Imagine you are going to plan and decorate your lounge. You’ve decided to consult the interior designer. Make up a dialogue. Make use of his pieces of advice:
Do
· Consider your plan
· Diagram everything on paper
· Decide if you are going to use any of your present furniture
· Plan the placement of lighting according to your furniture arrangement
· Plan your dining room. (Do you plan an open-up table? Is your family large or small? Do you plan parties?)
· List every item to be placed in the room
· Plan furniture and colours
· Think of heating system
Don’t do
· Don’t place too much furniture against the walls
· Don’t have too many things in the room
· Don’t have a floor-to-ceiling window on the north side, you’ll get cold
· Don’t choose more than three main colours
· Don’t be afraid to be different
Speaking
Think of your favourite room. Draw a plan of it on a piece of paper. Write down why you like it and some adjectives to describe it.
My favourite room is… I like it because it is…
Show a partner your plan and talk about why you like the room.
