The decision behind the detail
Trace arriving home, preparing a meal, working and winding down. Note where belongings accumulate or people get in each other’s way. These observations give the renovation a practical purpose.
A useful checklist
- List daily frustrations
- Identify the busiest rooms
- Rank the changes
Bring it into the project brief
Choose a small number of outcomes before collecting finishes. A clear routine is easier to design for than a general wish for more space.
