Flooring concepts: plank direction, thresholds and what furniture hides

Floors need a lower, longer view than most rooms. Shoot from a doorway with the camera a little below chest height, aimed so the floor fills the bottom half of the frame and runs into the next room if the install continues there. Roll up rugs and move small furniture out of the way, since the AI has to guess what is under a rug and often invents a pattern.

Plank direction is the first thing to check. If the quote runs planks parallel to the longest wall, the concept should too, and the lines should converge toward the same vanishing point as the walls. Then look at the edges: baseboards, door casings, stair nosings and the transition strip at the kitchen tile. Generated floors sometimes flow under a door frame or cover the first stair tread as if it were flat.

When the client is choosing between materials, keep the same before photo and change only the floor in each version so the comparison is fair. A useful companion is the floor-only renovation preview for homeowners deciding at home, and clearing boxes and clutter from the room first gives the floor more visible area to work with.
