Since launching its certification program in 2011, the Room Stylist Association has been guided by the philosophy of 'increasing the number of people who love their own rooms.' The theme 'Reborn' expresses their determination to continue spreading the value of 'well-being' through housing and to take on new challenges for the future.

15 Years of 'Increasing People Who Love Their Rooms'

The Room Stylist certification program began in 2011.

Driven by the goal of 'increasing the number of people who love their own rooms,' the association has aimed to promote room creation that reflects one's true sense of comfort, moving beyond passing trends or conventional wisdom.

In recent years, due to the spread of remote work and changing lifestyles, housing has become increasingly important not just as a place to live, but as a foundation for life—encompassing working, learning, resting, and enjoying.

The Room Stylist Association considers creating living environments that support a 'well-being lifestyle' a key social theme and is dedicated to spreading the value of housing where everyone can live comfortably in their own way.

Well-being, in our view, is not just about a tidy room; it is a state where the mind, body, and individuality circulate comfortably. We believe the living space is the foundation of this state.

We focus on training and supporting 'Room Stylist Pros' who can listen to client concerns and advise them on how to achieve their ideal living environment.
