Better home decisions start with better questions.

Before you spend time or money on your home, HOW HOUSE helps you think it through. Answer a few thoughtful questions, show us your space, and get a personalized recommendation based on what matters to you.

Start a Home Decision

Upload photos. Answer a few questions. Get a recommendation you can feel good about.

Your home is full of decisions.

Paint or wallpaper? Repair or replace? Which sofa actually fits? Where should you spend, and where can you save?

There's no shortage of inspiration online. What's harder is figuring out what makes sense for your home.

HOW HOUSE helps you work through the decision before you shop, hire, or start the project.

What you leave with.

A recommendation written for your room, your priorities and your budget — with the reasoning shown, so you can decide for yourself.

Your HOW HOUSE recommendation

Confidence: High

Paint is the stronger direction to consider.

Your room gets strong natural light, you want the space to feel warm and timeless, and there's already visual interest in the adjoining room. Wallpaper could work, but paint gives you more flexibility while still creating the feeling you're after.
