Room layout is one of the most important elements of good interior design we often work hard to perfect it when working on designs. This not only affects the appearance of the room, but also the style and practicality and convenience in daily use. But finding the right layout can be difficult, especially if you have a complex shape or size to work with. So, how can you design an arrangement that suits you and your lifestyle and makes the most of the space you have? Here are some best tips.
KEEP FUNCTION IN MIND
The function of a room is the most important factor when planning a layout, so before you start introducing furniture it is worth taking time to list all the activities you need to accommodate lounging, eating, entertaining, working and sleeping. When you have a clear idea of this you can start working out how to incorporate everything you need into the space you have and identify any essentials that are lacking. This is particularly important in large, open-plan areas, which work best when broken up into defined ‘zones’, but even smaller rooms are likely to have multiple functions to fulfil. A living room, for example, is used for watching TV, entertaining and general relaxation. Therefore arranged the sofas so that the TV is easily visible from both of them and positioned the seating so that it faces inwards and encourages conversation. A window is also a great place to read, enjoy a morning coffee and watch the world go by.
THINK ABOUT YOUR FOCUS AREAS
It is also a good idea to think about what you want the project to be. This can be anything, a set of patio doors, a window with a beautiful view and in large rooms there will be more than one. It is common sense that the furniture should be the subject not the reason but the early identification allows you to organize around and ensure that you show the best assets of your home. If there is no place for your desired location. There are many ways to do it a gallery wall, a beautiful sideboard or console table, a floor, a wall with a different color or texture and even a beautiful mirror.
REMEMBER THE IMPORTANCE OF EMPTY SPACE
If you are left with large spaces or empty corners, think of ways to use them, maybe a study corner, a planter, extra storage. However, you do not need to fill the last square inch of the room, the most successful arrangements are to include parts of the negative space, the included parts can “sing” and prevent the design from strength. You should also remember to leave room to open doors, wardrobes and cupboards, and extend roller blinds and sofa beds.
