A detailed written report with recommendations tailored to your space, priorities and the changes you want to make.
Design Advice Report
Living and dining room
Brief and priorities
A clear route through the room, a defined reading area and a quieter visual palette. Budget and existing furniture would be confirmed in the client brief.
Room assessment
Review the supplied plan and photographs for door swings, furniture scale, daylight and reflective surfaces. Confirm the window orientation before choosing lighting and finishes.
Recommendation hierarchy
- Resolve the layout. Keep the entry route clear before selecting new furniture.
- Reduce glare. Assess curtain coverage and position a reading light beside, rather than behind, the reader.
- Refine the palette. Compare physical finish samples in daylight and evening light.
Prioritised action plan
| Priority | Action | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| First | Confirm furniture dimensions | Check the route and usable space |
| Next | Review lighting and textiles | Address glare and room acoustics |
| Then | Compare material samples | Match colour, budget and product information |
Next steps. Confirm furniture dimensions, review lighting options and compare physical finish samples.
