Most new homeowners, when presented with a new room, are overwhelmed with potential outcomes and insecurities of furniture arrangement as it is a demanding and confounding task. They may remain in the center of the room, shake their heads and wonder where on the earth to start from. Despite the fact that we can’t tell every one of you where you should put what kind of furniture, we can give you some general questions which will assist you with deciding about how you will utilize your space and some broad rules for organizing your furniture.

So here are a few questions that every new or confused homeowner asks himself before any furniture arrangement.

Use Your Space

• Take a good look at the passages to the room. Do you have entryways? Do they open in or out? In the event that they open in, you should make space for those to open completely. 
• Do you utilize the room as a pathway to another room? Is the room a destination room? In other words, is the room one that individuals go to or the one to go through? In the event that they go through, you need an easily navigatable pathway from one room to the next. 
• How would you like to feel in the room? Do you need it to be comfortable and intimate? Do you need an open and spacious feel? Furniture in a comfortable room will, in general, be placed in closer proximity to each other. Whereas if you want an open feel then it needs more space between furniture pieces. 
• It is safe to say that you are going to use the space or room for entertainment? Provided that this is true, you need adaptability in your furniture decisions. Additional seating might be placed out of the way and be moved into use when an occasion comes.

Furniture placement guidelines

• Between the couch and side seats, architects typically recommend 48 to 100 inches of free space. Yet, you ought to change the space as indicated by your family’s needs. If you feel good with the seats closer or if you are better ready to engage in discussions, then you can draw them nearer. 
• In the event that you are using a coffee table or an ottoman in front of the couch. The normal position is 14 to 18 inches from the couch. Be that as it may, once more, on the off chance that you have short arms or long legs, alter the table until you are satisfied with it. 
• For TV viewing, the typical rule is to put the TV at times the distance of the size of the screen. But with some of the new big-screen TVs, three times the size of the screen is not appropriate. 
• Three feet of room is suggested for traffic paths between the rooms. Be that as it may, on the off chance that you have large family members or a lot of kids. We would suggest allowing an additional foot for security for your furnishings and people. 
• In the lounge area, a normal grown-up needs a depth of 20 inches for a dining room chair. In addition to 16 inches of space to creep the chair back from the table. Again, make adjustments to the needs of your family. 
• At the dining table, you ought to allow 24 inches for each individual or more. In the event that your family likes to gesture and move around while eating, permit another 6-8 inches of space. 
• To serve your visitors and guests, allow 46 inches between the wall and the eating place. 
• For perfect bed positioning, allow at least 24 inches between the bed and the wall to get out of the bed with ease and allow 36 inches between the end of the bed and the bedroom or washroom door.

These are some broad and rough guidelines about furniture arrangement and should be adjusted for your family according to requirements. Remember that in the event that you are entertaining visitors, your placement will require further modifications for their comfort and ease of movement.
