Make room reveals from your design portfolio

Sizzledraft turns an interior designer’s website into a 1080x1920 TikTok video ad using real screenshots, project imagery and brand styling from the site. It structures the ad around a before-and-after room reveal, renders it at 30fps and exports an H.264 video with audio normalised to -14 LUFS.

Opening lines that work here

  • This dark spare room became a calm home office.

    It names the original problem and gives viewers a clear reason to wait for the completed room.

  • Wait until you see what replaced this dated kitchen.

    It creates curiosity around a familiar renovation problem while keeping the finished design hidden for the reveal.

  • From empty shell to a living room built for hosting.

    It connects the visual transformation to how the client wanted to use the room.

How do I turn an interior design portfolio into a TikTok ad?

Start with one room transformation that has a clear visual contrast, such as a dated kitchen becoming a warm open-plan space. Sizzledraft drives a browser through the project page, captures the real room photography and uses the site’s colours, type and other brand tokens to author the scene. The video can open on the before image, introduce the design problem, then reveal the finished room through full-frame views and close details. It is rendered vertically at 1080x1920 and 30fps, then exported as H.264. The first video is cut from the site alone, so the project page should identify the room, show both stages and explain the design choices. Later videos can accept a prompt for a different angle or emphasis.

What makes a before-and-after room reveal work on TikTok?

A strong room reveal makes the starting condition understandable in the first three seconds. Show the cramped layout, dated finish or empty shell before introducing the completed interior. Keep the before image long enough to read, but let the final room occupy most of the ad. Use matching viewpoints when available because viewers can compare the layout, light and material changes immediately. Detail shots should support the transformation, not interrupt it. For example, follow a full kitchen reveal with the new stone worktop, concealed storage and pendant lighting. The copy should name the practical outcome, such as better circulation or space for dining, instead of relying on vague claims. End with the designer’s name and a clear invitation to view the full project or enquire about a similar room.

Can I use a trending TikTok sound with the room reveal?

Yes, but the trending sound should be attached inside TikTok rather than baked into the exported video. Sizzledraft hands over the sound as a link so you can add it natively when publishing. That matters because uploading a file with the track already mixed in does not count as using that sound on the platform. The rendered ad can still include scored audio, normalised to -14 LUFS, for review or for versions posted elsewhere. When editing a before-and-after reveal, choose a sound whose change or beat supports the moment the finished room appears. Check that the reveal lands cleanly after the opening view of the original space. If you attach a trending sound, review the native mix before posting so narration, design labels and the track remain balanced.

What the browser actually gets

The browser can capture visible portfolio images, project titles, service copy, logos, colours and typography from an interior design website. It may struggle when before-and-after images sit inside sliders, galleries require interaction, photos load only after scrolling or the original room is not published on the page.

The common mistake

A common mistake is opening with several polished final-room shots and never showing what changed. Start with the original space, name its specific design problem, then reveal the finished room from a comparable viewpoint before moving into material and joinery details.

  • Portfolio pages often separate the before and after photos, making the transformation hard to show quickly.
  • Wide room photography can lose important furniture, lighting and joinery details when cropped for a vertical TikTok frame.
  • A polished room reveal needs enough build-up to create curiosity without delaying the finished interior past the viewer’s attention.

Questions

What should be on my project page before I make the ad?
Include a clear project title, the room type, strong before and after photographs, and a short explanation of the client’s brief. If possible, publish images from similar viewpoints. Add finished detail shots for materials, storage, lighting and joinery, but keep the main transformation easy to identify.
Will horizontal interior photographs fit a vertical TikTok video?
They can, but the crop needs care. Wide room photographs may lose furniture, windows or architectural features at 1080x1920. Images with space around the main subject adapt more easily. A mix of wide room views and closer portrait details gives the vertical edit more useful framing options.
Can I request a different room reveal after the first video?
Yes. The first video is cut from the website alone, using the project content and brand tokens available there. Later videos accept a prompt, so you can ask to focus on a kitchen layout, a bespoke storage detail or the contrast between the original and completed room.
How much does it cost to make interior design ads?
You can buy two videos for $19 or choose eight videos for $39 per month. A designer could use the set for separate room transformations, such as a kitchen, living room, bedroom and home office, while keeping each ad focused on one clear before-and-after story.
