Living room planning note

START HERE

Before you bring another object into the room.

Start by making the first three decisions visible. It is the quickest way to stop a practical plan getting lost in a long list of beautiful things.

THE CHECKLIST

Three questions to bring with you.

What is the room expected to do on an ordinary weekday?
Where does the light sit at the hour you most use it?
Which one decision would make the rest of the shortlist easier?

THE AFTER

Let the room keep asking useful things of you.

The point of a good guide is not a perfect answer. It is a clearer way to see what belongs, what can wait, and what will matter when the room is actually lived in.
