Designing a room in your current living space can sometimes be stressful, time-consuming, and tedious. But the good news is, it doesn\u2019t have to be. All you have to do is keep it simple and start with the basics. Here are a couple of questions to ask yourself to help create a sense of direction. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What am I going to be using the room for?<\/b><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

The actual dimensions of the living space are going to vary from room to room. Some will have more windows and doors than others. Some will have power outlets in places that others don\u2019t. So how you maneuver around those room distinctions will have to be left up to you. Once you have those distinctions mapped out, you can start by asking yourself, \u201cWhat am I going to be using this room for?\u201d. This is a critical question that needs an answer because you don\u2019t want a dining table in the middle of your living room. Below are a few examples of room usage. <\/span><\/p>\n

What is going to be my focal point for this room?<\/b><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Once you\u2019re aware of the activities that will be taking place in your room, the next question to ask yourself is, \u201cWhat is going to be my focal point for this room?\u201d. For those that don\u2019t know what a focal point is, it can be defined as a point of interest or emphasis in a room. The focal point is the foundation of the room and is what takes lead when deciding on where to place your furniture. Here are some popular examples. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The TV<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

Accent\/Interesting Piece<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

\"focal-point-conversation\"<\/h3>\n

Natural Element<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

Now that you have the basics down, you should have an idea on where to start when you’re thinking about designing a room. We hope this helped you and if you\u2019re looking for more, stay tuned for later posts where we will be diving deeper into the design process. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
