Small furniture placement tips

A general house renovation can include a new layout of the spaces according to the modern lifestyle. The new layout leads to the need to place furniture in different positions from the previous ones to ensure the good functionality of the premises.

Placement of furniture in a room is a difficult task because it requires complex thoughts and actions to ensure a pleasant living within it. Since space is empty from furniture try to imagine it with furniture in appropriate places.

First you should decide what the central element of the space will be and what determines it. It can be anything from a fireplace to a piece of furniture or a work of art. Placement of furniture should highlight this element, for example, the sofas and the armchairs of the living room should be framed by a fireplace.

Start furnishing every room with the largest furniture first. For the living room area, it can be the sofa, for the bedroom the bed etc. Before selecting its location, study the traffic in the space considering the inner door, the balcony door and the window, the activity of the room with the rest of the house. Be careful not to hinder the movement, the passage and any view through the outer openings.

Then consider placing the smaller furniture and linking it to the larger one, for example the cupboards and bedside tables. Be sure not to hinder this movement within the space.

The furniture should be slightly spaced from the walls in order to give a sense of space all around the area. The waist and the side tables should be spaced apart from the sofas and armchairs not too small to give space, but not too large to be used to rest on the seating cup or other objects. In addition, consider whether the distance between the couch and the waist table should allow passage.

Combine furniture of different sizes and height to give interest in space and avoid monotony.

Think about the scale and proportion of furniture and how they fit into the scale of the space in which you want to place them. A very small table next to a massive sofa looks very small, a tiny painting is not looking nice on a big wall, and a great work of art "overflows" on a small wall.

Choose the size of the carpets in the room. A very small carpet creates the feeling that space is small and looks very awkward. For a sense of comfort and spaciousness, you should choose carpets that stretch under the furniture. You can also think of not placing a carpet, especially during the summer period, so as the space will look wider and the floor will make you feel you are closer to earth, just by touching it.

Take care of the pieces of artwork and their place on the walls. You can choose a painting or some smaller ones in a harmonic composition. Hang them so that their center of composition is at the height of the eye of a standing observer. You can also make your own painting, using a simple canvas and create your own exhibition corner.

The right placement of the furniture is complemented by the choice of the appropriate position and the type of lighting. In addition to the wall lamps of the room, consider local lighting of any kind, such as designing decorative elements, like paintings, antiques, creating DIY table lamps for reading, handheld, or place hidden lighting in order to create a great atmosphere.

With the right choice and placement of furniture in the rooms will be used the renovation of the house, as it will offer a new dimension in the space.
