Write what you think and the response of other household members, as this will lay the foundation of our scheme.

2. Make a list of things we saw and we were delighted, and we’d like to copy. Not only draw on TV shows, exhibitions and magazines. Visit art galleries and museums, as these may be the best example of how to combine shapes, textures, scale, lighting and space, not to mention the acoustics.
