Living Room Layouts
The living room is the heart of the home. A good layout promotes conversation, comfort, and easy movement. The key is to identify your focal point (like a fireplace or TV) and arrange seating to facilitate both social gatherings and relaxation.
The Media-Focused
Arrange seating in an L-shape or U-shape around the television. Ensure the main sofa is directly facing the screen for optimal viewing, with accent chairs angled inward.
The Open-Concept
In a large, open room, use a large area rug to define the living space. "Float" your furniture away from the walls to create an intimate and designated seating area.
Bedroom Layouts
A bedroom should be a peaceful sanctuary. The layout should prioritize rest and tranquility. The bed is always the focal point, and its placement will determine the flow of the rest of the room.
The Classic
Place the bed against the center of the main wall (the one you see when you first walk in). Flank it with two nightstands for symmetry and balance. This creates a clear focal point.
The Window View
If you have a large window with a great view, place the bed facing it to wake up to natural light. Alternatively, place the bed underneath the window if the headboard is low.
The Small Space Solution
In a small room, push the bed into a corner. This opens up the maximum amount of floor space. Use a single nightstand and consider wall-mounted lighting to save surface area.
