Techniques for providing a unique UI and backend service designed to improve item placement within a defined environment are described. The placement of an item within the UI is governed by rules. Measurement data detailing dimensions of an area is received. An item selection menu within the UI is populated with items in a database. A design layout area, which represents the measured area, is displayed. In response to an item being selected from the item selection menu and being placed at a location within the design layout area, a set of rules is triggered. The placement of the item either does not violate the rules or, alternatively, that placement does violate the set rules. If the rules are violated, then alternative suggestions are provided. If the rules are not violated, then the item is placed at the location.
