How to Arrange Furniture When Moving to Your New Home

Bought or rented a new house, you and your family members are equally excited about moving into the new sweet home. As moving in date approaches your excitement flies away, leaving you with the big bold question; how do I arrange furniture in the new home?

There is rarely anything more puzzling than planning and arranging furniture before moving into a new home. The joy and excitement of moving into a new place fade away by the confusion and guessing game of furniture arrangement. If you plan it wrong the arrangement with the most beautiful furniture sets might look super bizarre. Even the experienced ones are left scratching their heads doing the furniture arrangement.

It has to be very well-planned and well-articulated before you proceed to the furniture arrangement process. With advance planning, this challenging task could become very easy for you, even if you do not have any earlier experience.

Access the Space

Before the arrangement, the first step is to have a careful tour around the space and analyze available space in the rooms.

Try to measure and write down the space and plan inside your head how many pieces of furniture each room would have.

Develop a Floor Plan

Now that you have the measurements of your room, try to develop a floor plan. Floor plan is the next step of space measurement and you just need to put all the available space data into action.

There are also a few very good floor planning 3-Dapps in the app store which are very easy to use. Although there are some criticisms, it gets the job done fairly easily.

Determine How Each Room Would be Used

Each room has a different use in your home and for that, the requirements of furniture set up are different as well.

For example, bed room’s furniture would be different from the guest room or dining room. So you have to pragmatically pre-set the room's usage beforehand.

Clear the Rooms

Before you proceed try to keep the rooms empty and not have any unplanned furniture or boxes in them that hampers the plan or arrangement.

Measure Your Furniture

If you have plans to purchase furniture then cautiously examine the room space and buy furniture in perfect measurements that fit the floor plan.

If you have already purchased the furniture or have old furniture, you measure the furniture and plan to fit in according to the room space, previously measured.

The dimension of the furniture and fitting it within the space is the heart of all the processes and if this goes sideways the entire work goes downhill.

Draw a Traffic Pattern

Residents' movement in and in between the rooms is a very important thing to consider before placing the furniture. If not planned, furniture placement could block the pathways.

So carefully draw how the movement would take place in between rooms and keep enough space for this

Use Online 3D Tools

There are a lot of free online tools if drawing, measuring seem complicated to you. You can findapps or software on the internet and play store which could be used for seamless planning and augmented positioning of your furniture.

Use Moving and Felt Pads for Moving and Placing Furniture

Try using moving or felt furniture pads for easily moving the furniture without scratches and damages in furniture or on your floor.

Place the Furniture Away From the Walls

When placing the furniture do not place it touching the wall or right adjacent to the wall.

Keep a small distance so that your wall’s color stays intact and as well the arrangement looks good.

Make your space easy to navigate

You must not forget placing the furniture is not the ultimate goal here. It has to look good and as well as stay convenient for the residents to move easily across the rooms.

There has to be enough space in the middle and doors, windows and drawers must not be blocked after the placement of this furniture.

Add Decorative Materials

After furnishing the whole space with big furniture you can proceed with adding small decorations, rugs in the rooms. This final design touch may not trouble you that much like the furniture setup but would offer add-on beautythat would soothe your eyes.

Moving into a new home is equally exciting and strenuous work, if done properly the reward comforts the eyes and the mind. Even though it seems troublesome and a big responsibility beforehand, with proper planning and execution things get simpler and easier eventually.

So plan ahead, get these ideas to work, cut down the trouble and enjoy your new home with proper arrangement.
