Where do you start when considering a new room design? What specific item is the key to unwrap how your room design will unfold? What is that essential element that will make or break your room design?

When performing any room design, it helps to step back from what is already present and look at the space with new perspective. By setting aside how the room or space is already designed, you will be more open to allow new ideas and creative thoughts to flow.

The best way to start from scratch is to use a floor planner or room layout program that allows you to recreate the bare essentials of a room or entire home. There is no better method to genuinely eliminate the current room layout from your minds eye.

It’s very helpful to work from an overhead view of a room where you can simply drag furniture and home decor items and set them in place as desired. You can easily and quickly see how well things fit or don’t fit. Overall, this works great for performing furniture placement and calculating furniture sizes, but it falls short of providing all the elements necessary to create a new room design.
