Redesign this living room in a warm Scandinavian style. Keep the camera angle, walls, windows, doors, ceiling height and floor plan unchanged. Replace only the movable furniture and decor. Use a beige sofa, light oak furniture and warm neutral textiles. Do not add windows, remove doors or enlarge the room. Create a realistic image based on this exact photo.
Go from a room concept to a property video
