Arrange furniture to give a quick makeover to your home

Even the most beautiful of spaces can look utterly unimpressive if the furniture is not arranged correctly. If you are longing to give your home a fresh look, re-arranging your furniture is the easiest way to give your home décor a new look without a spending a bomb.

So, how do you know it's time to rearrange? When you find less space to walk around your room, need to push aside chairs and tables or start facing trouble in locating everyday stuff in around the area, it's time to get serious about a furniture makeover.

Consider flexibility of movement

Besides arrangement of furniture, consider the traffic flow and the flexibility of movement of people when they enter and navigate to other areas. For e.g., if your room has several entrances and exits, make sure people can easily get in and out without awkwardly having to push around furniture.

Assess the situation beforehand

Is it uncomfortable to open your drawer in front of guests or do you topple over furniture to get to your closets? Try to arrange furniture to avoid such discomfort.

Use platform beds that do not block the view

Is your bed partially blocking your window view? A bed that peeks over a window looks odd and blocks light. Make it look better with bottom-up shades which will act as a backdrop and allow light to come in. If you're feeling ambitious, you can also go for a platform bed which is low enough to fit beneath the window trim. Also, to make it look chic and trendy, install an entire wall of colorful curtains as a fabric backdrop.

First furniture that you notice should be appealing

If a dull looking piece of furniture is the first thing you notice as you enter the room, replace it with something more catchy and welcoming. You may even go for reupholstering a worn out piece of furniture with some colorful fabric and give it an all together new look.

Replace Big Furniture with smaller versions

Big, oversized furniture can be conveniently replaced by smaller substitutes that occupy less space and serve the same purpose. This makes the house look less cluttered and the smaller versions can fit in multiple places, thus allowing you to rearrange your room without any hassles.
