Sofa photos that show the fabric and the size, without a studio
Sofas are among the hardest pieces of furniture to photograph. They are heavy, they need a large set, and the upholstery has to look soft without looking wrinkled. Lofvy starts from a simple photo of the sofa against a plain wall and turns it into clean product shots and living-room scenes, so every model in your range can be online without booking a studio.
Why sofas are hard to photograph
A three-seater does not fit in a small studio, and moving it risks damage to the fabric and the legs. Showroom photos have other problems: neighbouring pieces in the frame, mixed light and reflections from the floor. The result is often a web shop where the sofas look smaller, flatter and greyer than they are.
Fabric, cushions and seams stay true
What makes a customer choose a sofa is the upholstery: the weave of a bouclé, the sheen of a velvet, the way the cushions are filled. Lofvy uses your photo as the reference and keeps the fabric texture, the number and shape of the cushions, the seams and the legs, then rebuilds the light so the texture reads clearly on screen.

- Seat and back cushions keep their shape and number
- Legs, arms and proportions unchanged
Show the scale in a furnished living room
Buyers want to know whether a sofa will fit their room. A living-room scene with a coffee table, a rug and a window gives an immediate sense of size that a photo on white cannot. With Lofvy you place the same sofa in a bright living room, a hotel lobby or a restaurant, depending on who you sell to.
One model, every colour
Most sofas are sold in many fabric colours. Instead of having a piece upholstered in each one, you create the other colours from the same photo and keep the frame, the cushions and the shadow identical. That way the colour picker on your product page shows a real image for every option.
How it works
Photograph the sofa against a plain wall
Front or three-quarter view, the whole sofa in frame, nothing else around it, as much even light as possible.
Choose backdrop or living room
A studio backdrop for the product page, a room for campaigns and social media.
Add the colours you sell
Create the other fabric colours from the same photo and publish them together.
Frequently asked questions
Can I photograph the sofa in my showroom?
Yes, if you clear the pieces around it and shoot against a plain wall. The whole sofa must be visible and sharp, with nothing else in the frame.
Does it work for corner and modular sofas?
In most cases, yes, as long as the photo shows the complete piece. For large corner sofas, a three-quarter view shows the shape best.
Will the cushions look different?
Lofvy keeps the cushions, seams and fabric from your photo as the reference. Check each result before publishing, as with any retouched image.
Can I show the sofa in several colours?
Yes. Each colour variant is a new image made from the same photo and costs 10 credits.
