Can we show a homeowner more than one screen size to help them choose?

Yes. Generate a preview at 77-inch, 85-inch, and 98-inch, or against a 120-inch projector screen, all in the same room photo. Homeowners who are stuck between "go big" and "don't overdo it" usually decide the moment they see the actual wall filled at each size.

Does this handle projector installs, or only flat-panel TVs?

Both. For projector setups, the preview renders the image at the correct throw distance and screen size against the room's real light sources, so you and the client can judge together whether an ambient-light-rejecting screen is worth adding to the proposal.

Can it preview different media wall finishes against the client's existing flooring and trim?

Yes. Walnut veneer, painted shaker, matte black slab, or open floating shelving — generate each against the room as photographed, including the client's actual flooring, wall color, and trim, so the finish decision isn't made from a cabinet sample under showroom lighting.

Does it work for open-concept rooms where the media wall is visible from the kitchen or living area?

Yes. The preview keeps the adjoining sightlines in frame, so the client can judge how the media wall reads from the kitchen island or the entryway, not just head-on — which matters more in an open-concept media room than in a closed-door theater.

How is this different from the SketchUp or 3D CAD renders we already produce?

CAD renders take hours of modeling and still read as generic renderings, not the client's actual room. Makeover generates a photorealistic preview from a single phone photo in seconds — no modeling software, no rendering queue. Use it live in the first site visit instead of a follow-up presentation.

Can it show a media room that doubles as a guest room or playroom, with a murphy bed or hidden storage?

Yes. Multi-use media rooms are common in bonus-room and basement builds. Photograph the room with the murphy bed down or the storage open, and the preview shows the finished media wall working alongside those features rather than a theater-only room that ignores them.

Where are our clients' home photos stored, and for how long?

That's your call, not ours — it's your software. We build the storage and retention policy around what your business needs, whether that's deleting images once a proposal is signed or keeping a library for warranty and service reference, and make sure it meets CCPA, other state privacy laws, or any other regulation that applies. No training on your data, ever.

How much does this cost?

There's no off-the-shelf plan, so there's no published price list. Share your details and we'll discuss project scope and pricing on a free consultation call — see /pricing for details.

Show homeowners their finished media wall before you order a single cabinet

Photograph the family room, bonus room, or basement as it sits today. Makeover generates a photorealistic preview of the media wall — screen size, cabinetry finish, in-ceiling speakers, and lighting — in the client's own room, not a manufacturer's showroom shot.

What is a media room preview preview?

A media room preview tool uses AI to generate a photorealistic image of a family room, bonus room, or basement after a media wall installation — television or projector, built-in cabinetry, in-ceiling speakers, and accent lighting — rendered directly into a photo of the client's own space. AV integrators and custom electronics installers capture one photo during the site visit, and the tool produces a side-by-side comparison at true scale, in the room's real light and layout. It replaces the CAD render or mood board that takes days to turn around with something the client can react to before the visit ends.

Why it matters

A media room build — TV or projector, built-in cabinetry, surround sound, lighting control, seating — typically runs $15,000 to $75,000-plus depending on scope. Unlike a dedicated home cinema, this room still has to function as everyday living space, so the sale usually stalls on one question: will a 98-inch screen and a media wall overwhelm the room their family actually uses? Integrators who can answer that in the first site visit close the design and the equipment order together. Integrators who send a proposal and a CAD render a week later are competing with the homeowner's spouse, their contractor's second opinion, and their own cold feet.

Who uses this

CEDIA-certified custom integrators and AV installers building the room's screen, audio, and lighting package. Low-voltage contractors quoting media rooms as part of a broader smart-home or new-construction wiring job. Interior designers coordinating the media wall's cabinetry and finish with a builder on a bonus-room or basement buildout. Custom cabinetry and furniture dealers selling built-in media consoles alongside the AV package.

Heard this from a homeowner?

"Won't an 85-inch TV make our family room feel like a sports bar?" — they're worried the screen will dominate a space that still needs to host movie night and homework at the kitchen table.

The couple can't agree on the media wall style — she wants floating walnut shelving, he wants painted built-ins with a fireplace — and a cabinetry finish sample doesn't settle it.

They can't decide between a large-format TV and a projector because a spec sheet doesn't show how either one actually looks against their room's windows and afternoon light.

How media room preview previews work

Three steps. Under 10 seconds. No design skills needed.

Photograph the room as-is

One phone photo of the family room, bonus room, or basement during the site visit. Existing furniture, windows, and lighting stay in frame — no need to clear the room first.

AI generates the media wall preview

The model renders the screen or projector, cabinetry finish, in-ceiling speakers, and accent lighting at true scale against the room's actual walls, windows, and flooring.

Present it before you leave the site visit

The client sees their own room, finished, on your tablet. Close the design and the equipment order in one appointment instead of a follow-up proposal meeting.
