Having trouble sparking quick, easy engagement in your home decor community? Get your members chatting with playful This or That prompts that take seconds to answer. These ready-to-use templates make participation effortless and fun.
Plan your content calendar and auto-post to Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks
This or That prompts work because they strip away decision fatigue and invite instant participation. With only two options, members feel safe and comfortable joining in, even if they are usually shy or uncertain about sharing more detailed posts. The playful tone encourages spontaneity and lowers the barrier for first-time commenters.
Additionally, these prompts tap into the psychology of preference sharing. People love expressing their style and opinions, especially on lighthearted topics like home decor. Quick choices can spark follow-up discussions, friendly debates, and a sense of belonging as members discover common tastes or fun differences. This format keeps engagement high while maintaining a relaxed community vibe.

Post a This or That question as a standalone post, in stories, or as a quick poll. Use eye-catching images or simple text for clarity. Rotate topics from week to week to keep conversations fresh and inclusive. Respond to answers with encouragement or follow-up questions to deepen engagement. Encourage members to share their reasoning or photos if they feel inspired.
For all platforms, keep prompts short and visually clear. Use polls or stories for quick answers, or post as simple text for easy commenting. Mobile-friendly images can boost engagement. Pin or schedule posts at active times to maximize reach.
Highlighting iconic room images or specific design elements representing Minimalism and Maximalism can encourage members to share personal preferences and decorating experiences. Consider using visual templates that contrast clean lines against layered, eclectic spaces, and ask members which approach they incorporate at home, fostering rich conversations about functionality and aesthetics.
Leverage current industry trends by comparing options like 'Earthy Neutrals vs. Bold Jewel Tones' or 'Matte Black Accents vs. Brushed Gold.' Ask members to vote with images or mood boards, and use the discussion to surface tips on integrating these palettes into various rooms, considering factors like lighting and existing furniture.
Present clear images and detail the pros and cons, such as maintenance, comfort, and style compatibility. Encourage members to share their experiences with durability or pet-friendliness, making the conversation practical for real-life home settings. This approach adds depth beyond simple preferences.
Schedule posts ahead of seasonal transitions to inspire timely discussions. Include visuals of both decor options in relevant settings (e.g., living room mantels or entryways) and prompt members to share photos of their own seasonal updates, increasing engagement through relatable scenarios.
Frame the conversation to highlight functional considerations—like storage needs, organization, and cleaning routines—rather than purely aesthetic preferences. Encourage members to weigh in with the pros and cons they've encountered, and remind everyone that design is subjective and depends on household needs.
Use side-by-side images of completed DIY projects and similar store-bought items, and prompt members to discuss cost, time investment, and personalization. Encourage sharing of DIY tips and supplier recommendations, which not only drives engagement but also builds a knowledge base tailored to your community.
