Rearrangement in the room: how to do it? Photo and video
Psychologists say that change has a positive effect on a person: this applies to both lifestyle and the environment. People spend a significant portion of their time at home, so they can get bored with the same atmosphere, but renovations cannot be done often. Rearranging will help make a difference in life, as well as make living in an apartment or house more comfortable. It’s simple, pretty fast, and cheap.
Rearrangement in the room
Preparing for the rearrangement
It is impractical to start rearrangement immediately with active actions: even if you have a rough plan in your head, then in fact the appearance of the room may not be at all what you expected, or the size of the furniture will not allow you to implement your plan. Therefore, you need to start by creating a clear plan for the rearrangement.
Measure the dimensions of all the furniture in the room and write them down. Draw a scale plan of your room on a piece of paper, mark the doors and windows. Make small copies of furniture and other objects out of paper and, moving them around the plan, try different options for rearranging.
This procedure does not have to be done on paper; there are special computer programs – interior design planners, including three-dimensional ones. There are also online services that allow you to plan your room or apartment relocation.
When creating a rearrangement plan, focus on the size of the room and the amount of furniture: if the room is less than fifteen square meters, and there are a lot of objects, then it is best to place them against the wall so that you can walk freely. If the room is large, but there is little furniture, which makes it seem uncomfortable, then you can visually narrow the space by placing some objects not along the wall. Also remember that with the help of a competent rearrangement, you can divide the room into functional zones: for example, with a sofa in the middle, separate the living area from the office. Look on the Internet for photos of various options for the arrangement of furniture in the rooms, perhaps you will be inspired by some idea.
Find the center of symmetry in the room – this can be a table, sofa, carpet on the floor – and group the rest of the furniture around
Unlike repairs, the rearrangement does not require so much time, so it is advisable to carry out it on the same day, without interruptions. Set aside a day off on which you have no other plans.
Disassemble all large-sized furniture or invite friends and acquaintances to participate in the rearrangement. Place a blanket or some kind of material on the floor to protect the floor from scratches when furniture moves. First of all, move large furniture, having previously washed the floor in the place where you want to put it. Then move on to smaller items. When the rearrangement is complete, wash the floors everywhere, especially paying attention to the places where the furniture used to be, as there could be a lot of dust. After rearranging, you may find that the cabinet or table used to cover a hole in the wallpaper or a stain on the floor. This is not a reason to put everything back in its place, but an excuse to do a little redecoration to completely renew the room.
