room makeover

Now that the space is clear, identify the focal point of your room. This is usually a fireplace, a picture window with a great view, or perhaps a large entertainment center. Place the biggest piece of furniture opposite the focal point, creating a primary conversation area.  If you have a large room, you can select a secondary conversation area to balance off the size of the room. For example, with architectural styles utilizing a “great room” layout, you will have a primary living area, a secondary seating area, and a dining area arranged in one large open space.  In this example our focal point is the fireplace.

The first step is to clear out the space as much as possible giving yourself a clean slate to re-create the room.  Then decide what you want to keep in the room in order for it to function properly for you. Keep in mind you will re-build the space starting with the largest furniture pieces, placing them in such a way to provide for traffic flow, conversation, access to a view (possibly) and room balance.
