AN interior design enthusiast has shared a rule that simplifies home decorating. A free program helps them organize their home layout without moving furniture around. Redditor AdHot6173 shared the interior design tip in a viral post.
A trick that's saved them time and effort only requires one simple step. "The 'rule' that helped me the most was placing my largest piece of furniture on the longest wall," they said. "Then, I work my way down size-wise until all I have left is my accent furniture (end tables, floor lamps).
" A free tool, they added, makes the process even simpler without needing to lift a finger. "There is an online program (it's free) that you can type in your room [dimensions] and add your furniture so you get a floor plan (and you can move it around without physically moving it around)," they said. It's called Icovia Space Planner .
This really helped me in my new home as we have some shared/awkward spaces, and I am getting too old to move furniture [ten times more] if I don't like where it's at." Another trick also helps them visualize their space. "I also found that seeing it from a bird's eye view really helped, too," they said.
"It doesn't really do anything for color, pattern, or anything but just your furniture layout." The interior design fan also shared a resource for those looking for decor and layout inspiration. "Pinterest would be a great visual resource for you as well; it can help you narrow down your style and colors you like," they said.
