I have taken pictures of my finished work sitting in place in the house.
I have looked a number of project photos that are displayed on a clean white background.
How do you do that?

Buy a roll of 'photo backdrop' paper - about 10' wide, about $60.
Make three reflector, bulb holders from Foam-core (from office supply store). One reflector hangs from the ceiling, two others sit on either side of the furniture.
Load with hundred watt bulbs and shoot until you have the "Custom White Balance" on your camera adjusted to yield a white background.
This is oversimplified but will give you and idea.
