Room inspiration that starts with your room.

Go wide first, then narrow

Inspiration works best in two passes. First, run one photo through styles you'd never pick on paper — cabin, Japandi, art deco, coastal — alongside the ones you expect to like. Sometimes the surprise is the one you keep. Then pick two or three finalists and compare them side by side against the original.

Styles worth a first pass

• Calm: zen, Japandi, Scandinavian, minimalist.
• Warm: cabin, rustic, farmhouse, biophilic.
• Classic: transitional, French country, traditional.
• Bold: art deco, pop art, maximalist, Hollywood regency.

Every room has a different question

In a bedroom, the question is usually mood: how calm or how cozy. In a living room it's furniture weight and color. In a bathroom it's tile and fixtures, where a style change shows up most in the vanity and the walls. Shoot each room so the thing you're deciding on is clearly in frame.

Getting a usable photo

1. Shoot from a doorway or corner with the normal 1x lens.
2. Turn the lights on and avoid strong backlight from windows.
3. Clear what you don't want redesigned; it all ends up in the result.

Inspiration, not instructions

What you get is an image of a possible room. It won't measure the space, list products, or tell you what anything costs. Save the versions you like, download them, and bring them to the store, your designer, or your contractor as a reference.
