Know Your Rooms

 

The first thing you need to do is assess the spaces that you’ll be working with — pay attention to where outlets, internet, and cables are located, because this can alter the layout dramatically. Once you know the space, you can get started!

 

Empty The Room

 

Moving in and unpacking your new home has a tendency to collect random boxes and clutter, so it’s important to start fresh and clear out the entire room. This helps you see what you have to work with and better evaluate where the furniture will go.

 

Understand Purpose

 

It’s important to have an idea what the room will be used for. Of course, we know the purpose of a bedroom and kitchen, but think how they will actually be used. Do you need a kid-friendly kitchen? Arrange the furniture in such a way that there are no sharp corners or accidents waiting to happen in the high-traffic areas. Each room has unique needs, so it’s important to understand what those are and arrange your furniture accordingly.

 

Set Up The Flow

 

Does your home have a multi-purpose room? Perhaps the living area flows into the dining room and kitchen. If you have these rooms, it’s important to arrange to make the best of both spaces. Incorporate bookshelves, rugs, and even room dividers to create different areas but not disrupt the flow.

 

Address Major Focal Points

 

There are major focal points such as windows, doors, and closets that affect the way furniture can be arranged, so it’s not only important to figure that in as it is to know the size and length of your furniture.

 

You may have a gorgeous antique solid oak table, but it may be too low and too long to put in the room comfortably. You have to work around these unmoving focal points, which may take some creativity and moving your furniture around in a variety of ways before deciding on one that makes sense.  

 

Before Committing

 

Before committing to a furniture arrangement consider a couple of things:

 

  • Know the flow of the room
  • Arrange the furniture before you hang things on the wall
  • Place major furniture first and then the accessories such as end tables
  • Leave ample room for doors and drawers to be opened

 

Arranging your new home can be painless and stress-free when you follow a few simple guidelines.
