Your Design Score (sometimes shown as a style score or star rating) summarizes how well your room performs in the community and is used to determine duel results, voting prizes, and some in-game rewards. The exact scoring formula is not public, but the game and product guidance make clear what matters most to other players — and therefore what tends to increase your score.
What the Design Score Is
The Design Score is a short, easy way to show how a design is perceived by the community.
In voting and duels the score is presented as a style score (star rating) rather than a raw percentage, making feedback easier to read at a glance.
The final score you see after submitting a project is the result of the game’s internal scoring and the community votes that your design receives.
Factors that affect your score
The developers haven’t published the exact algorithm, but product guidance and community feedback indicate the following factors are important:
Materials & Rarity — Premium and rarer materials are eye-catching. Using appropriate premium materials can make a design feel richer and more polished.
Theme Fit — Designs that match the room’s theme and use materials that suit the furniture and space are typically viewed more favorably.
Variety & Coverage — Applying materials and decorative items across many objects (rather than leaving large empty areas) usually improves perceived quality.
Composition & Balance — A strong focal point, balanced layout, and thoughtful placement generally make a design look more finished and increase appeal.
Color & Texture Harmony — Color coordination and texture choices that look cohesive are easier for voters to appreciate.
Uniqueness & Creativity — Original ideas and unexpected, tasteful combinations can make your room stand out.
Presentation — Using the preview/eye view to ensure the room looks good at a glance helps, since voters see the room in a compact view.
Note: These are guidance points based on how the design system and voting are presented to players. They reflect what typically leads to higher community ratings, but they are not a guaranteed formula.
Voting vs. System Score
Voting / Duels: Community votes (head-to-head or community voting) determine duel outcomes and many rewards. Your design needs to appeal to other players to win duels.
Style Score: The star-style score shows how well your design is rated; it’s an easier way for players to see performance than raw percentages.
Both community votes and the style score affect your success in duels and the rewards you receive, so making a design that voters like is the clearest path to a higher score.
What to check if your score seems low
Does the design match the room theme? If not, try swapping materials that better suit the furniture and space.
Are large areas empty or repetitive? Add variety and coverage so the room feels complete.
Are colors and textures clashing? Aim for harmony in tone and texture.
Preview before you submit — use the view mode to check how the room appears without the editor grid.
Compare with high-scoring designs for the same room to see what voters rewarded.
