Believing that form should follow function, Nicolette Toussaint takes an ergonomic approach to remodeling and redecorating and emphasizes:

• Choosing furnishings that enhance your favorite activities, particularly in rooms used for multiple purposes
• The effect of color on mood as well as its use to define space
• How lighting impacts social patterns, feelings and your key activities
• Creating traffic patterns that encourage conversation, allow privacy and enable you to move easily through your dwelling
• Storage that gives you easy access to frequently used items while reducing clutter
• Designing for special needs such as dust allergies/asthma, hearing impairment, low vision or wheelchair access
• The need to control the audio aspects of the space to allow for concentration, conversation and privacy
• Creating healthy interiors that avoid toxic materials that harm our health -- particularly the health of childen, the elderly and those with compromised immune systems
• Using sustainable and recycled materials that respect green values and our environment
