How to play
Every day at midnight (your time) a new room appears. It's one of our real small-space makeovers — a living room under $200, a rental bathroom, an IKEA hack weekend. You see the shopping list with no prices. Slide to your guess for the total budget and lock it in.
You get three stars if you're within 10% of the real total, two stars within 25% and one star within 50%. Come back tomorrow to keep your streak. Your streak counts days played in a row, not days you guessed right — so don't break it just because a room was tricky.
Why guessing prices makes you better at decorating
Most people overestimate what a makeover costs, and that's exactly why they never start. When you see over and over that a whole room changes for $120 or $200, you start noticing where the money actually goes: lighting, curtains, a bigger rug and a few textiles do the heavy lifting, while furniture often doesn't need to change at all.
The other lesson: cheap items add up. A $12 throw, a $15 shelf and three $8 baskets feel like nothing, but together they're often a third of the budget. Guessing totals trains you to see that before you're standing at the checkout.
Tips for a better score
- Count the items first. Small-space makeovers average $20–$40 per item. Eight items is rarely more than $300.
- Find the big-ticket item. Rugs, rods with long curtains, shelving units and lighting are usually the most expensive lines.
- Accessories are cheap. Pillow covers, trays, hooks and bulbs are usually $10–$20.
- Secondhand counts. Mirrors and frames in our rooms are often thrifted, which keeps them under $30.

Quick answers
How does the daily room game work?
Every day there is a new small-space makeover. You see the room and its shopping list without prices, guess the total, and get up to three stars depending on how close you are. Everyone gets the same room on the same day.
How are the stars counted?
Three stars if you are within 10% of the real total, two stars within 25%, one star within 50%. Anything further off gets zero stars — but you still keep your streak for playing.
