Describe the room you actually have.

Start with use, friction and ordinary life. Do not solve it while you are describing it.

A jewel-box living room with emerald botanical wallpaper and a fuchsia velvet sofa, seen from the doorway, where a mustard velvet armchair and a brass bar cart sit in the only route in.

01 · The reading

Read the room.

Name the space, name the jobs it must do, rate six conditions, then check only the evidence that belongs to this kind of room. Room Lab ranks what is failing and gives you one thing to test first. A named safety concern stops the diagnosis. By default, everything stays in this browser.

The reading details

Name the room you actually have

What kind of space this is and what it must do are different questions. Name both. A kitchen can cook, host, serve, store and reset; a family room can gather, host, handle media, play and read. Nothing leaves this browser.

Rather see it work first?

6 real situations, already filled in. Every answer stays editable.

Required. Reuse the same name to track this room over time.

Optional, but it raises confidence. Describe the outcome, not the room label.

Optional, but it raises confidence.

The category describes the physical space. It does not decide what the room should do.

Primary means the job that gets protected first when the room cannot do everything at once.

Common here: Gather / conversation, Rest / retreat, Host / entertain. These are suggestions only; none is selected for you.

What else must this room do?

Choose the primary job first. Secondary jobs are additional demands, not category defaults.

What can you not do here?

Anything you tick is removed from the plan and from the experiment, rather than noted against them. Advice you are not allowed to take is not advice.

Anything above this ceiling is held back, and the reading says what it held back and why.

Measurements are in feet and inches. Change that under Appearance, bottom right, and every room follows.

A rental is a rental in every room. Saving these makes them the starting point for the next room you read — you can still change them per room.

Room size (optional)

Entering the room size makes proportion guidance specific to this room. Tell Room Lab where the numbers came from as well — a tape measurement, a plan, and an estimate are not the same evidence.

Unknown is allowed. If you have not measured yet, leave the fields blank rather than guessing — a blank stays unresolved instead of becoming a fake dimension.
