AI Furniture Lookbooks: Keeping Wood Grain and Upholstery Consistent

Quick answer: Save each product as a reference with close-ups of its wood and fabric, name the exact finish ("oiled white oak, straight grain", "boucle in ivory"), and reuse the same light and camera across every room scene. Generate the hero product first, check the material, then build the scene around it.

Why materials drift

Wood grain and fabric weave are small, repeating details. Between scenes the AI may swap oak for walnut or boucle for velvet.

Step by step

1. Photograph each product plus a close-up of wood and fabric.
2. Name finish and colour: species, grain, oil or lacquer; weave and colour.
3. Choose one lookbook light: "soft north window light".
4. Place the product first, then add the room around it.
5. Compare materials to the swatch at 100%.
6. Keep the same palette across every page.
