Cooling, flooring and acoustics, ceiling design and the feature-wall material ladder each have a close, published match. Seating layout, the TV arrangement, storage and window treatment draw on real but narrower or differently-scoped content instead — including a house-archetype layout library and a StayReady rental furniture tool built for different questions than the ones asked here. Primary purpose has no decision behind it anywhere — it's recorded only as a brief fact, never offered as a choice.

Conversation, television, entertaining, family activity and formal reception aren't modelled as a single choice anywhere on the site. The Room Scope Builder's own programme line — room purpose and users — is explicitly a brief input: a project fact ELS records from the client, never an option picked from a list. The nearest real content is only implicit: one layout pattern separates a formal seating group from a television zone as two different arrangements, and another anchors a central conversation grouping — but both are whole-room layout patterns, not a standalone purpose decision.
The Layout tool's pattern library names two of the five sub-options almost verbatim — a linear front-living sofa run, and a front-living arrangement with a short L return — plus a central conversation grouping (a floating sofa arrangement, close to but not literally facing sofas) and an L-shaped-or-sofa-plus-chairs pattern. Every one is keyed to a house archetype rather than offered as its own seating-shape choice, and each pattern's room dimensions are still marked unverified. Sectional and a flexible/movable-chair arrangement exist only in ELS's StayReady Furniture Designer — a rental-letting tool, not a homeowner's living room.
One decision set compares three TV-wall compositions — a loose console, a console-plus-panel, and a full built-in wall — and two further sheets separately cover TV size and viewing distance, and media ventilation, cable access and device replacement. None of these models no TV, a projector, or a concealed/pop-up screen — every published option assumes a wall-mounted television is the given, so a client comparing having a screen at all against not having one has nothing published to look at yet.
The same TV-wall comparison already runs close to this question — a loose console, a console-plus-panel, and full built-in cabinetry — and a separate set compares three feature-shelving treatments (deep, feature and slim) for display. Concealed storage specifically — a media-wall bay that hides contents rather than displaying them — isn't modelled as its own option in either published set.
Four registry items already span this in full: wall panelling (laminate, timber veneer, fluted, WPC, aluminium composite or a stone-look sintered panel), wall paint (standard emulsion through a hand-worked textured finish), wall and facade tile (ceramic through natural stone and mosaic) and premium finishing (shadow-gap, microcement, metallic trim, backlit or book-matched detailing). Kept brief here on purpose — a dedicated feature-wall page goes deeper on the material and detailing choice.
The ceiling-system registry item runs skim-coat existing slab, flat plasterboard, bulkhead/cove detail and a bespoke feature ceiling (timber slats, fluting or coffers) — a close match for flat, layered/cove, exposed-slab and feature. Two rebuilt, published Living sheets — ceiling form, and lighting-service mounting — replaced an older combined comparison that mixed the two together and was withdrawn for exactly that reason.
The window-shading registry item runs bare glass, roller/Venetian blinds, curtains (a sheer day layer plus a block-out layer) and motorised/smart shading — a direct match for sheer, blackout and blinds — and one decision set is the published sheet for the same choice. Tinted glass and dedicated solar control aren't modelled as their own shading option; the closest is a separate premium laminated/performance glazing tier that cuts heat, noise and UV but sits under the window-system item, a different registry decision from shading.
The lighting-scheme registry item's layered option is a near-exact match — soft ambient fill, bright task light exactly where needed, and accent light to lift features, on separate circuits — and cove-led approximates a wall-wash treatment. One decision set is the published sheet for the scheme choice. Scene control itself is narrower today than the question asks: the white-light-control item only offers a fixed colour temperature or a single tunable-white range, not a multi-zone dimming scene.
The air-conditioning registry item runs fans-only/no-AC, wall split, ceiling cassette and concealed ducted, and one decision set is the published Living comparison of the three cooled options on the same room and camera. Ceiling fan and passive cross-ventilation are the ventilation item's own options — its louvre entry names cross-breeze directly, drawn in on a dry day and shut against driving rain.
Floor finish (SPC, porcelain tile, engineered timber) and one decision set give a direct, published Living comparison of all three. Room absorption runs hard surfaces through soft furnishings and rugs to purpose-made acoustic panels, and a separate sheet compares fabric panels, PET felt and timber slats for visible acoustic treatment in the same room. Curtains sit primarily under the window-treatment decision, but room-absorption's own text credits them too: heavy curtains cut a little more of the road and rain noise coming through the glass.
