Architectural Guidance

Design Rules Derived for My Living Room

Empirical guidelines calculated specifically from your room's physical square footage and geometry.

Rugs & FlooringHigh Priority

Anchor seating with minimum 9×12 ft rug

At 252 sq ft, smaller 5×7 or 6×9 rugs visually shrink the room. A 9×12 preserves 14"–18" bare perimeter reveal while grounding all front furniture legs.

Lighting ArchitectureHigh Priority

Enforce 2700K Kelvin for all eye-level lamps

Avoid 4000K/5000K daylight LEDs in relaxation zones. 2700K produces an inviting amber warmth that flatters wall paint and natural wood grain.

Window TreatmentsMedium Priority

Mount curtain rods high and wide

Mount the rod 3" below your 9 ft ceiling and extend 8"–10" beyond the window casing so open panels do not block natural daylight.

CirculationHigh Priority

Protect 36" primary walking corridors

Ensure a continuous 36-inch clear path from entry doors to main seating and windows to meet universal architectural clearance standards.

Engineering Architecture

One Room Profile → Ten Connected Design Decisions

Traditional renovation websites force homeowners to enter room width, length, and ceiling height on every individual tool. ILikeDecor solves this through a normalized, versioned Room Profile architecture:

1. Architectural Geometry

Length, width, and ceiling height normalize into internal canonical feet and meters. Derived values like 252 sq ft are reused across flooring, rugs, and lighting without rounding drift.

2. Multi-Trade Formula Bridge

Deterministic formulas from certified trade guidelines (IESNA lighting standards, NKBA walkway clearances, THX cinema field of view) consume the profile simultaneously.

3. Transparent Classification

Every metric displays its origin: CALCULATED (exact geometry), ESTIMATED (material allowances), or RECOMMENDED (design rules).

4. Bidirectional AI Integration

One-click export to the Real AI Room Designer preselects your physical room bounds, style, and budget targets for visual redesign synthesis.

Frequently Asked Questions

The engine establishes a centralized Room Profile data model storing verified room dimensions, architectural boundaries, style preferences, and budget targets. Every trade calculator consumes this single source of truth, eliminating repetitive data entry while preserving full manual override capability on any individual tool.

Every dependent trade calculation—including square footage, paint cans, flooring boxes, rug reveals, and lighting lumens—recalculates synchronously in memory. The engine uses profile versioning so you never view stale numbers.

Every calculation clearly tags its output as CALCULATED (pure geometric math), ESTIMATED (formula with empirical material allowances such as 10% paint buffer or tile cut scrap), or RECOMMENDED (interior design rules such as 2700K Kelvin or 14"–18" rug reveals).

Yes. The AI Room Designer imports your saved Room Profile dimensions, room type, target style, and budget constraints directly into its spatial generation engine, ensuring your visual redesign matches physical room proportions.
