A considered approach
How to brief a hotel lighting project
Include annotated reference images rather than a mood board alone: say whether you like the light effect, the finish or the fitting itself. List the areas in scope and identify interfaces with controls, emergency lighting and electrical design. If the budget is provisional, state a range and the priorities to protect. A room matrix is particularly useful when the same detail repeats across many bedrooms.
