Furniture Placements that you should Take Note of!

Arranging furniture can be a challenging task. When facing an empty room, it looks like a lot of work to do and a lot of thinking to make to fill the room in a seemingly beautiful way. However, interior designers today have recognized some simple and applicable principles and steps on how to arrange the furniture. Only by following these common-sense rules can you know that your room is good to look at.

1.    Choose a focal point

Don’t underestimate the power of the room’s focus. If it includes eye-catching windows and fireplaces or you may need to make your own, such as media equipment or a TV. No matter what focus you choose, make a decision and stick to it. It is recommended to place as much furniture as possible.               When decorating the living room furniture, start with the largest part first. This is usually a sofa and sometimes even a chair. Televisions, fireplaces, gallery walls, and windows guide the artwork to the most eye-catching location in the room. If possible, avoid putting the sofa in front of the window. Some natural light may be blocked. Next, place some small seats, such as chairs and love chairs, on the opposite side of or near the focal point. Finally, place key furniture such as footstools, coffee tables and lamps. Make sure that each seat is out of the reach of the desk.

2.    Don’t push furniture to the wall

The size of the room determines how much furniture can be pulled out of the wall, but even in a narrow space, the back of the furniture and the wall can be pulled out. It is generally believed that this small space can actually make the room feel larger. Of course, if you have a lot of space, place the furniture nearer to each other to form a chat area in the center of the room, and there should be a few feet between the wall and the furniture.               Therefore, flipping all the furniture on the wall is not the best way to place it. If you do so, this will form an awkward space in the center and highlight the narrow space of the room. Instead, pull the furniture in the middle to give people a more open feeling.

3.    Maintain balance when placing furniture

It is always important to balance furniture. Consider all sizes and positions of various furniture, so that furniture of the same sizes are not classified in one area or one side of a room. Also, check if there are multiple forms. For example, if you have a straight seat, consider using a round coffee table.               Symmetry gives a sense of order in the living room. Try to place the same sofa or chair facing each other to achieve an attractive balance. Even if the furniture does not match exactly, you can provide a symmetrical appearance by placing the furniture on both sides in equal proportions.

4.    Create dialog area

People will be able to talk to each other naturally without having to look up or yell in the entire room. Place the sofa and chair opposite each other (it does not have to be straight, put them nearby) so that they are close enough to converse. If the room is too large, create multiple dialogue areas.               Living room is often used for chatting with family and friends, so choose a furniture layout that is convenient for conversation. Pull the seat closer to the center of the room and face it.

5.    Have a coffee table that is as high as your chairs

All seats can easily enter the side table or coffee table. Avoid layouts that force you to leave the drink seat and take it out. As for the height of the table, its height should be the same as the arm height of the chair near the table (if this is not possible, the lower the better). Its height should be equal to or lower than the height of the chair/sofa.

6.    Consider traffic flow

When placing furniture in any room, one of the most important things to consider is the transportation process. People will trip over furniture to cross the room, don’t stagger each other. Make sure there are a few feet (a few inches) between the coffee table and the sofa and between the chairs. Create an unobstructed path for people to walk from one end of the room to the other.               To plan the ideal furniture placement, you need to check the room carefully. When placing items, pay attention to the way the traffic flows through the room and where the focal point is.
