01
I want to improve furniture and layout first
When circulation and room use feel off, organizing furniture choices and placement often creates the clearest first improvement.
Starting Point
Common starting points
Some people want help only with furniture and layout. Others want the furniture and the finishes to feel connected. We support both, starting from wherever the situation is now.
02
I want furniture and finishes to work together
If walls, floors, lighting, and furniture are being considered at the same time, the space can feel much more coherent.
WHY FORMA
Why clients choose FORMA for homes
Home design works best when daily habits, visual tone, and practical ease are considered together. That balance is the center of our process.
REASON 01
We start from real life patterns
Family structure, daily rhythm, guests, work-from-home needs, and storage habits all affect what a home should prioritize.
REASON 02
Furniture and finishes can be planned together
Instead of treating furniture, materials, color, and lighting as separate decisions, we align them into one direction.
REASON 03
Support can match the scope you need
Some projects need planning only. Others need direction across more moving parts. We adjust the scope to fit that reality.
REASON 04
We protect long-term comfort
A home should still feel good after the first visual impression. Maintenance, storage, and calmness matter as much as style.
Services
Two service directions
We offer a focused furniture-planning track and a broader furniture-plus-interior direction track, depending on how much of the home needs to be organized.
Furniture Planning
Furniture proposal only
Typical fee: from ¥4,000 / sqm
Best when the existing space can stay as it is and the main goal is to improve layout, furniture selection, and overall tone.
- Furniture selection and coordination
- Furniture layout drawings
- Product list with purchase links
- Concept sheet for the overall direction
Furniture + Interior Direction
Furniture planning with finish direction
Typical fee: from ¥7,000 / sqm
For projects where wallpaper, flooring, lighting, or contractor coordination also need to connect back to the furniture plan.
- Integrated direction for furniture and finishes
- Support choosing wall and floor materials
- Coordination with contractors on specifications
- Updated layout and planning documents
Construction costs, material costs, procurement support, site visits, and architect-only scope are quoted separately as needed.
Flow
How a home project typically moves
We usually begin by clarifying lifestyle and priorities, then move into layout and furniture planning, and expand to finishes when needed.
01
COMMON STEP
Listening and brief definition
We review family structure, daily routines, visual preferences, and the parts of the current home that feel unresolved.
02
COMMON STEP
Review the current condition
We organize circulation, storage, mood, and what should change first based on drawings, photos, or the site itself.
03
FURNITURE PLANNING
Furniture and layout proposal
We prepare a layout direction and product list so the intended home can be understood clearly, not just imagined loosely.
04
FURNITURE + INTERIOR
Align finishes and contractor communication
For broader projects, wall and floor materials are organized so the finished space feels unified rather than pieced together.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can you help with an existing home, not only a new one?
Yes. We support renovations, post-move adjustments, and improving the home you already live in.
Can I ask only for furniture planning?
Yes. That is exactly what the Furniture Planning direction is for.
Do you work with properties outside Tokyo?
Depending on the project, yes. We can first review the location and decide what can be handled remotely.
What is the usual timeline?
As a guide, around 2 to 3 weeks for furniture planning and around 3 to 4 weeks for furniture plus interior direction.
