\nPositioning your furniture is one of the most daunting, yet most important, design decisions. These three common scenarios will teach you the basics.
\n
\n\t\t
\nLiving Room<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u201a\u00acFind a focal point. The focal point should be anchored to a wall. Place chairs no more than 8 feet apart to encourage conversation.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u201a\u00acPosition a table within reach of every seating piece.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u201a\u00acAllow ample legroom by placing the coffee table 14 to 18 inches from the sofa.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u201a\u00acChoose side tables that are about as tall as the arm of the chair or sofa they are serving.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u201a\u00acCreate traffic lanes that are several feet wide to allow easy movement through the room.<\/p>\n
Multipurpose Room<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u201a\u00acGive each area in a multipurpose room a dominant feature. For instance, focus your dining area on a large hutch or your sitting area on an entertainment unit.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u201a\u00acCreate a natural divide using furniture placement. Aim for harmony by balancing two or more smaller items against a large one. Use area rugs to define each grouping.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u201a\u00acAllow at least 3 feet of space around the dining table to leave room for comfortable sitting as well as a wide aisle for traffic flow.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u201a\u00acClear the entry of furniture and direct traffic toward the dining and sitting areas.<\/p>\n
Bedroom<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u201a\u00acAngle furniture to give your room drama. Anchor the space with an area rug or small runner placed on the same angle to emphasize the diagonal.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u201a\u00acPair side tables at each side of the bed to create balance. \u00e2\u201a\u00acCreate traffic options in tight quarters with diagonal furniture placement.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u201a\u00acPlay up the bed as a focal point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
