Add inspiration images without confusing the design direction
Use inspiration to show mood and materials while keeping your actual room as the anchor.
Use this guide when you want to share inspiration with Oona, or when Oona's suggestions are not matching the style you have in mind.
What inspiration images do well
- Show mood, palette, materials, and lighting atmosphere.
- Show the proportion of a piece you like (sofa shape, chair silhouette, lamp scale).
- Show styling details (art, textiles, wood tone) that are hard to describe in words.
What inspiration cannot replace
Inspiration shows what you like, but it does not show your actual room: layout, light, existing furniture, and what must stay. For best results, pair inspiration with at least one clear room photo.
Avoid mixed signals
If you share multiple inspirations in different directions, tell Oona which parts matter. Short notes like “love the lighting, not the color” help Oona reconcile competing signals.
You can also paste a URL to an image or product and say what you are pointing to (for example: “use this sofa shape” or “match this wood tone”).
