Use descriptions like "Grey interior" to find images that help compliment your website colours. Other keywords to use, can include things like your city (if it's broad enough to be a recognizable area), room types i.e "kitchen", "living room", or property type "condo", "townhouse". etc.

- In addition to editing images in the media section, you may also need to modify images in other areas of your theme. This includes the "Panel" section of the block, where the image is positioned behind each block, or in the header/banner area of your theme. Below are the options indicating where these items can be found.
- Note: The images for the banner section may vary depending on the theme, but our labels are intuitive enough for you to locate them, whether it's labeled as "Background" or "Images".
Example of banner block located on theme Drive:
