Plan the layout before you buy
Measure the room and mark doorways and windows. A simple floor plan prevents buying pieces that block traffic or feel crowded.
Define zones
Decide on seating, media, and a small task area if needed. Clear zones make the room feel intentional.
Select furniture by function
Choose pieces that match how you use the room rather than trends. Prioritize comfort, storage, and durability.
- Start with a sofa sized for your seating needs.
- Add a coffee table that allows 12–18 inches of clearance from the sofa.
- Use side tables or nesting tables for flexibility.
Scale and proportion
Match furniture height and scale to room size. Low, long sofas suit wide rooms; taller backs work in rooms with high ceilings.
Finishing touches
Layer textures and lighting to make the space usable and inviting.
- Mix one large rug with a secondary rug or runners in adjacent areas.
- Combine overhead, task, and accent lighting for balanced illumination.
- Use storage that doubles as decor: baskets, console tables, and shelving.
Small changes—swapping a chair, moving a light, or adding an ottoman—can improve flow without a full redesign. Plan, prioritize function, and build the room in stages.
