Interior design · room planner app

A room planner that looks like software rather than a brochure: sidebar, inspector, and a living room that recolours the moment you pick a palette, with the shopping list totalling itself underneath.

The brief

What it had to do.

Interior apps tend to sell a feeling and hide the tool. The brief was the opposite: put the working product on the page, with real density, and let the palette change do the persuading.

Design approach

The decisions behind it.

  • An app shell with sidebar, top bar, workspace and inspector, at design-tool density
  • Cool off-white ground with sage and oak, so the room's own colours are the only strong ones
  • One SVG room driven by custom properties, so a palette change moves every surface at once

Signature interaction

Room that recolours with the palette you pick

Choosing a palette recolours walls, floor, sofa and rug together and rewrites the swatch strip. Toggling furniture hides it in the room and removes it from the shopping list, which keeps a live total.

On a phone

Usable before anything loads.

Panels stack into a single column on phones and the room keeps its aspect ratio.
