Follow-up edits: start each one from your chosen room image. The examples use the coastal image.

Fireplace
Edit the uploaded coastal room image. Replace only the fireplace: remove the dark wooden surround, its integrated mirrored overmantel, the green tile insert and brass fender. In the same position and width, create a striking contemporary cream marble fireplace with dramatic burgundy veining, a thick straight mantel, clean rectangular uprights and a matte-black fire opening. Keep its height within the existing chimney-breast panelling, below the decorative plasterwork. Keep the mantel vases and flowers on the new mantel. Preserve every other part of the image: the white sofas, pale blue cushions, armchair, woven coffee table, natural rug, shelves, TV, artwork, curtains, lamps, ceiling, doors, dark floorboards and all other accessories. Keep the exact camera angle, crop, daylight and shadows. Make the marble look physically real. Output one photorealistic image with no text.

Sofa
Edit the uploaded coastal room image. Replace only the large white sofa in the foreground with a bold burnt-orange velvet sofa with a curved sculptural silhouette, thick rounded arms and a low upholstered back. Keep it in exactly the same position, orientation and approximate footprint. Keep the existing pale blue and striped cushions on the new sofa. Preserve every other part of the image: the smaller white loveseat against the back wall, white armchair, original dark wooden fireplace and green tiles, woven coffee table, natural rug, shelves, TV, artwork, curtains, lamps, ceiling, doors, dark floorboards and all other accessories. Keep the exact camera angle, crop, daylight and shadows. Show realistic velvet texture and believable furniture scale. Output one photorealistic image with no text.

Rug
Edit the uploaded coastal room image. Replace only the natural beige rug with a vivid contemporary rug featuring a large hot-pink and black checkerboard pattern with an ivory border. Keep the rug in exactly the same position, shape and size, running beneath the woven coffee table and partially beneath the foreground sofa. Preserve the original furniture overlaps and contact shadows. Preserve every other part of the image: all white seating and pale blue cushions, the original dark wooden fireplace and green tiles, woven coffee table, shelves, TV, artwork, curtains, lamps, ceiling, doors, dark floorboards and all other accessories.
