The Renders Look Great. But Will It Actually Work?
You typed your room into ChatGPT, asked Midjourney for a moodboard, or ran your space through one of the new AI design tools. The output looks beautiful. But there’s no way to know whether the proportions are right, whether the colors will hold up under your actual lighting, or whether that gorgeous-looking sectional will leave you with no walking path.
The AI suggested a 96-inch sofa for a room your tape measure says is 11 feet wide.
Every render uses dramatic west-facing window light that you don’t have.
The recommended paint color shifts dramatically between renders and the actual swatch.
The plan doesn’t account for the radiator/outlet/door swing you live with daily.
How It Works
A Sanity Check From a Real Designer
01
Send your AI plan ahead of the call
Screenshots of renders, the prompt you used, the moodboard, links to the suggested products — share whatever the AI gave you so Emily can review it before you talk.
02
Walk through what works and what doesn’t
On the call, you’ll go through the AI’s plan together. Emily flags the parts that won’t hold up in real life — proportions, sightlines, lighting interactions, durability — and explains why.
03
Adjust into something you’ll actually live with
You leave with a refined version of the plan that accounts for your real space, your real budget, and your real life. No need to start over.
“As someone who knows nothing about design, I felt completely at ease. She broke everything down in a way I could understand and gave me a realistic timeline for my renovation.”

Not in a 15- or 30-minute call. The goal is to refine what the AI gave you, not replace it. For a full from-scratch plan, book the 60-minute option and bring your room dimensions.
Anything that opens in a browser works — screenshots, image links, a doc, even a folder of references. You’ll be able to attach things to your intake form after booking.
Yes. Emily uses several of the current AI design tools and can tell you which ones produce useful starting points for your situation, and which to skip.
