Let's start with cleaning

Putting things in order sets the mood for change: once you start cleaning, you shouldn’t stop at simply washing the surfaces.
We recommend disassembling the interior cabinets, getting rid of unnecessary things and freeing up space. Perhaps this will help set you up for more significant transformations: replacing bulky walls with lightweight cabinets and shelves, or selling an unloved chair or an outdated computer desk. General cleaning will help identify weak points in the apartment. Perhaps an awkwardly placed sofa has long been in your way or an empty corner has irritated you.

Making a plan

Before moving heavy furniture, it is worth developing a design. This seems difficult only at first glance: in fact, there are several ways to work on the layout:

• Manually draw a plan on a piece of paper.
• Use a computer program.
• Create a simple model by cutting out furniture from paper: such models are convenient to move around the drawing.

We monitor safety

You should be careful when rearranging furniture: remove everything that might get in the way—carpets, objects scattered on the floor, and wires. Before moving your wardrobe, you should completely empty it of clothes and belongings. The same goes for furniture with drawers or shelves. It is worth inviting an assistant, otherwise the large structures will be easily damaged.

There are several tricks to avoid scratching the flooring when moving furniture:

• Place pieces of old linoleum under the legs of a cabinet or sofa.
• Use a wool rug.
• If the listed items are not available, slices of raw potatoes, plastic jar lids, and pieces of damp cotton cloth will come to the rescue.

Also on sale are special shoulder straps for carrying heavy objects, which reduce the load by 66%.

Preparatory stage

Rearranging furniture in the apartment must be planned. It is best to make a detailed drawing or simulate the future design on a computer. Do not neglect the exact dimensions of the room and all the items in it, otherwise a bulky closet may turn out to be too large for a niche that just 5 minutes ago seemed like an ideal place for it.

Modeling the furnishings of a room will allow you to avoid unnecessary labor costs, save time and prevent damage to floor and wall coverings as a result of thoughtless movements of large items from one corner to another.

Also, to make your work much easier, you need to empty the furniture in the room of its contents. It is also necessary to restore order along the path of movement of the structure - all small and large objects must be removed. Please note that when carrying the product, any of its doors or drawers may open. At best, you will have to stop to correct the situation; at worst, your property will deteriorate and damage will occur. To avoid this, all easily opened parts of the furniture are securely fixed with tape.

Working with light

If your reading area or work desk is tied to outlets or wall lights, it's worth considering this before moving furniture. The lack of light brings a feeling of discomfort, so you should think about the level of illumination in advance.

You may need additional light sources or extension cords that will have to be hidden. It is good if the apartment has portable lamps, lamps and floor lamps.

Thinking through the functionality

When starting a transformation, it is worth determining what functional areas you need. For example, have you always needed a mini-office, a reading nook, or extra storage space.

If more than one person lives in a room, zoning will be needed: a shelving unit placed across the room, a sofa with its back turned, or a curtain as a partition will do. Pay attention to the corners - they often remain unused and the usable area is reduced.

The TV and computer should not be placed opposite the window - the screen will glare. The distance between the TV and the viewer should be at least three diagonals.

Changing furnishings

We recommend not limiting yourself to one room: perhaps universal furniture like chests of drawers, shelving or nightstands will find their use in another room or even the kitchen.

It is also worth “breaking up” long-established pairs - for example, the usual table and chair that look good together. Combine different elements with each other so that the combinations look new, but remain harmonious. If the furniture no longer seems modern, one of the options for transforming it is restoration at home.

If the kitchen is tiny, and rearranging the living room has freed up several useful meters, it is worth organizing a dining room in the living room. An unconventional approach can appeal to all household members and bring new experiences to life.

Arranging furniture correctly

In order for the rearrangement to bring a positive result, you should listen to the following tips:

• An elongated rectangular room looks more aesthetically pleasing if its shape is brought closer to a more regular one. A closet located against a short wall, or zoning dividing the room into two squares, will help.
• To make the room seem larger, you can arrange the furniture symmetrically.
• By adding or rehanging a large mirror, you can make the interior lighter and more interesting.
• The atmosphere will become more comfortable if you place two closets on either side of the sofa or bed.
• It is not necessary to place the head of the bed against the wall - you can turn it with the foot towards the window or even place it diagonally.

Rearranging is a great alternative to remodeling that doesn't require any expense and helps freshen up your space.

Basic Rules

Rearranging furniture is carried out according to the main rule: the ease of use should not be inferior to aesthetic properties. If the cabinet fits harmoniously between the bed and the chair, but its door cannot be opened completely, the place has been chosen incorrectly. Do not neglect the following recommendations:

1. Furniture in a small room is placed in only one order: first large items, then small ones.
2. All removable parts of heavy structures are first dismantled.
3. To move objects that are too large, special devices are used.
4. If there are wheels on the base of a table or cabinet, you need to make sure that they are intact.

A radical rearrangement of furniture can be done in the living room, bedroom or children's room. In the kitchen, the possibilities are significantly limited, because it is unrealistic to swap the sink and gas stove without the participation of a specialist and additional financial expenses. However, the atmosphere can be diluted with additional elements, while following simple rules. It is unacceptable to place heat sources near the refrigerator, and dishes and household appliances should be located in close proximity to the work area. When moving a dining table or other pieces of furniture, avoid the risk of damaging gas or water lines.

Updating your bedroom decor is as easy as rearranging your living room furniture. In the first case it is not recommended:

1. Place the bed opposite the front door, as light from the next room will cause discomfort when the door is open.
2. Place a mirror opposite the bed.
3. Install the cabinet near a window, otherwise you will have to turn on the light every time you use it.
4. Littering a small room with too many items.

When arranging a living room, you cannot place the TV with the screen towards the window and closer than 3 meters to the sofa or armchair. To make a long room cozy, you need to visually create a square. The following will help in solving this problem: a corner sofa, special partitions, shelving, and other pieces of furniture.

The width of passages in living rooms must be at least 60 cm.

A small child is unlikely to appreciate the modern design of a room; comfort is of paramount importance to him. For this reason, the children's bed is rearranged so that there are no irritating factors around. For schoolchildren, it is important to provide a large amount of light in the work area.
