Ho Janie, google the design style you like and pull together a little portfolio
Pinterest and Houzz have great ideas.
Hire a space planner or interior designer. If you do not give the contractor specific, detailed and clear instructions, it will take forever and cost more in the long run. You need to know exactly what you want and where things, like walls, need to be placed to maximize your space.
YOu should visit Pinterest and search for the things you like. You will find all kinds of ideas there.
It is sometimes easy to forget that 'open floor plan' often = fewer walls = fewer electrical power outlets = more frustration with extension cords.
I would encourage you to have additional electrical outlets, and charging outlets installed into the floor before the unit is completely finished.
