Troubleshooting & FAQ
A large landed home feels empty or cold — which styles fix this?
Filter this table for "Family-Centered" and "Luxury" — both favor layering (rugs, warm lighting, textured fabric) over open volume, which directly counters that cold, cavernous feeling.
Small landed house, but want it to feel elevated — which row applies?
Contemporary Minimalist and Small-Footprint Zoning are both tagged Budget Tier $–$$, proving luxury perception doesn't require luxury spend or square footage.
Is open-concept always the right call?
No — cross-reference "Open-Concept" against "Staircase-Centric" or "Double-Height Living" in the Maintenance and Ceiling Fit columns; open plans trade acoustic privacy for flow, so mixed households often blend zoning types instead.
Which styles need a multi-storey layout specifically?
Use the Floor Type filter set to "Multi-storey" — this isolates styles like Staircase-Centric and Double-Height Living that depend on vertical volume to work.
How is "Maintenance" scored?
1–5 dots, where higher dot count means more upkeep (natural stone, open shelving, glass balustrades) versus low-maintenance concealed storage and durable engineered surfaces.
