The Cove is a room-design service that helps students and renters turn ordinary bedrooms and dorms into calm, considered spaces. Users can choose a curated mood or create a palette from their own colors, then upload a photo of the room they want to transform. The Cove analyses the space and curates a custom concept, matching each piece to the selected palette and mood. The result is a shoppable look, with individual items linked so customers can explore the shopping list and complete purchases through the retailers’ websites.

The curated selections include furnishings and decor such as area rugs, task chairs, floor mirrors, desk accessories, curtains, and planters, with an emphasis on quality at accessible prices. The service is designed for renters, favoring changes that do not require drilling, painting, or permanent alterations. Customers can save concepts and build a look around their own preferences. The Cove also says room photos remain private and are never shared with vendors.
