<strong>Clipsal</strong> Essential Checklist<br />

When looking at<br />

decorating a room,<br />

where do you start?<br />

Well, everyone works in different and interesting<br />

ways, so do what works best for you. However, it is<br />

important <strong>to</strong> think about <strong>the</strong> whole room, not just<br />

one particular aspect of it. For instance, everyone<br />

seems <strong>to</strong> forget about window furnishings until<br />

<strong>the</strong> very end. But <strong>to</strong>day, window furnishings are<br />

more than just sticking up a rod with a curtain<br />

on it. They may need <strong>to</strong> be recessed in<strong>to</strong> pelmets<br />

and <strong>the</strong>re may be electronics related <strong>to</strong> that. You<br />

need <strong>to</strong> think about whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>y’ll be built in<strong>to</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> reveal, and if <strong>the</strong>y are, whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>re’s going <strong>to</strong><br />

be au<strong>to</strong>mation or heating and cooling outlets – it<br />

should all be part of <strong>the</strong> basic house design.<br />

From <strong>the</strong>re, consider flooring – what sort do<br />

you want? Then, whe<strong>the</strong>r you want under-floor<br />

heating… Things like that.
