In my opinion it is the function of the area that?you are?planning to remodel.?You need to consider traffic patterns, work areas, storage, seating, lighting, dressing areas, etc. If there are certain things you are wanting then that needs to brought up so nothing is overlooked in the?designing of the area. I’m not overlooking the appearance element because you can make a functional space (and a not so functional space for that matter) look the way you want it to appear but if it looks great but doesn’t work well you probably won’t be completely happy.
