The Reveal: see your room renovated in ten seconds.
The Reveal is a free tool from RealDream, a renovation contractor in North Vancouver, BC. Take a photo of your kitchen, bathroom, basement or any room in your home and pick the look you want. In about ten seconds you will see that same room renovated, with your walls, windows and layout kept exactly where they are.
Add a photo of your room
Stand in the doorway and get as much of the room in frame as you can. Turn the lights on.
Take one now or pick from your library. JPEG, PNG or WebP.
Your first design is free, and you do not need to give us your details to see it.
How it works
How does it work?

The styles
Which styles can I choose from?
Each one changes the finishes only. Your walls, windows and room layout stay exactly where they are.
West Coast modern
Warm wood, black accents, lots of light
Warm minimal
Clean lines, soft neutrals, no clutter
Classic transitional
Shaker doors, timeless, resale-friendly
Coastal light
Pale, airy, North Shore feel

Every example above is the same kitchen, put through this tool five times. Only the finishes change: the window, the layout and the cabinet boxes stay where they are. The pictures are made by AI.

How the tool works, what happens to your photo, and how honest the picture is.
What is The Reveal?
The Reveal is a free renovation preview tool from RealDream, a renovation contractor based in North Vancouver, BC. You upload a photo of your own kitchen, bathroom, basement or any other room, choose one of five design styles, and about ten seconds later you get a realistic picture of that same room renovated. Your walls, windows, doorways and room layout stay exactly where they are, so you are looking at your own room finished, not a showroom or a stock photo. If you like the result you can send it to RealDream and get an exact design option and a full price for the work, at no charge.
How can I see what my kitchen would look like renovated before I hire anyone?
Take a wide photo of your kitchen from the doorway with the lights on, then upload it to The Reveal on the RealDream website. Pick a style and the tool returns a realistic picture of your own kitchen with new cabinets, counters, backsplash, flooring and lighting, while keeping the room's existing shape and window positions. It is free and takes about ten seconds, so you can compare several looks before you talk to a contractor or spend money on design work.
Does The Reveal cost anything?
No. Your first design is free and you do not need to give us your name or email to see it. If you want to save that image or try more looks at the same room, we ask for your name, email and phone number, and we send you the design along with a real price for the work. There is also a fair-use limit of about 8 designs an hour so the tool stays available for everyone.
Is the picture what my renovation will actually look like?
No. The picture is made by AI and shows one possible design direction. It is a starting point for a conversation, not a construction drawing. The materials, measurements and what is actually possible in your home get confirmed when we visit the site.
Do you keep my photo?
Only if you ask us for a price. If you just use the tool and leave, your photo is not saved on our website. When you request a quote, your photo and the design are emailed to our team so we can price the real room.
How much does a renovation actually cost in North Vancouver?
It depends on the room, the size and the finishes you pick. Our cost calculators give you a range in a couple of minutes, and the quote we send after you use The Reveal gives you a real number for your own room.
Which rooms does it work with?
It works with kitchen, bathroom, basement, living room, bedroom, and any other room in your home. It works best on a wide shot of a room in good light.
