How to Have a Perfect Distribution of Furniture

 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.
