As you unpack in your new apartment rental, you’ll need to determine where to put everything. The floor plan may be different than your last home, so do what you can to make the space comfortable. Here are a few tips to arranging your furniture in the new space perfectly.

How to Place Furniture in an Apartment Rental

1. Reflect the Space

Think about what you’ll use the area for. If you like to have company over often, group the couch and coffee table, and position them so that guests can enjoy the scenic views outside or a good glimpse of the TV. Make sure there’s ample space to walk around so that visitors can easily get up to go to the bathroom or refill their drinks.

2. Work With the  Floor Plan

If your apartment rental has a balcony or picture window, don’t block it with furniture since natural light will make the space feel airier. You should also hang mirrors to bounce light around the room.

Downsize to smaller, newer pieces when possible. For example, trade your old, bulky sectional for a streamlined loveseat. You can also swap a four-person dining table for a two-seater bistro set.

3. Create Visual Interest

Your room should draw the eye up and around it, not keep it stagnant at eye level. If you have short, squat furniture, offset it with tall floor lamps, wall-length bookcases, or a vertical entertainment center. You can also use wall decor to draw the eye upward by hanging paintings and floating shelves.
