The decision behind the detail
Review samples at the junction between finished and future phases. Existing floors and lamps may make the same paint appear different across the home.
A useful checklist
- Check daytime and evening light
- Record finish sheen
- Keep exact colour references
Bring it into the project brief
Agree whether trim and ceilings change now or later. Those boundaries should be visible in the phase scope.
