When you know your intended use(s), then you can decide on aspects like seating/table arrangements and lighting style and intensity to name just two of many possibilities. It also helps to pace yourself; it is much more efficient not to make all your choices at once, but rather finish one step at a time as you narrow in on the specifics or as components change over time.
