If you planning to buy new furniture for your living room, then most probably you have already thought about the furniture layout in your mind or else you have probably thought of repeating the same old layout with only the new furniture pieces. In this record I will show you a straightforward formula to generate the most effective layout for your living room.
Before we begin there are a few points that need to be considered. A living room is always a transition space. This means that entrances to all other rooms are placed in living room. Other bedrooms, dining room, kitchen etc. Are accessed through living room, that's why a adequate "circulation space" for house members is a must.
Dining Room Table Settings
So here is what you can do to generate the most effective layout for a living room.
1) Take a plane white paper. A4 size is also enough.
2) Draw a sketch plan of your living room on this paper. While drawing this plan it is prominent to show the following things in it:
a) entry door
b) entry doors to other rooms
c) Window positions
d) Minor column projections (if any)
e) Swing of the doors (inside or face the living room)
f) nearnessy of staircase
g) Fireplace (if any)
3) Take a pencil and draw lines starting from entry door to all other doors and window positions. This is the natural voyage lines for any man using the living room. If the room is empty without any furniture these are the lines any man would succeed to reach other point in the living room.
4) Now start placing the furniture units like 3 seat sofa, single/double seat sofa, coffee table, end tables lampshades, bookshelves, Tv unit, etc.. Depending upon your allocation you can go for any whole of these units.
While placing these units it will always be seen that the furniture obstructs the pencil voyage lines drawn in the third step. But that's Ok for now. Now make as may combinations and arrangements of the furniture units as possible. Think out of the box while doing this. Try to do something different.
Remember if you try you will truly come up with at lest 10 layout for that same living room. You will be amazed at how many combinations are possible. Also dream the furniture pieces you already have or can you replace that table in the bedroom with the one in the living room.
How about keeping it vertical rather that horizontal in the plan. Anyone you do keep one thing in mind. always keep the human movement "unobstructed". Habitancy passing through the living room in other rooms must be able to pass without cutting foresight if you are talking to other man in the living room.
That's why those pencil lines have been drawn. After you have drawn the furniture pieces on the living room plan, modify the voyage lines. Now these lines will be nearby the furniture, especially at corners. The voyage lines will now take the shape of the furniture at the edges.
After this short exercise you will have probably 5 distinct layouts on paper with. plump the one in which you see the following points of interest.
a)Travel line lengths are shortest.
b)Travel lines do not pass trough the furniture.
Apart from the efficiency there is an additional one factor called as optical equilibrium while designing a furniture layout. Finally does it look good to You. Are you comfortable with the final layout. The optical equilibrium is achieved by manufacture the most use of all walls of the living room with decorating elements such as paintings, color schemes, etc.
So if you succeed a theory from the starting you will be surely be able to generate a gorgeous living room in the shortest potential time. I hope this record has helped you to find more creative ways of doing this job more efficiently.
