ILikeDecor Design Health Score
Top 4 Architectural Improvements
Layered Illumination Deficit (~4544 Lumens)
Room volume (252 sq ft) requires 5544 lumens. A single overhead fixture leaves dark corners and harsh downlight glare.
Optimal Rug Scale: 9×12 ft (2.7×3.6 m)
Undersized rugs float in isolation and visually shrink room volume. All front sofa legs must anchor the rug perimeter.
Wall Surface Refresh: 6 Gallons Needed
Scuffed or dated wall tone reduces perceived light reflectance value (LRV).
THX 40° Seating Distance: 11.5 ft
Incorrect viewing distances cause ocular strain and neck fatigue.
Quick Wins (High Impact • Minimal Effort)
THX 40° Seating Distance: 11.5 ft
$0 DIYPosition seated eye distance at ~11.5 ft from media display and mount console at ~18" height.
Budget-Constrained Action Schedule
Target Budget: $2000 USD • Estimated Spend: $750
Room volume provides comfortable spacing for standard multi-piece seating without downscaling.
Baseboards and flooring are architecturally sound; focus budget on furnishings and lighting rather than floor tear-out.
Ground main conversational seating with a 9×12 ft (2.7×3.6 m) area rug.
Apply 2 coats of low-VOC matte/eggshell emulsion matching Japandi style palette.
DO NOT CHANGE (Already Working Well)
Preserving these verified strengths saves money and avoids unnecessary remodeling.
Generous Architectural Scale
Room volume provides comfortable spacing for standard multi-piece seating without downscaling.
Existing Baseboard & Flooring Foundation
Baseboards and flooring are architecturally sound; focus budget on furnishings and lighting rather than floor tear-out.

How the Unified Decision Engine Works
Most interior design tools provide isolated calculators—a paint calculator here, a rug chart there, and an unconnected floor planner. The Intelligent Room Advisor connects every single data point into a unified spatial decision graph:
Consumes exact length, width, and ceiling height to compute square footage, gross perimeter, and cubic volume.
Audits 36" ADA walkways, 14–18" conversational gaps, and doorway transit feasibility.
Calculates total lumens needed, Kelvin color warmth, paint cans, and flooring boxes with 10% waste buffers.
Categorizes action steps into KEEP, MOVE, REPLACE, and ADD so you never overspend your stated budget.
Zero Fabricated Advice
Every finding displays an evidence tag proving exactly why it exists. If inputs are missing, the engine asks for what it needs rather than hallucinating generic advice.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Intelligent Room Advisor unifies data across your verified Room Profile, all 10 residential trade calculations (Area, Paint, Flooring, Lighting, Rug, Curtains, TV Distance, Budget), and your 2D Furniture Fit spatial layout. It deterministically checks ADA 36-inch walkways, conversational 14–18" clearances, lumen requirements, and budget constraints before compiling a prioritized action plan.
Deterministic calculations strictly compute physical measurements, square footage, clearances, collision overlaps, quantities, and arithmetic. Real AI is only invoked for visual interpretation of photos, design style reasoning, and natural-language synthesis. AI never overrides physical math.
The "DO NOT CHANGE" list recognizes architectural elements, furniture pieces, and proportions that are already functioning well. This prevents unnecessary remodeling waste, preserves working character, and saves homeowner budget for high-impact interventions.
Selecting goals such as "Make room feel larger", "Stay within budget", or "Make room brighter" applies deterministic priority multipliers. For example, "Make room feel larger" promotes circulation fixes and proportional rug scaling, while "Stay within budget" promotes zero-cost repositioning moves.
No. The ILikeDecor Design Assessment is an algorithmic space-planning decision aid grounded in residential graphic standards and ADA accessibility baselines. It does not replace licensed structural engineering, architecture, or electrical inspection.
