　　You should say:

　　where it would be ①

　　what type of house it would be ②

　　how you would decorate it ③

　　and explain what why you would like to live in this kind of home. ④

　　① Speaking of the ideal home that I would like to live in... Err... It must be in suburban area, far away from the noise, hustle & bustle of the outside world.

　�、� Flat, Terraced, Detached or Semi-detached, whatever type of house it would be as I don't really care. It must be spacious & bright, this is what I focus on. I hate being in a dark cramped room with a low ceiling, I will be hyperventilating.

　�、� I would love to decorate my house lovingly, as well as causal. I'd like to put lots of posters into a picture frame to hang on a wall, and I'd also like to put some hooks up and lay musical instruments across the hooks.

　�、� It'd be quiet, comfortable and private, like a cozy heaven. The blue walls make me think of the calming vast seas that relax me. The base boards and shutters are white which remind me of the pure white clouds in the sky. The white in my room helps me to have pure and clean thoughts. Soft muted colours of the walls and bright colors of the accents make me feel creative and safe. To live in such an ideal house, I feel totally relaxed.
