Furniture Arranging for Beginners

Deciding how to arrange your furniture can be a bit of a challenge. Whether you are moving into a new home, you just purchased new furniture, or you are just looking for a new look, arranging your furniture doesn't have to be a daunting task. All you need to do is keep an open mind and have a few tips up your sleeve. That's where we come in! Your favorite furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks has a few tips for arranging your furniture!


Create a Focal Point 

When it comes to arranging your furniture, you should choose a focal point to arrange your furniture around. Most of us have a TV in our living rooms, so in that case, the tv is the focal point and your furniture should be arranged around it. If you aren't a TV watcher, no problem! You should still have a focal point. Your focal point can be a big window, a fireplace, or built-in shelving.

Leave Space Between Walls and Furniture 

Even if you have a small room, you never push furniture against the walls. Allow a couple of inches between the wall and the furniture to allow breathing room. You'd be surprised how this can actually make your room feel bigger. If you have a bigger space to work with, feel free to create conversation areas and walkways with your furniture.

Keep Traffic Flow in Mind 

Making sure that you keep traffic flow top of mind is essential. Keep plenty of space between coffee tables, chairs, and sofas. It should be easier for people to walk from one room to another without tripping over furniture.

Have Proper Lighting 

Lighting is an important element in any room. Often, a big overhead light, such as a fanlight, can be overpowering. Adding a few lamps in your space is a great way to not only introduce more lighting to your home but also add a great design element. Floor lamps go nicely beside sofas or behind accent chairs. Add a table lamp to shelves, mantles, and end tables. If you are looking for the perfect lamp to compliment your space, come to Eldon Furniture and check our selection of lamps at the Lake of the Ozarks.



Arranging your furniture perfectly doesn't have to be hard. Just remember to stay calm and have a plan. Sometimes trial and error is the best way to create the perfect furniture arrangement in your home. If you don't like the way you arrange it the first time, just keep trying until you love it! If you are looking for the perfect piece of furniture to complete your arrangement, come to the best furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks, Eldon Furniture! We have an extensive collection and you are sure to find exactly what you need!
