Summer slows things down, and a slower season is a good season to think clearly about your home.
You are actually in the house
Longer days and quieter weeks mean you notice things: the corner nobody sits in, the lamp that never gets switched on, the room that empties the moment guests arrive. Those observations are the raw material of a good brief.
You are ahead of the autumn rush
Projects started in summer land their installations in the months when the house gets used hardest. Given typical lead times of nine to twelve weeks on furnishings, a summer start is what makes an autumn finish realistic.
Decisions are easier without a deadline
There is no holiday looming, no event forcing your hand. That is precisely when people make choices they are still happy with years later.
If your home has been quietly not working for a while, this is the season to do something about it.
