Virtual furniture synthesis, a critical task in image composition, aims to seamlessly integrate reference objects into indoor scenes while preserving geometric coherence and visual realism. Despite its significant potential in home design applications, this field remains underexplored due to two major challenges: the absence of publicly available and ready-to-use benchmarks hinders reproducible research, and existing image composition methods fail to meet the stringent fidelity requirements for realistic furniture placement. To address these issues, we introduce RoomBench, a ready-to-use benchmark dataset for virtual furniture synthesis, comprising 7,298 training pairs and 895 testing samples across 27 furniture categories. Then, we propose RoomEditor, a simple yet effective image composition method that employs a parameter-sharing dual U-Net architecture, ensuring better feature consistency by sharing weights between dual branches. Technical analysis reveals that conventional dual-branch architectures generally suffer from inconsistent intermediate features due to independent processing of reference and background images. In contrast, RoomEditor enforces unified feature learning through shared parameters, thereby facilitating model optimization for robust geometric alignment and maintaining visual consistency. Experiments show our RoomEditor is superior to state-of-the-arts, while generalizing directly to diverse objects synthesis in unseen scenes without task-specific fine-tuning. Our dataset and code are available at https://anonymous.4open.science/status/RoomEditor-77B7 for review. They will be made publicly available upon publication.
