Brainstorming with a good coffee
Be imaginative, but when? In our fast-paced world, every minute is accounted for, it’s hard to find a moment when our imagination can run wild and let go of the worries of everyday life. For us, the times when we have our morning coffee is when we manage to finetune and rethink the design that we dreamed of at night.

There are a few simple questions/topics that you can think about to start get a better understanding how you space goanna look like are:
- Do you have an item, art, image, colour that you wanted to use in the space? Have a look at the art or item and see what colours are in there, this can hep you decide on potential colour scheme or even design styles in the space
- Get a few different desgin magazines and look through them. There are so many different designs and looks that you can have in your interior and sometimes it is hard to narrow down what you really want. Open up a few magazines and have a look at what is currently out there, as you go through mark items, desings, colours and looks that you like but only mark the ones that you really do like. If you are unsure leave it, you might come across something on the next page that you will like more or even love. Once you marked everything and gone through them all compare the things that you have marked (you can even cut them out and lay them out to make it easier to see them together). Compare them, group them and narrow them down if you can even further, as you are analysing them you will start seeing a style, or colour, or scheme imerging that will kick you imagionation into gear
- Ask yourself the following questions. By answering these it can help create a better understanding of the design and areas that you really need to think about and fulfill. It can also help create a priority order as to what is more important for this design, where you will be happy to comprimise pontentially.

- Sleep on it! Once you have done all three points from above and started to have the clogs turning take time to formulate the plan. Relax, sleep, meditate and let your thoughts take over and take you onto a journey of your future space. Your subcontious will give you indications on what you like and what direction you would like to take with the space, even if that is something really small like atmosphere in the space or color of the walls.
