Don't pay too much attention to:

    * Windows, floors, wall material, and other architectural features
    * Color — it's easy to change color combinations
    * Layout and arrangement — also easy to change

That's a monumental challenge for me. I vote basically based on what my first impression is, and these items inevitably have a play into that.

But I suppose if I were actually looking to redecorate, I would put more thought into my votes.
