Outlets, switches and where you actually stand
Walk the room and mime your routine. Where do you set the phone down, plug in the kettle, reach for a light in the dark? Decide those positions before the electrician does.
Transitions between materials
Where wood meets stone, where tile stops, where the panelling ends. These junctions are what separate finished work from nearly finished work.
Storage for the unglamorous things
Vacuum, ladder, cleaning supplies, sports gear, holiday boxes. If they are not designed a home, they end up in the beautiful new room.
