In all my years as an interior decorator, I am asked more questions about furniture arranging than anything else. So here are a few suggestions you might consider when facing the “furniture placement dilemma”!
1. Place large furniture pieces first. It’s definitely a mistake to start with your smaller pieces. I guarantee your frustration level will definitely increase if you try to start the process with small tables and accent pieces.
2. In rooms with vaulted ceilings, you might want to place your largest furniture pieces close to the highest wall. Furnishings such as oversized entertainment armoire immediately come to mind. Can you visualize a large entertainment center placed on a small wall opposite a high wall in a vaulted ceiling room? Balance and symmetry would immediately fly out the window!
3. Try angling your furniture. When your furniture pieces – chairs, sofas, love seats are all lined up flat against a wall, you lose the opportunity to create interesting conversation groupings, let alone the fact that this room now resembles an office waiting area!
4. When selecting furniture to be placed in smaller rooms follow these rules of thumb:
- Pieces with rounded corners will work best
- Don’t select large or oversized pieces
- Try to find case good pieces that are tall and shallow to give your small
space more height - Open shelving styles will help your space seem more expansive
- Opt for a more tailored look in upholstered furniture pieces
