№ 06 — Wall repainting · Furnished but off
Wall repainting — new colour, kept materials.
Repaint a wall in the listing photo to match the brief — the brushstrokes, shadows, and floor reflection update with it.

Wall repainting · two finishes
The problem
The seller painted the bedroom plum. The brokerage style is off-white. Wall repainting is the move that lets you photograph the room in the brokerage’s palette without asking the seller to repaint.
The standard
- Reflection on the floor and adjacent walls updates with the new paint colour.
- Shadow on the wall remains the same direction and softness — paint is a colour change, not a relighting.
- The studio refuses to paint over structural detail (mouldings, beams). Those stay their original colour.
The handoff
Two-up before / after pair if you want to show the option to the seller.
Companion tools
Pairs with furniture editing when the room needs both wall and a single piece updated.
When Vesta runs it
Used inside the Fixer-Upper Concept bundle when the listing needs paint as part of the renovation viz.
Field notes
Read the studio note on paint that photographs as paint — colour without recomposing the room.
