Marked this as solved after being told that on room renovations I am able to choose what room to do-however I'm unsure again whether or not I'm facing a bug as unfortunately I've yet to ever encounter a job where it is restricted, despite jobs being labelled things like "Kitchen Renovation" & level renovations haven't been restricted either :/ if none of these things are meant to be restricted I'm not sure why they bothered restricting anything at all/why they'd have said in the livestream that it would be restricted if most of the time it's not.
On higher level jobs people also keep leaving the renovated area and reacting badly to their pre-existing furniture so I'm failing every job, but I'm not sure if that's simply the failing every job bug other people are experiencing or has to do with this :/
Did you check under restrictions (visible in build mode) or just get lucky. Level restrictions usually restricted to ground level. Specific rooms not necessarily restricted to an existing room. No new tiles is the most used restriction. another restriction you can get when your career has increase is that it must be an addon.
You mention clients reacting badly to their pre-existing stuff. May I remind you that you are there to redesign not just leave their old stuff.

@jpkarlsen I have never had any mentioned restrictions beyond no added tiles, which I found strange since, if I remember correctly, in the livestream they said that with some renovations you'd be restricted to editing a specific area of the house. Even with specific room renovations (i.e. "kitchen renovation" or "bedroom renovation") there has never been a restriction to the rooms mentioned. I replace EVERYTHING in the room that is being renovated, even changing wallpaper and floors, and they go into a different part of the house and react poorly. EX: I had a "living room renovation" in Sulani where they said they didn't like island decor. I replaced everything island in the living room, they walked into the kitchen and reacted poorly to their existing kitchen decor and then I failed the job.
However, I have only had this issue after leveling up in the career, and some other people have said in a separate thread that they're failing every job despite fulfilling all the likes/dislikes so I'm not really sure if I'm failing all the jobs because they're leaving the renovated area, I leveled up, or some combination of the two.

Did you point out the renovations? At least three but you can do more. If you scroll down the list of available gigs you will find the harder renovations that generally have more restrictions. If you don't see those kinds you likely have not advanced sufficiently in the career.

@jpkarlsen yep, been pointing out a minimum of three new things. They end up walking away and reacting poorly in between me pointing out the renovations. didn't have any issues before leveling up to level 2, but ever since then every job, and I've taken 6, has failed. However, I'm not sure if the failing gigs has to do with the restriction thing being open and them not liking old furniture or leveling up in the career as i've also seen other forums saying that they can't successfully complete any gigs either, or a combination of the two.
I'm not sure which gigs are SUPPOSED to have bb restrictions, but no types have so far for me. specific room renovations (ex: "kitchen renovation" which I had to level up to unlock) haven't been any different functionally than an open any room renovation, and no level renovations have told me what level or restricted me to a level/shown any restriction other than the "no new tiles" restriction shown in the very first renovate any room gigs.
