Tips and Trick
Take note of the focal point
One of the first things to take note of when you are arranging your furniture is to look for a focal point. What can this focal point do? This will serve as the center of attention in your house, e.g., an area in your living room. So this is where you would want to arrange most of the furniture pieces that bring color and life to the house. You can also add other elements such as plants, media, tv, and other decors.
Find an Arrangement Balance
You need to find balance even in arranging your furniture at home because if you don’t, you will end up putting together the ones that don’t even match well in terms of size and shape. Avoid placing all the large furniture pieces together in one area. Find a balance and group your furniture in various sizes and shapes.
Avoid Placing Furniture Against the Wall
Oftentimes, we are probably guilty of placing our furniture too close to the wall. But that should be avoided. Whether you have a big space or a small space at home, you still need to allow for some breathing room for your furniture pieces. Leave at least more than two feet away between your furniture and the wall itself. By doing this, you can actually make the room or area feel bigger and more spacious.
Consider Furniture Positions
You need to consider the position of your furniture. Keep in mind that how they will be used to function depends on where you will decide to place them. For example, if you arrange your sofas or your chairs facing one another, it will actually help strike a conversation for the people who are sitting on them. You don’t have to place them too close to another though. You just have to fairly place them in such a way that the people who are talking will be able to hear each other.
Find Proper Distance
The distance between one piece of furniture and another is important. You wouldn’t want to trip onto one after the other while walking around your house, right? So make sure that the dining table is not too close to the shelf or the sofa too close to the coffee table. Allow for a clear pathway where you can walk through without having to bump into the furniture. It’s also not good to look at aesthetically when the furniture pieces are too close to one another. We hope that this article has been helpful to you as you start to arrange your furniture at home.
