During this time of staying at home it can be the
perfect opportunity to give a twist to the decoration and distribution of
furniture in our home. A slight movement here and there can give a change to
the spaces and favor them in the future. Today we share some tips so that this
distribution is the ideal one.
1- Light
bedroom
A good screen, built-in wardrobes, flown tables
will be the basics for order to be present in the room. In this way, you have
the maximum capacity and the minimum presence, only what is essential for a
good rest. Sideboards and similar furniture should be leaning directly against
the wall. Any other arrangement will steal space and be artificial. You can
also opt for a mirror for visual depth .
For accessories, the pictures and pictures that are
hung on the wall should not be too close to the ceiling, it may cause a feeling
of lack of proportion. Likewise, when they are hung on a sideboard or other
similar piece of furniture, a free space of 30 cm should be left to avoid the
feeling of lack of space.
2- Furniture two in one
A great way to make the most of your spaces is with
dual-function or multi- functional Designer Furniture. In areas such as
the living room it will be where they can stand out more and save time and
space. Choose furniture based on the space available and its functionality. For
example, for the kitchen it is essential to have all the necessary tools and
accessories as close as possible.
Other options are a bench with storage space, a
trundle bed, a dresser , etc .; They are pieces with more than one function
that make it possible to reduce the number of furniture and gain space without
losing utility.
3- Wide traffic areas
Communicate different rooms or areas by eliminating
doors or passageways , thus gaining visual continuity and space at the same
time. For the living room, create an intercommunication space through a
circular environment, grouping armchairs and the coffee table in a circle . The
rest of the furniture will be placed next to the walls.
Another idea for the distribution of furniture is
to place a piece of furniture as a central element of the place and to arrange
the rest of the furniture around it . You can use both a fireplace and a work
of art, a piano or any other element. A recommendation for the distribution of
furniture is to leave corridors of at least 75 cm to be able to move easily.
Recommended
distance
Living room: Between the sofa and the coffee table
there should be 40 cm to move the legs comfortably; between the sofa and the
side tables about 15 cm.
Dining room: For the dining room, the
recommendation is that the chairs have 90 cm free behind to be able to move
them without problems.
Bedroom: To make it comfortable, 60 cm should be
left free at the side and side of the bed, and at the foot of the bed, a step
of 80 cm; between the wardrobe and the bed, leave at least 1 m to open doors
and drawers.
Study: You only need 1 m long and 30 cm deep, a
computer and the desk does not occupy that much.
It can also be useful for the distribution of
furniture to place two sofas back to back to create a feeling of spaciousness ;
as well as the triangulation, a couple of tables arranged next to the sofa and
the large work of art hanging just above the sofa . In this way, balance and
symmetry are achieved in any space in the home.
For small pieces of furniture such as beanbags,
ottomans or end tables, the solution is to place them close to other larger
pieces of furniture or group the small ones together, such as a pouf or ottoman
under the coffee table.
4- Furniture adjusted to the meters
Make sure that the furniture is proportional ,
because if they are too big they will eat up the space. In addition, it is also
important to take advantage of all the available spaces and meters. For
example, a depth of 20 cm can be used to place a shelf to support books and
even table lamps ; 30 cm make it possible to make a china cabinet or a small
pantry ; With a 40 cm depth you can create a closet for your linen or a shoe
rack.
5- Distribution according to shape
The online distribution is the most fail of space.
Concentrate the elements on a single wall and avoid furniture that goes from
floor to ceiling , as they narrow the space more.
Another idea is to distribute the furniture in an
"L" . An "L" shaped sofa , a showcase, a custom bench . In
the kitchen, a free zone will be created that will allow you to work more
comfortably. In the case of the living room, a more dynamic space is obtained
and it will seem that the meters are “stretched” if the furniture is
distributed diagonally.
The round tables are ideal for square and small
rooms. Rectangular tables will work well in a variety of spaces , depending on
the size. If you have a large window or a French door, it will be a good idea
to place the table near the source of natural light.
If the kitchen is at least 220 cm wide, two
parallel furniture fronts can be made . For narrower kitchens, it can be done only
if one of the walls is glazed.
Now follow these recommendations for the distribution of
furniture so that any corner of the rooms of the home are used to the maximum
and the decoration of any home is perfect, maintaining the order and neatness
of the spaces. At Coley home we have excellent custom made headboards options that
