What is one of the first things that should be considered before arranging furniture?

One of the first things to consider before arranging furniture is the functionality of the space. Think about how you want the room to be used, and ensure the layout supports these activities. For example:
- Living room: Will it be used primarily for watching TV, socializing, or reading? Arrange the furniture to focus on the primary activity, like placing seating around a central TV or creating a cozy conversation area.
- Bedroom: Will it be a peaceful retreat for sleep and relaxation, or do you need space for a desk or reading nook? Keep the bed as the focal point and leave enough space for movement and storage.
- Dining room: If you entertain often, arrange the table and chairs to allow for easy conversation and movement, or focus on creating a more intimate dining experience if it’s for family use only.
Identifying the primary function of the room helps you prioritize key pieces of furniture and optimize space for comfort, flow, and practical use. Once you know what the space needs to achieve, everything else (like aesthetics and style) will naturally follow.
