Once you have purchased your furniture, you need to start thinking about how to position the pieces. Here is a quick guide on different strategies on how to organize furniture.

Once you’ve finally picked out the furniture you want and have it delivered, you are stuck with the task of trying to arrange it in the most pleasing way possible. Arranging furniture can be tricky, but with a little bit of planning you can set up your living space to be functional and stylish. Here is how to arrange furniture in your home.

If you are purchasing new furniture, it is a good idea to consider how you would want to arrange your furniture before you even hit the stores. Take good measurements of each of the rooms you are planning to furnish. When you go to pick out your furniture, take these measurements with you so that you can have a better understanding of how much room the furniture will take up.

After your furniture has arrived, there are two main ways to arrange it. First, you can make a drawing of your room on graph paper, setting it to scale. Make paper cut outs of each piece of furniture, making sure they are also done to scale. Manipulate your furniture on the drawing in order to see how each piece is able to fit the best. Although this method typically allows you to get a precise look at how your furniture is going to appear once placed in the room, some people find it too time consuming. The other way of arranging your furniture is simply to place it in the room, and continue moving it until it looks the way you want. Of course, this involves a lot more manual labor and if your furniture pieces are large or heavy, this is a lot easier said than done.

No matter which way you decide to arrange your furniture, there are few things to keep in mind. First, you should try to have symmetry in your design. If you have tall lamps or other high pieces, you’ll want to make sure that they are present in both sides of the room. If you have a piece that really stands out, you’ll either want to place it as a focal point in the room, or if you would rather draw attention away from it, place it over to the side. It is fine to mix and match furniture styles or colors. Just remember that less is often more when it comes to furniture. Too many pieces can cause a room to look cluttered.

There really is no right or wrong way to arrange furniture. Some people believe that the arrangement of furniture is important because it allows energy to flow throughout the room. If that is something you are interested in, there are books that teach you the art of feng shui. Otherwise, just focus on making the room functional and symmetrical and the rest will fall into place.

We are working almost daily with stain removal from natural stone surfaces. In fact I would say that in some instances we visit the same house more than 3 times in as many months.

Stains in stone are something that should be left to the professional. Sure, there are many quick fix websites offering advice but let me tell you, if you don’t get it right first time it may be that the tile will need replacement and finding a match is nearly impossible.

Nowadays, Stone Seals and sealants are in abundance, but which one is right for you?

Firstly - Never let the builder, renovator or floor installer apply the seal. The seal is an arduous task that needs careful consideration and correct application. I probably remove over 10,000 sq mtrs of poorly applied Lithofin stain stop a year where the application has basically wiped it onto the floor leaving it porous and not sealed at all. So the householder has not only paid for the Lithofin seal but for us to remove it and provide the correct sealer for the stone.

“The Correct Sealer” I hear you cry. Yes, I am afraid to say that they are many types of sealer for many different stone types and what tasks the stone needs to do. Firstly there are water based and solvent based sealers. Read the rest of this entry »
