Home design ideas to discuss

Consider colors, materials and room features in the context of everyday use.
Color and materials
Collect examples of colors, wood tones and textures you like. Compare them in the rooms where they would be used, and consider lighting, upkeep and the materials you plan to retain.
Walls and ceilings
Wallpaper, ceiling finishes and exposed details can change the character of a room. Ask how a proposed finish would be installed and maintained before making a selection.
Function before a trend
Describe what each space needs to do. Storage, circulation and access to daylight are useful discussion points alongside appearance.
