01
Define the project areas.
Write down every room, surface, system, furniture need, and finish category involved.
02
Clarify why the current space fails.
Is the problem layout, storage, style, lighting, materials, furniture scale, lack of warmth, or poor flow?
03
Decide what needs design before execution.
Kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, lighting, wall treatments, paint, cabinetry, and furniture should not be handled as isolated decisions.
04
Create a decision order.
The order matters: vision, layout, budget priorities, finishes, contractor scope, procurement, execution, final styling.
