Whether you’ve just bought a great new couch or are tired of the same old, same old, we’ve got some great tips that will help you figure out how to re-arrange your furniture.
Get Focused
Every room has a focal point. The key to the proper layout is to find this point and position the furniture around it. Of course, you might have a room with multiple focal points. If that’s the case, experiment with the layout until you find the most natural flow.
The owners of this open and airy living room used a bright yellow couch to infuse color and personality into their room, making it a natural focal point.
Symmetry is Key
If your furniture is out of balance, your room will be out of balance. Placing sofas and chairs in a classic face-to-face stance is a classic arrangement that looks good in almost any room.
This wide open room is dominated by beautiful wall-to-wall windows. By creating a clear path to the French doors, the owners naturally divided the room into two functional spaces.


I like the yellow couch example. It really stands out in that room and makes it pop.
