Rethink & Rearrange

WHAT IF

there could be more light, space or room if you moved just one piece of furniture? Could your desk use more natural light or are you finally over bumping your leg on that dresser? Thought so.

Stand in your least favorite room and think about what bothers you the most. Does it feel small, is there too much stuff or is the lighting dull?

Think about how you’d really like to use this space. Maybe recall something you saw in a magazine, on Pinterest, or a design show. What best describes the function and lifestyle you want? Before you get frustrated for having limited construction skills, a small budget, minimal time or maybe being partnered with a duct tape fix it person, relax. The solution may be so much easier than kicking your way through a wall and renting a dumpster for your front lawn.

Now, what if you moved the desk to be under or closer to the window? Maybe a chair from another room is just the piece this room needs to create a cozy reading space. As for that dresser that keeps bruising your legs, it can go in the corner or the opposite wall so your legs can heal. Moving one piece of furniture or adding some much needed light to a dark corner can make a drastic difference in your productivity or for your relaxation. That’s all it may take to clear a path and reinvent a space. Keep rethinking and rearranging other rooms until you love them all the same.
