Barker and Stonehouse
Barker and Stonehouse cut studio and editing work from weeks to 30 seconds an image — fabric swaps and lifestyle scenes included — and saved more than £50,000.
The Challenge
Barker and Stonehouse's ecommerce team couldn't create high-quality imagery quickly enough. As the range grew and the brand spread across more channels, photography and editing stayed costly and took weeks, and general-purpose AI tools such as Gemini were too slow to produce images at the scale and quality required. New ranges were the hardest part: suppliers often sent a single photograph on a white background, even when a product came in multiple fabrics, finishes and sizes, and rarely provided lifestyle imagery that met the brand's standards.
The Solution
The work started with a simple goal: cut the time spent on product photography and editing tasks like removing marks from floors or unwanted props. Using AI Studio and tailored prompts, the team set a consistent Barker and Stonehouse gray background across product imagery, then moved on to seasonal lifestyle scenes, including Christmas. Once early tests had built confidence, Furniture Connect developed batch tools that process hundreds of images in a single click, plus workflows that chain several image-editing tools together — from close-up product shots to lifestyle images in every fabric and finish option.

I have tried a few alternative AI tools and can highly recommend Furniture Connect. The difference with them is that although the tool is AI, it's backed by a great team of people who are there to answer any questions, help with prompts, and listen to our ideas about how it can help us work more efficiently.
