Understanding interior style is often intuitive but difficult to put into words. The Style Report turns images and preferences into clear design language that you can reference, share, and act on.
How the idea began
The Style Report grew out of my own experience renovating and restyling my home. Choosing fixtures, finishes, and lighting could be overwhelming because there were so many choices and so much information available. Without a deeper dive into design history or hours of research, it was difficult to know which decisions would stay consistent with the overall aesthetic I wanted. I began to imagine a tool that would make the process easier by identifying a style, naming it, and suggesting materials and fixtures that pair well together. The Style Report was created to do just that.
What it does
Upload a photo of a room or answer a short questionnaire. The Style Report returns a concise profile that includes a style name, a synopsis, a curated color palette with hex values, paired materials and finishes, lighting guidance, and design notes for implementation. You can save reports to a personal gallery and email a formatted version for quick sharing.
Why pairing matters
Good rooms work as systems. Materials, fixtures, and lighting influence one another, and the same palette reads differently under different sources and temperatures of light. The Style Report groups recommendations so choices connect across the space.
- Materials and finishes are paired to reduce guesswork. For example, oak with a light matte oil, brushed nickel hardware, and a warm white on walls.
- Lighting suggestions consider ambient, task, and accent layers so the room reads consistently from morning to evening.
- Design notes translate the analysis into steps. They identify where to invest, where to keep restraint, and how to maintain continuity between adjacent rooms.
This pairing is useful for homeowners planning a project and for designers who need a fast way to communicate a direction that holds together.
How it fits into real workflows
For homeowners and renters
- Build a shared vocabulary before making purchases.
- Test a look with a room photo and use the report to guide fixtures, paint, textiles, and art.
- Save multiple reports to compare options over time.
For interior designers and agencies
- Use the questionnaire as a pre-brief to align with clients.
- Generate a first-pass style read from client inspiration photos and attach the emailed report to a proposal or concept deck.
- Keep reports in a project gallery as a record of decisions and to support procurement notes.
For showrooms and retailers
- Offer a quick style read during consultations to connect merchandise to an articulated look.
- Share the emailed report as a take-away that lists palette, materials, and lighting ideas tied to in-store products.
What is in the report
- Style name and synopsis that summarize the intent.
- Color palette with names, roles, and hex values.
- Materials and finishes that pair well and stay coherent through the space.
- Lighting guidance that covers sources, temperature, and placement cues.
- Design notes with practical steps and cautions.
