- 1
Which rooms are we working on?
Pick Many- Living room

Sets the scope before anything else, so the rest of the questions are about the right rooms.
- 2
Should the room feel calm or lively?
Word Pair- Calm
- Lively
One quick choice that tells you the energy they want before they see a single picture.
- 3
How much do you like to have out on display?
Spectrum- Almost nothing out

A slider between two ends. It shows you how much storage and shelving the scheme needs.
- 4
Finish each line with the word that’s closer.
This / Not That- Colours should be warm / cool
- Wood should be light / dark
- Furniture should be matching / collected over time
Three quick lines on colour, wood and furniture, answered one at a time.
- 5
Which of these would you like in your home?
Pick Many- Open shelving
- Patterned wallpaper
- Dark painted walls
- Statement lighting
- Built-in storage
- A bold rug
Six ideas. They pick any they want.
- 6
Should we change the layout, such as moving walls, plumbing or lighting?
Stake Binary- Yes, include it
- No, keep the layout
Your own estimate sits on the card (the template says $15,000 as an example), so they answer with the cost in view.
- 7
What isn’t working in the room today?
Long answer- Placeholder: Light, storage, comfort, how you use it
Their own words about the room as it is now.
Step 2 · Moodboard: Rooms and materials
10 images · react to at least 6
Your client sees: “Tap images to react. Tell us what you like and what you don’t.” They click a picture, rate it from 1 to 10, pick what draws them in or puts them off (Texture & materiality, Color palette and more), how it makes them feel, and can add a few words.
Step 3 · Comparison: Which is closer to your home?
3 pairs per person
