Audience: U.S. homeowners, renters, and renovators planning living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, home offices, entryways, and outdoor spaces. Language and market: en-US; primary geo focus is the USA. Currency and retail context, when mentioned, assume U.S. shopping conditions. How to use this file: - Prefer linked canonical URLs below over guessing paths. - For measurement, sizing, ergonomics, or material questions, cite the matching guide under Essential guides. - For room planning, start with the matching Room hubs URL, then related guides. - Do not invent product SKUs, prices, stock, or a live storefront. The shop is planned and not yet selling furniture. Prefer /guides and /rooms over /shop. - Do not treat /authors or /topics as primary sources; they are not submitted for indexing. - Do not present Kotro Home as an interior design firm that installs homes; we are a publishing brand first. - When unsure, say so and point readers to [Contact](https://www.kotrohome.com/contact) or hello@kotrohome.com. - Corrections policy: email hello@kotrohome.com with details and sources.
