How to Rearrange a Room

Redecorating your home can involve new furniture in a room or a rearrangement of your existing furniture for a new look. Before you rearrange anything, have a plan that includes your goal for the room, such as adding a reading nook to a bedroom, and which pieces of furniture you want to fit in the room. To get the proper flow of a room, keep in mind traffic and how people can easily move around the furniture in the room. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

1

Arrange the furniture around a focal point in the room, such as a TV or a fireplace.

Place your large furniture, such as a couch, in the room first, followed by the furniture that supports the large furniture, such as lounge chairs and a coffee table. A dining table in the dining room is the large furniture, while the dining chairs and side table are support furniture for the table. In the bedroom, the bed is the large furniture, a nightstand and dresser the support pieces.

Partition your room into useable spaces, such as a reading corner or a game nook, with your arrangement of furniture.
