Finding your own style: 

Ways to do this are to know your space, i.e. know how it flows and works or doesn't work by living in the space for a good amount of time.  Know how rooms are needed with your lifestyle.

Look through design magazines, books, etc. and keep a scrap book or file of the pictures or pieces that spoke to you or you distinctly love.

From your travels or special gifts gathered think of pieces you would like to use or build on in specific areas of the home.

View: do you have one, do you need one?  Placement and area of view affects the interiors.  How does privacy affect view,  and window treatments?

Questions to ask yourself:

• What image or lifestyle do you wish to project in each room or overall?
• How will each room be used?
• What activities will take place in each room?
• What is your time frame, for each room?
• What is your budget, for overall and/or each room?
• Which area or room has priority?  After first priority what follows?
• Are there trouble areas or specific information that should be given or addressed?
