Describe a real day
List the small routines: coming home, cooking, a video call, laundry, a guest staying over. A clear description gives a designer something concrete to solve.
Name what stays
Existing furniture, favourite objects and limitations are valuable information. A project does not need to begin with an empty room. Knowing what stays makes the change more precise.
Agree the unknowns
Measurements, structure, permissions and budget all need confirmation. A useful early brief records those unknowns instead of hiding them behind a finished-looking image.
