Method
A studio, not a filter.
Eight steps, always in the same order. Brief, system, plan, pieces, board, light, budget, sequence.
Three ways to design a room today
01
Photo restyle apps
Upload a photo, get a picture back. Fast. Often unbuildable. The furniture in it is not for sale.
02
Catalog planners
Measure the room, drop in products. Accurate. No design discipline — every choice is yours alone.
03
Hiring a designer
A person with a point of view. Slower, priced by the room, and it usually ends in a shopping list.
Nobody ships one brief, one style system, a locked palette, a short materials list, and a work sequence.
That is a studio. NOMINGOO is the fourth product.
How a studio works
Real studios move through five phases. NOMINGOO follows them and stops before contractor drawings.

- Schematic

The lock
The app runs the steps 01 to 08. Board follows pieces, because a board needs pieces on it.
Programming
Brief
Say what the room is for before anything is chosen.
- 01
Brief
What is this room for, and how should it feel?
Room, place, feeling, what stays, what goes, and a budget range.
Schematic design
System + Board
Pick one system. Lock the palette. See it hold.
- 02
System
Which design system governs every decision?
One of five systems: palette, materials, rules.
- 05
Board
Do the palette and pieces hold together?
Palette and pieces, seen side by side.
Design development
Plan, pieces, light, budget
Place everything. Light it. Price it against the band.
- 03
Plan
Where do people sit, walk, read, and store?
Room dimensions, openings, and zones.
- 04
Pieces
What goes in the room, and where?
Every piece, placed in a zone, with a reason.
- 06
Light
How does the room behave from morning to night?
Light layers, colour temperature, and the day.
- 07
Budget
What does it cost, against what was set?
Line items, a computed total, the range.
Work order
Sequence
The work, in order. What happens first, and why.
- 08
Sequence
In what order does the work happen?
Ordered steps, each tied to real pieces.
Later · Documents & admin
Documents & procurement
Contractor drawings, specs, ordering. Not in v1.
Five systems
Every project runs on one. It decides before you do.
Quiet Modern
Plaster, oak, linen, one metal, air.
Steppe Warmth
Wool, low furniture, copper, hearth logic; ger as rule, never costume.
Coastal Light
Bone, sand, sage, indoor-outdoor. No shells.
Gallery Dark
Soot walls, one light plane, few objects.
Soft Monument
One large piece, stone or oak, silence around it.
