Room Design Diagnostic Tool
Standards-based spatial diagnostics grounded in architectural clearance rules. Select your room type to calculate a Room Health Score, identify layout errors, and get prioritized fixes with estimated costs.
Select Room Type to Analyze
Good natural lighting, but severely penalized for an undersized 5×7 rug and restricted 19-inch walkway between sofa chaise and media console.
Always allow at least 14 inches of bare floor around room perimeters so the area rug frames the space like art rather than choking the walls.
Living Room (14×16 Space) Transformation
Prescribed Spatial Interventions
Ordered by visual ROI impactArea rug is undersized (5×7 in a 14×16 space)
Architectural Flaw: The rug floats between chairs without anchoring sofa front legs, visually breaking up conversation flow and shrinking the perceived room volume.
Coffee table placement restricts primary walkway to 19 inches
Architectural Flaw: Violates universal 36-inch architectural walkway minimum between sofa chaise and media credenza.
Lighting lacks secondary ambient & task layers
Architectural Flaw: Single 4000K overhead ceiling fixture casts clinical downward glare and harsh eye-level shadows.
Wall art is mounted 10 inches above eye-level
Architectural Flaw: Gallery canvas floats too high toward ceiling crown, visually disconnecting it from the seated furniture arrangement.
How the AI Room Doctor Audits Your Space
Unlike generic image generators that produce fantasy renderings ignoring architectural realities, the AI Room Doctor calculates real physical proportions, ergonomic clearances, and lighting kelvins.
36-Inch Circulation Audit
Audits primary walking arteries connecting doors and seating. Identifies pinch points where furniture chokes pathways below the universal 36-inch standard.
Rug & Furniture Anchoring
Detects floating "postage stamp" rugs. Calculates whether front legs of sofas and accent chairs rest at least 6 to 8 inches onto the rug to anchor conversations.
Kelvin & Glare Analysis
Evaluates downward overhead glare vs diffused ambient lighting. Flags 4000K+ daylight bulbs that wash out warm paint undertones and disrupt evening melatonin.
How to Capture Optimal Room Photos for AI Analysis
Capture at wide angle (0.5x on smartphones) showing where the floor meets baseboards on at least three walls.
Turn off artificial overhead lights when taking the photo so natural architectural shadows and true paint undertones are visible.
Frequently Asked Questions About Room Audits
Frequently Asked Questions
The Room Health Score (0 to 100) measures how well your room conforms to professional architectural standards across 6 core criteria: layout circulation clearance, furniture scale proportion, lighting kelvins and layers, color harmony, storage/clutter ratio, and visual balance.
Yes! Most low room scores are caused by placement errors rather than furniture quality. Repositioning a sofa to open a 36-inch walkway, lowering artwork to eye level (58 inches), and switching to 2700K warm bulbs can raise your score by 20 to 30 points at zero or minimal cost.
Yes. All uploaded room photos are processed securely in temporary memory for architectural diagnosis and are never published, shared, or made publicly accessible.
