How To Select The Right Layout For Your Room

Let’s talk about room layouts! There’s no one size fits all answer when it comes to designing a room. Dimensions and structural fixtures make every space unique. So if you’re wondering how to pick the right layout for your room design, here are five tips to help!

Five Layout Tips

Pick a Focal Point

Choose a window, wall, fireplace, or piece of furniture to build the room around!

Find Applicable Inspiration Images

Save photos that have a similar structural layout as yours. Don’t get distracted by the decor, focus on the structure and furniture layout!

Test It Out

Use existing furniture or painters tape to mark out different layouts as a visual to help guide your final design. 

Mix It Up

Your first design isn’t always your last! Get creative and play around with various layouts until it feels just right. 

Learn From Your Mistakes

Becoming your own designer means making mistakes as you go. I originally bought a sectional for this space, not realizing how much it would chop up the room and make it feels small/closed off!
