You already know what you like.
The hard part is the room.

Hano reads what your eye is drawn to and composes a whole room of furniture, chosen to belong together. Then it tells you why.

A free taste read when we open. The product is already running with a small group of testers; tell us if you'd like in early.

Hano also takes on a small number of design projects.

Lead Designer: Charlie Barstein, With Hano

This home, featured in Architectural Digest Read the story →

Hiring a designer has always felt out of reach for most people. It doesn't have to be.

You knew what you liked before you had words for it. That part's yours, and it's enough to begin.

Everything after that, turning what you respond to into a room that feels resolved, has always been a designer's job. Hano notices what your eye keeps returning to, reflects it back to you clearly, then composes a room where each piece is chosen to sit with the others.

It's for anyone who wants a home that feels personal, with a distinct point of view, but doesn't know how to turn saved photos and AI renderings into a real room.

The taste stays yours. The judgment and the standards are Hano's, set by a working interior designer. Nothing gets recommended that wouldn't pass that eye. Hano adds the structure, and the confidence of knowing why.

And it's built to fit your budget: the taste read is free, every piece costs the store's own price, and you'll see the flat project fee before you commit to anything. No meter, no surprises.

A clear read of your taste, and a room you can live in.

You'll see your own eye laid out plainly, and a room composed to match:

  • Real, shoppable pieces, held to one standard at any price.
  • From wherever the right piece is: a known brand, a vintage find, a studio you'd never have surfaced.
  • Chosen because they fit you, not because anyone paid to rank. Hano isn't tied to any store's catalog, so nothing appears because someone needs to sell it.

Rooms from the practice.

The practice behind Hano

Real rooms from the practice, each featured in Architectural Digest. The same eye applies at any scale: a rental, a first apartment, one room at a time.

What a designer does with you.

Most of a designer's value is the judgment around the furniture — and that's what Hano brings to your room, with you.

01

Sees what's specifically yours

Not “mid-century modern,” but the exact things that catch your eye: a material, a proportion, a kind of light.

02

Fits it to your space

Chosen for your room, down to its light, its proportions, the way you actually live in it. Not a showroom set.

03

Pairs pieces that belong

Each piece chosen for its neighbors, materials that agree, proportions that line up. A room, not a list.

04

Choices you can trust

A few considered options, each with a clear reason: why this piece, why here. You stay in control, and confident in the result.

In Hano, these four things unfold as six short steps, from your first images to the room itself. Walk through them →

Not a marketplace

Hano holds no inventory and never marks up a piece. You buy from the maker or store directly, at their price.

Not a style quiz

No types, no labels, no score. Your actual taste, read from what draws you in.

Not invented furniture

No invented furniture. Every piece is real, shoppable, and explained.

It started with a friend who needed a designer.

Andrew Janatka could tell you exactly what he liked. He just couldn't turn it into a room. So he asked Charlie Barstein, his friend and an interior designer with a decade of work behind him, including years at the AD100 firm Commune Design.

Charlie looked at what Andrew was drawn to and built a room around it: pieces picked to work as a whole, a few worth keeping for years, most of it within reach. It was the first time Andrew's home felt like his.

Andrew builds software, and he has spent his career on products that pay attention to the person using them. Hano joins the two: a real designer's eye, and a way to put it in anyone's hands. It's for everyone who always assumed a designer wasn't for them.
