Room Design and Decorating Tips
Having trouble deciding what size furniture to buy for your living room? Sofa and loveseat or a sectional, one chair or two, and then there are occasional tables!
Size and Layout
Of course you need to evaluate your needs first, but here are some pointers:
- Don't forget to make sure the pieces will actually fit in the space. Try outlining the dimensions of the furniture on the floor with blue painter's tape. If you measure accurately, you'll avoid buying anything that won't fit in your room.
- After you know the layout of the furniture, make sure that any larger pieces have a clear path into the room. They need to fit through the doorways and be able to turn any corners or maneuver any staircases.
- Also, think about scale. Don't overpower a small space or under fill a great room.
Your salesperson can help you work through all of this. An interior designer can also be of assistance with these projects. Don't feel like you have to figure it out all on your own!
