Benjamin Moore® Design By What Matters This year, Benjamin Moore® revealed their Design by What Matters tool. This new and interactive tool lets you pick the room you want to design and then asks you a series of lifestyle questions. In my test run I was asked to select my favorite group of furnishings, whether I was a cat or a dog person, explain how I liked to divide my time, and what my dream view was, among other things. At the end of your questionnaire you are given a choice to upload a favorite, create a palette, or let the website surprise you. Once you get to your room it gives you design tips and lets you pin, share and email the room to your friends and family. Using the website is very easy and fun and with endless combinations you are sure to find something that is uniquely you. Model: Learn more about Design by What Matters |
