About Barb

2. Be open to the designer and express your deepest wants and desires.

Tell the designer about the way you want to use the space, the people you expect to have in the space, and what activities are to take place there. If you have seen rooms that appealed to you, discuss them with your designer. If you have seen pictures in magazines that appeal to you, clip them out and show them to your “team.” Remember, some things that you have seen in another home or in a magazine may not translate will into your space because of differences in the size of the rooms, location of the openings, lighting conditions, etc. Your design professional will guide you.
