Rightly placing the furniture units makes a huge difference in appearance of the room. There might be various units of varied dimensions that need to be occupied in the room. So you need to consider the space available and the maximum units that can fit in. Finding other areas to fit in rest of the objects is the best idea instead of dumping all of them in the same space. Let's get to know more about some basics of room furniture layout.
Arranging Furniture in the Living Room
The living room is the primary area of a house, which is why it is essential to arrange the living room furniture in the best possible way. Firstly, you need a proper conversation area. Creating a 'U' or say a 'C' shaped sitting area is the best idea. Many go for an 'L' shaped area with is much inconvenient. For this you can either have a 'C' shaped sofa to fill up a spacious area. Complement it with a set of same colored throw pillows and rug. You can also go for an 'L' shaped sofa and get a set of 2 - 3 chairs that can be placed together.
The accent piece or the focal point of the room could be the entertainment center, a fireplace mantel or the bay window. So place the sofas and other seating units facing this focal point. Next important point is to keep the entrance free, do not place any furniture right at the entrance. Placing the largest piece of furniture first and then playing with rest of the pieces is an easier way of deciding the layout. You could also place the entertainment center first and then arrange rest of the pieces. For the living room, coordinating the colors of curtains or blinds, rugs, carpet runners, pillows and rest of the furnishing with each other and with the wall paint colors as well is important.
Arranging Furniture in the Bedroom
Well, a bedroom is the most favorite area of the person whom it belongs to. It's like 'my space' for this person, so first decide what all 'you' need to have here. You need to decide how you wish to arrange the bed, wardrobe, dressing table and the bedside tables. According to the above mentioned rule, firstly decide the placement of bed. You can place this facing the large window instead of placing it against it, as many do! While you rest you will have a beautiful view from this window. You can either place this touching the wall and add a stylish headboard or place it in the center of the room. This is a classic idea to opt for, in case of a large bedroom.
Next, place night stands besides the bed to balance the look. You can place the wardrobe behind the bed in case it's in the center. While placing the dressing table, make sure that enough area is free in front of it. Also, make sure that the furniture is arranged in such a way that there is enough room for at least two people to dress up comfortably. You can also add cabinets, floating wall shelves, a table and chair if space permits. One of the modern bedroom furniture plans is to complement the furniture units with a lot of elegant and textured pillows and ultimate bedding along with rugs, curtains, valences and have a grand looking area.
Furniture layout is an important part of interior decorating. Make sure you get in good quality furniture and that in decent colors to match rest of the home decor. Adding lovely accessories to the room will give a finishing touch to the rooms.
