How to Arrange Furniture

Video Transcript

"So you definitely have to think about the functionality of the room and, and what's going to work. You can place the furniture the way that you think it looks great. But if it doesn't serve the intended function of the furniture and of the room, then it's going kind of null and void. So we're thinking about the, the functionality and the way that people are going to use the space; I think makes the most sense. Some of the things I didn't grab is, I definitely try to get away from putting the sofa on the largest wall or putting the dining room, the dining room table in the middle of the dining room with the chandelier over it is how can we truly change up the space to make it interesting, but without making things non-functional and that people aren't going to feel comfortable sitting on the sofa. And you know what I say is, I always start you know, number one with the focal point; going back to the focal point but then starting with the interior room and placing items in the room; moving them around, getting the perfect fit and sometimes it doesn't always work on the first or second or twelfth time, it truly takes you know, moving things around until you get done just the way that you want. And then, going on the fact that that you're working on the space that you can't change. I believe that interior design is starting with the project from like I said, from concept; taking a room and then you build their furniture and everything that goes into the room that base on the space that you have and that doesn't always work. So in the, in the case of that and where that's not the case, I would say all the times it is clearing at a room, deciding what the purpose of the room is, what furniture are must haves and what furniture you're placing the room first and sometimes it means adding furniture too to fill up spaces or a lot of times it means eliminating furniture that that just not truly serve the purpose and clatters the room."
