your home.

No design knowledge needed. Choose what feels right — and if nothing quite fits, there is always space to say so in your own words.

01Light & Atmosphere
When you picture your ideal living room, what does the light feel like?
Not the time of day — the mood. The quality of the room when it is at its best.
Or describe it in your own words
02How the Room Feels
Which of these feels more like the home you want to come back to?
Both are calm and considered. It comes down to what feels most like you.
Or describe it in your own words
03Comfort & Texture
How does your ideal room feel when you walk in?
Think about what is underfoot, what you would sit on, what surrounds you.
Or describe it in your own words
04How You Live
On a typical evening at home, what does the space need to do?
Think about your actual routine, not an idealized version of it.
Or describe it in your own words
05Seating
When you sit down at the end of the day, what do you want from a sofa?
This tells me more than you might expect. It shapes the entire seating plan and upholstery direction.
Or describe it in your own words
06Color & Palette
Which colors feel right to you in a home?
Start with the basic colors, then look at the nuanced neutrals below. Choose whichever speaks to you — you can pick from either group.
The in-between tones designers work with most — harder to name, easy to feel.
Or describe a color you have in mind
07The One Thing
If the room had one thing that made you stop and notice — what would that be?
Not the whole room. Just that one moment that makes it feel like yours rather than anyone else's.
Or describe it in your own words
08Formality
How formal does your home feel, ideally?
Think about how you want to feel when you walk in at the end of the day — and how you want guests to feel.
Relaxed and welcoming Come in, sit anywhere, put your feet up. The room says: make yourself at home.
Quiet and considered The room commands a little respect. Polished and composed. Guests notice the care taken.
Or describe it in your own words
09What to Avoid
Which of these would make you uncomfortable in your own home?
Select everything that feels wrong — even instinctively, even if you cannot say exactly why.
Select all that apply
Anything else you want to avoid
10A Room You Remember
Think of a room you have been in — anywhere — that felt exactly right.
A friend's home, a hotel room, an office, somewhere you have traveled. It does not need to be fancy or recent. Describe it as best you can — what was in it, how it felt.
11Anything Else
Is there anything about how you live that would help me understand this project better?
No detail is too small. No instinct is wrong. This is your space.
