The decisions that make a home feel effortless get made long before it looks like a home. 🧱
At first fix it is all studwork, cable and chalk marks. That is the moment you choose which rooms get lighting scenes, where the controls sit on the wall so they fall naturally to hand, whether the heating is zoned room by room or left as one.
None of it is visible yet. All of it is what the house will feel like to live in for the next twenty years.
It is the least photogenic stage of a build, and one of the most worth slowing down for. ✏️
Building soon? Save this for when you reach first fix.
