Design to Accommodate Your Furniture
hat’s the easiest way to make your home your belongings? Design your plan around your furniture, instead of trying to fit your furniture into a plan. Got an L-shaped sectional you can’t live without? Design the great room around it? Will a queen-sized bed do just fine, rather than a monster king? Downsize the primary bedroom so it won’t feel empty (and you can allocate that extra space somewhere you can use it more effectively). Does grandma’s hutch absolutely have to be on display? Create a recessed nook in the dining room to house it, so it doesn’t jut out into the eating area. These simple considerations will personalize your place.
