Tired of bumping your knees on the coffee table? Or maybe you’re just bored with your room? Here’s how you can arrange your new living room furniture from Royal Heritage Home Furnishings® without spending countless hours moving furniture pieces around like a giant puzzle.
Follow these steps to find the living room layout you want while also saving your back.
- Get a piece of paper and draw a layout of your living room to scale. Include all doors, windows, outlets, radiators, and air vents.
- Design and cut out miniatures of your items, again to scale. Make sure all the pieces are labeled.
- Locate a focal point in the room. All your furniture pieces will revolve around this point. It can sometimes be a entertainment center, coffee table, artwork, fireplace, or even a mantle. Draw this focal point on the paper where it exists in the room.
- Move your cut out furniture pieces around on the paper to experiment with different layouts. Make sure your seating areas face each other and don’t block the focal point. You want to encourage socializing. Place sofas and chairs at right angles around the focal point.
- Find a coffee table or trunk to place in the center of your seating arrangement for drinks or board games. This can also be used as a display area to place reading materials or pictures.
- Leave spaces in the corners between the seating for end tables or lamps. If you have an extra chair that fits this seating group, you can widen the arrangement and place the chair diagonally into the corner.
- Finally, fill in any open places with smaller furnishings and accessories.
