Think About Design and Function

Design and function should be foremost in your mind if you're thinking of adding a room or converting an existing room.

When planning a larger, more complicated project, give thought to details such as:

• intended use of the space
• flow of the space
• where you want electrical outlets
• telephone jacks and cable hook-ups located
• the type of lighting required
• your current and future storage needs
• and whether you want to include luxury items
