How does my decorating taste come into play?

Will the floor plan of your new home plan accommodate your existing or new furniture arrangements and furniture styles? When planning room sizes carefully consider the seating areas and how furniture placement will affect the overall feel of the room. Do you want two separate seating areas or one larger conversation area? How will the room flow into other rooms? Measure your current furniture to determine if there will be adequate walking space of at least 36 inches around furniture and clearance for doors to swing. Will the height of your furniture block windows? Does it provide enough wall space, nooks and areas for art and personal effects? Review the natural "traffic flow" of the house plan, the interior views from each room of the home as well as how natural lighting can be shared and utilized within the home.
