Arranging Your Furniture

Have you ever felt that you are lousy when it comes to arranging the furniture in your home? That maybe you aren't feeling the flow, but you aren't quite sure where to even begin?

Try and look at your room in your mind on this diagram.

Divide your room mentally in your head. When you have it divided into four's, you can see the scale of the room in regards to weight.

If the majority of your furniture is in one corner of the square, think about how much weight is shifted on the one side. How can you get that nice flowing feeling when all the weight is on one side of the room?

Try arranging it so you fill up all the squares evenly with your main pieces. Try and have 36" of walking space around everything. Anything less will feel too tight and not flow smoothly.

Change is good, so why not try arranging your furniture on an angle away from the wall?

Have fun with this, move your entire room around until you feel good in your own space, this helps people who cannot visualize this in their own mind.
