Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Furniture Fabric Swap tool:
- Provide the furniture photo and the proposed paint color with its brand reference.
- Run `swap` via furniture-fabric-swap to generate the preview.
- Ask Copilot to add the preview and paint specification to the room's color schedule.
- Output the updated color schedule for client review.
Example Prompt
Try this with Copilot using the Furniture Fabric Swap tool
Use furniture-fabric-swap to preview the hallway console table in Farrow & Ball Hague Blue gloss. Add the preview and the paint specification to the hallway color schedule, noting the finish type and brand code.
Tips
- Use brand codes in the color schedule so there is no ambiguity when ordering.
- Note the finish type — gloss, eggshell, dead flat — alongside the color code since the same hue reads very differently in different sheens.
- A preview linked to a color schedule item makes client color approvals faster and more confident.
