Furniture arrangement according to the rules

Each room plays its role. Whether it is a cozy one-room apartment on the outskirts, a strict office, a huge private house or a small souvenir shop.

Every place has its own atmosphere, character. Will the room be beautiful and comfortable enough? Will the furniture arrangement in the apartment be able to convey the spirit of the room? It depends on us.

We know: comfort is created by furniture. But, fixated on the things that should be in the room, we often forget to think about how they should be arranged. You should not make such a mistake, because the arrangement of furniture is the most important detail of the design of the room. If you want to make the most of the space provided, then you need to plan the arrangement of interior items.

Each room, even in an ordinary residential building, performs a certain function and requires an individual approach, based on the features of the room, the preferences of the people living there. Someone will find the location of the dining table in the hall wild. Another believes that it belongs there. After all, this is what the living room is for - to please the guests with meals and an excellent setting. This article will help you figure out where to put the dining table and how to create coziness.

How to Place Living Room Furniture

The living room is a place that should be comfortable not only for the owners of the house. First of all, you need to think about the convenience of the guests. One of the main rules for arranging furniture then becomes, firstly, the possibility of free movement. No, this does not mean that you should leave the living room almost empty, placing only a small stool there in case someone's legs get tired. This means that each piece of furniture should be placed so that people can easily pass by without touching or dropping anything. The living room should not feel musty, stuffy, overloaded. Large and tall objects interfere with the perception of this room. Such things should be avoided at all costs when drawing up a plan for arranging furniture in the room.

You also need to proceed from the dimensions of the proposed hall: if it is small, then the most advantageous option will be one in which the sofa, armchairs, coffee table and shelves are arranged asymmetrically, creating the illusion of a large space. If the room dimensions allow, then you can place the interior items in a circle or symmetrically.

Kitchen Geometry or How to Arrange Furniture to Reach the Refrigerator

It so happens that the kitchen in an apartment is often a very small room with a very complex function – cooking.

To distribute space as efficiently as possible, you can use the triangle principle.

1. Place the stove and sink a short distance from the wall.
2. Place a refrigerator opposite them.
3. You should have something like an isosceles triangle. This arrangement will allow the hostess to move freely around the kitchen, and will make the cooking process much easier.

It is better to separate the interior of the dining area from the interior of the work area, so that in a creative burst the great chef does not spill hot sauce on the household.

Sleep in comfort

The bedroom is a personal room. It needs subdued lighting, a soft bed, an interior that is necessary for sleep and rest. All the emphasis when creating a plan for the arrangement of furniture in this room is on the location of the bed.

• Place the head of the bed against the wall. This will create a feeling of security for the person sleeping in it.
• If you are dealing with a double bed, position it so that both sides are accessible. Otherwise, you can place it in a corner to save space.
• It is not recommended to place the bed opposite a door or mirror.

How to arrange furniture in a small room

It's not as difficult as it seems:

• First, keep it asymmetrical.
• Secondly, place large objects closer to the walls.
• Thirdly, try to give as much light to the room as possible, this will visually make it more spacious.
• Fourth, you can use furniture designed specifically for small spaces: bunk beds instead of two beds, built-in dishwashers, washing machines, stoves, pull-out cabinets, and more. Things like this make things much easier.
