Furniture arranging tips


Draw it out. Preparation is key in arranging your furniture. Planning will save you lots of muscle aches and pain from moving things around. A simple sketch can make all the difference!

Make room for traffic. Make sure you leave room around your furniture so you and your family can walk around with ease. In bedrooms, leave at least two feet between the side of your bed and the wall. You should leave at least three feet between your bed and the door. In your dining room, make sure there’s at least four feet between each edge of the table and the next closest object (wall or furniture). Something many people forget to do in the living room is to place a table within a comfortable reach of every seat, so people can place their drinks or food on something. Additionally, be sure to leave about one and a half feet of leg room between your couch and coffee table.

Find your focus. Figure out what you want the center or focus of your room to be. Is it your television? Fireplace? An accent table? Whatever you decide, arrange furniture around this item to highlight it.

Figure out the function. It is important to consider the room’s function when determining how to arrange your space. If your room is for entertaining, be sure to leave enough space to add in extra chairs or tables as needed. If you are arranging a cozy family room, put furniture closer together. This will create a more intimate feel.
