Tips to Flawlessly Organize your Furniture



Are you moving into a new apartment or trying to re-organize your floor space? I know that it is a herculean task to undertake, and it seriously needs a sensible approach with proper planning. Optimal placing of the components in discussion is crucial and it depends on a lot of factors like size of the room, size of the furniture and the layout of the floor space. There are ways to go over this whole process and it requires meticulous involvement and a desire to attain perfection, only then your home would reflect your style, character and taste in its rawest essence. I moved into my new flats in Tambaram, Chennai recently and this is what I have figured out on how to augment the living space with optimized and smart furniture placement. 

Identifying the focal point of space:

Once you are ready to get involved in the process of organizing, you need to have a certain kind of clarity on what to do with the space you got. The first and foremost aspect under this whole changeover should be to identify a focal point.

Focal point could be anything that you want to stand out distinctively in your home. It could be your fireplace, or your entertainment unit, or it could even be your cosy beige couch with a window view inviting you to jump in and unwind. Find that out and place all your furniture facing that specific focal point.

Clearing the clutter out:

Clutter is messy and messy is not at all fun. A messy room easily attracts frowned eyes towards the subject as though it is a mermaid resting under a tree. Unorganized paper stacks, broken toys, insignificant pictures adorned in a frame and books that you would never touch are all useless clutter. It is time to throw them all way as soon as possible. If there is a personal attachment to something that could pass as a clutter, it is better to have it locked in a keepsake box, safe and out of view.

Space to stroll around:

You cannot call it your own space if you are not able to enjoy a leisurely stroll right inside your home. You should be able to read a book or take a sip of your favourite beverage while meandering around your own living space without hitting a furniture leg and hurting yourself. If not, your space needs some kind of a re-arrangement.

Be mindful and conscious about what you place in the space that you have. Do not overdo it and use what you really need. You can fulfil your comfort, utility and storage needs; but nothing more than that. Do not compromise your precious space for something that doesn’t deserve to be there.

DO NOT fill up the perimeter:

Another red flag is to fill the perimeter of your room with furniture. Doing this would make the space look stagnant and dull. Anyhow, stacking up all your furniture in the centre of your room would again look un-cool. Place your largest couch in the centre and spread all the armchairs, bean bags and foot chairs around it. Balance the space and furniture around the layout and scatter them around.

A playful kitchen is a blessing:

If you are a freak who loves entertainment even in a kitchen, then it is better to invest in a mobile workstation. Try to sneak some furniture into your kitchen space for minimal seating purposes. This way you can indulge in a deep and profound conversation with someone while you prepare a delightful dinner for later. Find stools that can be accommodated under your counter space.

Perfect dining involves sensible placement:

One thing that you should know is that the dining setup should take up the space in the centre of the room. Bring in a sideboard or a chest of drawers along the wall to store all your cutlery, linens and flatware. Light up the dining space with ambient lighting to treat yourself the way you deserve every single day.

Keeping it real:

If you have a bay window like I have in my new flats for sale in Tambaram, then it is advisable to place your cosy bed right next to it. Identify the practical elements that you need in your bedroom. Find a bedside table, dresser with a mirror and a chair that blends with the wall colours. Throw pillows and artsy portraits in the wall are fantabulous add-ons.


Before doing all this, it is very important to measure the space you have in hand before you purchase your furniture. Keep in mind that you need plenty of space to stroll around comfortably.
