How furniture sits in a room decides how it feels to move through, long before any decorating. This category is for people planning a new arrangement, working with a small space or dividing an open-plan area into zones. It is the largest category here, with three guides.
Where to start
- How do you lay out a room so it works better? Start here for the principles of flow and function.
- How do you make a small room feel bigger without renovating? Practical changes for tight spaces.
- How do you make an open-plan room feel zoned without closing it off? Defining areas without building walls.
Once the plan works, choose pieces in furniture choices.
