Arranging the Perfect Layout with Your Furniture
February 28, 2020
When you first walk into your new home and see the empty rooms, you probably fall into one of two categories: you’re either giddy with the possibilities, or you’re overwhelmed by all the empty space. Whether you are moving in soon or just looking to rearrange, read on for tips on how to find the perfect layout for your space.
Outlets
Before moving in or rearranging, notice where the outlets in the room are. Unless you’re up for hiding extension cords are doing some remodeling, there are a finite number of ways you can arrange a room that has large electronic devices. Make this less exciting, logistical consideration one of the first you make when considering the layout of a room.
Traffic Flow
No matter the design you settle on, you’ll want to walk from room to room and consider the traffic patterns that naturally emerge. Nothing should impede the paths you’ll be taking most frequently or force people to shuffle past one another. Clear the way so movement doesn’t feel forced.
Create Gathering Space
One of the most important purposes of the home is to be a space where families can come together, so think of that purpose first when it’s time to rearrange or design your layout. Arrange seats so they’re facing one another and consider comfort. In living rooms especially, you want people to gravitate toward the space and spend time there. Arrange furniture accordingly.
Avoid the Walls
Pushing furniture up against the wall is a quick way to make a space feel sterile, underutilized, and strangely, even smaller than it actually is. Instead, give the furniture a bit of space between itself and the walls. Create those conversation spaces away from the edges of the room, and you’ll automatically notice the area feeling more inviting.
If you’re moving soon, you’ve probably spent time dreaming up the layout of your new space, but before you make that decision, you have a more important one to make! Hiring the right movers is imperative to ensuring your move goes smoothly, so call Beltmann for your free quote and start your moving process off right.
