining user-friendly 3D modeling and AI rendering, Arcadium 3D puts virtual staging within anyone’s reach. An empty room no longer needs to sit unsold – with Arcadium, it can be dressed up for the market in minutes. The result is a sell-ready interior, achieved faster and more affordably than ever before
