Protect parts of your room you want to keep

Use this guide when you want to make sure Oona does not change specific pieces, areas, or categories of your room.

Name what must stay

• “Keep the sofa. Do not suggest alternatives.”
• “This is a rental. Do not suggest painting, wallpaper, or drilling.”
• “The dining table stays. Work around it.”
• “Flooring cannot be changed.”

Hard limits vs strong preferences

If something is non-negotiable, say so plainly (“must stay”, “do not change”). If you are open to alternatives, say that too. Clear constraints reduce back-and-forth.

Repeat constraints when needed

If Oona suggests changing something you wanted to keep, restate the constraint at the top of your next message and continue with the request.
