Make your apartment a great place to be through furniture arrangements!
Arranging furniture in your apartment can be exciting whether you are moving into your first one or want to change things up after being there for five years. These tips for arranging furniture in an apartment will help you create a magazine-worthy living space in every room.
Think Purpose
While there are traditional layouts for living rooms, offices, and the like, the first goal you want to have for your design is to have it fulfill its purpose. For example, the living room might double as the TV room. If you prioritize socializing with guests over watching television, then your furniture arrangement might show that priority.
Create Good Traffic Flow
You must be able to move from one room and area to the next without constantly bumping into furniture or feeling like you are interrupting people by walking through it. Here, it takes a lot of common sense and trial and error to test which arrangement works best for you.
Create Zones with Rugs
If your furniture feels like it is floating in the room and your bed or seating area feels too public beside the traffic pathways in the room, you can create the impression of privacy with the help of an area rug. Just changing the color and pattern of the flooring in a specific zone changes everything.
Don’t Limit Yourself to the Walls
It’s common to feel like you have to push all your furniture against the walls. The truth is that you don’t have to, and bringing your furniture in a bit can make it feel much cozier and look a lot more photo-worthy.
Create Balance
Colors, shapes, and textures–just a few of the elements of design–need to balance each other out in each room to create a unified look. An example would be balancing a yellow wall clock with a yellow lamp on a side table on the opposite side.
Don’t Overcrowd Your Rooms
Keep the furniture’s size proportionate to the room’s size. You don’t want large, heavy furniture in a shoebox room. You also don’t want to crowd the room with so much furniture that it’s impossible to move around or begins to feel claustrophobic.
