Answer : It is important to remember that you will spend a third of your day in your home, and plan accordingly. That said, in general it's a good idea to create a living space that has an emphasis on keeping it simple and relaxing in the place where you spend most of your time. A few things include making sure there is plenty light with windows from all angles, paying attention to where the sun falls at different times of year when deciding what rooms should be or if placing landscape for privacy might be needed. Designers recommend incorporating textures with changing patterns for appeal, incorporate lighting with dimmers for intimate evenings and noise-free naps. Lastly but not least - do not forget about pets!
