02 / A PRACTICAL WORKFLOWSTART WITH YOUR PHOTO
01Separate the cover offer from the filled display sample
Record the actual cover size, fabric, design version and whether an insert is supplied. Photograph the empty cover as a real product record, with the opening visible in a separate detail. Then make a filled display photograph using the stated sample insert. Do not let a sofa scene silently become the only explanation of what ships.
IKEA’s IDALINNEA example separately describes its hidden zipper, pattern on both sides and an inner cushion sold separately. Use the distinction for your offer without borrowing that product’s specifications. Keep the real front and back together, especially when the reverse is plain or uses another pattern. A filled sample can change the apparent dimensions and pattern placement.
02Show flat dimensions and construction before the sofa
Take a nearly square overhead photograph of the empty cover with its full outline in view. Measure the real cover using a clear stated basis rather than measuring a stretched filled sample. Add a close zipper and seam view, then turn the real cover over. Do not digitally duplicate the front to invent a matching reverse.
For the filled sample, choose an insert that accurately explains the presentation and identify it as excluded when not supplied. Keep edge piping, corners, tassels and visible weave readable under gentle side light. A heavily overfilled sample can imply a different shape, and smoothing natural folds can make the cover look stiffer than the actual fabric.
03Explore a room scene from the real filled sample
Upload one rights-cleared photograph of the actual filled cover for a Fayvoro sofa-display scene. Keep the cover unobstructed and request a quiet setting without extra cushions. The attempt does not calculate insert fit, reconstruct the reverse or predict exact fabric drape.
Review pattern placement, zipper location if visible, trim, shape and count. Reject a candidate that changes the back or adds an included insert by implication. Retain the empty-cover and real construction photographs in the sales gallery, with an explicit cover-only statement where applicable. The room concept should make the display easier to imagine without replacing the offer record.
