Ask Oona for better design suggestions

Ground requests in goals and constraints so advice feels grounded in your actual room.

Updated 2026-05-046 min read

Use this when advice feels generic, ignores the room, or misses priorities. You do not need perfect prompts — goal, constraints, and what must stay carry most of the signal.

Start with the goal

  • Living room — warmer and more finished without replacing the sofa.
  • Bedroom — calmer, better storage, less visual clutter.
  • Rented space — reversible changes without drilling.
  • Dining area — more polished but everyday-comfortable.

Add constraints

  • Budget posture.
  • Renter-safe or durability needs.
  • Kids/pets/accessibility/storage priorities.
  • Pieces that stay or pieces you dislike.
  • Rough measurements or timeline pressures.

Ask for tradeoffs

Directions like warmer-but-still-minimal help Oona steer without guessing.

Refine instead of restarting

Say what worked, what missed, and what to preserve. Focused tweaks beat long mixed lists.

If the assistant repeatedly ignores spelled-out constraints after you restate them, contact us with chat issue and attach your clearest photo context.
