Product Pair

What it does

Type /product-pair and give it a product. Claude analyzes the product’s style, materials, color, scale, and price tier, then searches for 5-8 complementary products across different categories. Each pairing comes with design reasoning — material harmony, color coordination, scale proportion.

Use it to build out a room from a hero piece, complete a vignette, or fill gaps in an FF&E schedule.
