Furniture Placement

You have got the house of dreams, surrounded with blooming plants and blossoming flowers. Everything, right from the electrical fittings to the plumbing works, has been taken care of. Now, only one thing is left to be - doing the interiors of the house, while basically involves arranging furniture and fittings. Right interior designing of a house can add to its beauty, while improper furniture placement can definitely bring down its splendor. The good part is that just by following a few basic tips, you can ensure that the furniture placement of your house is nothing but the best. To help you in placing furniture in your house, we have provided a number of ideas in the lines below.

 

 

One of the basic things that you need to keep in mind while placing furniture is that you have to create balance. Stuffing one room with too much furniture and keeping the other sparsely populated will create an impression of imbalance in the house. At the same time, make sure that even in one room, furniture is not cluttered at a particular place only, leaving the rest of the place almost deserted.

 

The next factor that needs to be kept under consideration in furniture placement relates to symmetry. Before arranging a room, it is necessary to have a basic design in your mind, so it doesn’t look as if the furniture has just been dumped inside. For example, you can have a design like an armchair to the left of the fireplace and another one to its right, so symmetry is maintained.

 

Always keep in mind the frequency of the usage of a particular item, while placing it in the room. The most frequently used items should be placed in such a way that they are easily accessible. For instance - in the kitchen, the best place for cutlery cupboard is near the cooking range. Likewise, you can follow the rule in case of placing items like sofa, fireplace and TV, in the living room.

 

While placing the furniture, stand back and analyze what kind of an impression does it create and whether the impression it gives is really the one that you want it to exude. For instance - chairs that are placed with their backs to the door will never ever look inviting to the guests. The same way, angled groups of furniture impart an impression of coziness and warmth.

 

While designing a room, going with the flow is one of the basic keywords. If you feel that something is looking out of the place, remove it immediately, without giving it a second thought. At the same time, always make sure that you are leaving enough space between the furniture items, for the people to move around comfortably, without banging into things.
