The Highest-ROI Pre-Sale Change
Agents Recommend — a Fresh Paint Job
Repainting is consistently one of the most cost-effective pre-sale improvements a vendor can make. But choosing the wrong colour — one that clashes with the flooring, dates the kitchen, or reads poorly under the property's lighting — costs money and time to fix. Homai's surface recolouring tool lets agents and vendors test colour options against the actual property before any paint is bought or applied, ensuring the final choice is the right one.
Photorealistic Colour Previews —
Not Flat Fills
The technical challenge with surface recolouring is maintaining the original photo's lighting conditions after the colour change. A wall doesn't have a single flat colour in a photo — it has shadows, highlights, reflections, and gradients based on how light hits it. Homai's AI recolouring understands this: it applies colour changes while preserving the original light map of the surface, producing a result that looks like the wall was actually painted — not like a flat colour was painted over the photo.

Interior Walls and Cabinetry
in Any Colour
The most common use case: changing a lounge room's wall colour from a dated cream to a contemporary warm greige, or switching kitchen cabinets from oak veneer to matte navy. The AI reads the surface's original shading and applies the new colour around the existing light map — so the result shows the colour exactly as it would appear in that room, in that light, in that photo.

Exterior Render and Cladding
Transformed Before Painting
Repainting an exterior is a major expense — and a wrong colour choice on the facade is visible from the street for years. Before any painter is booked, use surface recolouring to test different facade colours against the actual property photo. See how Dulux Vivid White compares to a warm grey render, or how a Hamptons-style charcoal trim reads against the existing brickwork, before committing.

- Covers render, painted brick, weatherboard cladding, and Colorbond roofing
- Share results with the vendor to align on colour choice before engaging a painter
